BT Series
The BT Series is a shaking water bath incubator from Yamato Scientific that combines an easy-to-use constant temperature water tank with an integrated shaking mechanism, suitable for culturing, reaction, and lysis applications.
Manufacturer: Yamato — Japan
Overview
The BT Series is a shaking water bath incubator from Yamato Scientific that combines an easy-to-use constant temperature water tank with an integrated shaking mechanism, suitable for culturing, reaction, and lysis applications. A high temperature distribution of ±0.1°C is achieved in the tank due to the stirring function of the pump, so the bath can also be used as an accurate water tank when shaking is not needed. The shaking width can be changed from 10 to 40mm, and shaking speed is step-less variable from 20 to 160 rpm. It is equipped with enhanced safety functions, including automatic overheat prevention, temperature sensor abnormality detection, and an overcurrent leakage breaker.
Excellent Temperature Distribution
A high temperature distribution of ±0.1°C can be obtained in the tank due to the stirring function of the pump, allowing accurate use as a water tank even when shaking is not used.
Variable Shaking
The shaking width can be changed from 10 to 40mm, and the number of shakes is step-less variable from 20 to 160 rpm.
Enhanced Safety Functions
The bath is equipped with safety functions such as automatic overheat prevention, temperature sensor abnormality detection, and an overcurrent leakage breaker as standard equipment.
Varieties of Options
A top lid enhances heat retention and prevents water evaporation for long-term use, and options for external communication, temperature output, time-up output, and external alarm can be selected.
