Ratek Gabled Lids for Ratek WBx000 Series Un-circulated Heated Waterbaths

Benefits of Ratek Gabled Lids

Gabled lids represent a critical accessory for maximizing waterbath efficiency and sample protection across laboratory applications. The distinctive angled design ensures proper condensate management by directing water runoff away from sample vessels, preventing contamination and maintaining experimental integrity. These precision-engineered covers significantly reduce evaporation rates and heat loss, making them invaluable for extended operations and temperature-sensitive procedures where consistent thermal performance and sample security are paramount.

Ratek Gabled Clear Polycarbonate Lid Description:

The Gabled Clear Polycarbonate Lid combines exceptional visibility with robust chemical resistance, compatible with the WD5000D, WD2400D, WD700D, and WD1200D waterbath models. Its transparent construction allows continuous sample observation without lid removal, minimizing thermal disruption and contamination risks during critical procedures. The chemically-resistant polycarbonate material withstands aggressive laboratory environments while the signature gabled architecture ensures optimal condensate drainage, making this lid ideal for applications requiring both visual monitoring and protective coverage.

Ratek Gabled Stainless Steel Lid Description:

The Gabled Stainless Steel Lid delivers superior durability and thermal performance for the WD5000D, WD2400D, WD1100D, and WD700D waterbath series, engineered specifically for demanding laboratory environments. Featuring a cold surface design that maximizes condensation collection, this professional-grade lid significantly reduces water loss through evaporation while providing excellent corrosion resistance. The robust stainless steel construction combined with the gabled profile creates an optimal solution for high-temperature applications and extended operations where consistent thermal efficiency and long-term reliability are essential.

Ratek 10mm Hollow Polypropylene Ball Description Description:

The PPB10 pack of 100 x 10mm hollow polypropylene balls offers an economical solution for enhancing waterbath thermal efficiency across the WBx000 series when paired with appropriate lid systems. These lightweight 10mm spheres create a dynamic insulation layer that substantially reduces both evaporation rates and energy consumption by forming an active thermal barrier across the bath surface. Their intelligent design allows automatic repositioning during sample handling while maintaining continuous thermal protection, with reliable performance across temperatures from -15°C to +120°C. Calculate your requirements using the recommended density of 3 balls per square centimeter of surface area – for example, a 300 x 400mm bath opening requires approximately 3600 balls for optimal coverage, making multiple packs necessary for larger applications while providing maximum efficiency in heat retention and evaporation control.
