Ratek Lids and Accessories for Ratek SWB Series Digital Shaking Waterbaths Description

Ratek Gabled Clear Polycarbonate Lid Description:

The Gabled Clear Polycarbonate Lid incorporates a unique pitched design that ensures water run-off is directed away from vessels, preventing contamination and maintaining sample integrity during operation. This transparent lid allows for continuous visual monitoring of samples while providing protection from external contaminants, making it ideal for applications requiring temperatures up to 60°C. The polycarbonate construction offers excellent chemical resistance and durability while maintaining optical clarity for observation purposes.

Ratek Gabled Stainless Steel Lid Description:

The Gabled Stainless Steel Lid delivers superior performance for higher temperature applications up to 100°C, featuring an innovative cold surface design that maximizes condensate collection while minimizing water loss through evaporation. This professional-grade stainless steel construction provides exceptional thermal efficiency and corrosion resistance, making it perfect for demanding laboratory environments where extended operation and precise temperature control are essential. The gabled design of both lid options ensures optimal condensation management, reducing the need for frequent water replenishment and maintaining consistent operating conditions. These specialized lids represent Ratek's commitment to providing complete waterbath solutions that enhance operational efficiency and deliver reliable performance across diverse laboratory applications.

Ratek RR20 Universal Large Rack Description:

The Ratek RR20 Universal Large Rack is a versatile accessory designed to provide secure containment for various laboratory containers during shaking operations with the SWB20D waterbath. This adjustable rack system features rubber-covered bars equipped with thumb screw clamps that can be strategically positioned on either side of bottles or flasks to eliminate movement during mixing procedures. The rack's flexible design also allows it to accommodate test tube racks when needed, making it an essential tool for laboratories requiring reliable sample stability during temperature-controlled agitation processes.

Ratek TCT20 Tulip Clip Tray Description:

The Ratek TCT20 Tulip Clip Tray serves as a specialized mounting platform for the SWB20D shaking waterbath, designed to work in conjunction with Ratek's stainless steel tulip clips for securing conical flasks of various sizes. This tray system allows the individual tulip clips to be fastened with screws and provides the flexibility to easily remove or rearrange clips as experimental requirements change. The tray offers laboratories a convenient solution for maintaining consistent flask positioning during shaking operations while enabling quick reconfiguration between different vessel sizes and experimental setups.

Ratek 10mm Hollow Polypropylene Balls Description:

These buoyant 10mm hollow polypropylene spheres from Ratek form an active thermal barrier across any water bath surface, significantly reducing both evaporation rates and thermal energy loss by trapping steam below the water line. The spheres demonstrate excellent adaptability by automatically parting when samples are inserted or removed, making them ideal for laboratory workflows that demand regular bath access without compromising temperature stability. With dependable functionality spanning temperatures from -15°C to +120°C, they deliver reliable performance across a wide spectrum of laboratory applications.

To achieve optimal surface coverage, determine the necessary quantity by measuring your bath's opening area and applying the standard coverage ratio of 3 spheres per square centimeter. For instance, a water bath measuring 300 x 400mm at the opening would need approximately 3600 spheres to maximize effectiveness in minimizing evaporation and reducing energy usage.
