USA Lab Thermal Beads, Sizes Options Variants, For Bead Baths

USA Lab Thermal Beads (High Purity Aluminum Beads), 1L, 2L, 4L, 5L, 8L Variants, For Bead Baths, High-Purity Aluminum Construction, Secure Vessel Support

USA Lab Thermal Beads (High Purity Aluminum Beads) are dry, thermal metallic beads designed to replace water in standard-depth, non-circulating and non-shaking laboratory water baths. They can also replace aluminum blocks in dry baths and ice in ice buckets, delivering stable temperature control without evaporation, condensation, or gray water.

Because the beads are dry and naturally more resistant to microbial growth than water, they help reduce contamination risk that can ruin experiments or create safety issues. The smooth, rounded bead shape flows fluidly and conforms to a wide range of vessels—allowing tubes, bottles, and flasks to stay positioned without racks, floats, or bottleneck weights.

With a broad operating range of -80°C to 180°C and high thermal conductivity, bead baths deliver consistent heating or cooling performance while keeping your bath cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain.

Features

• High-Purity Aluminum Construction: Crafted from high-purity solid aluminum for superior, rapid, and uniform heat transfer across the entire bath.
• Contamination-Free Water Bath Alternative: Replaces water in lab baths, completely eliminating evaporation, scaling, algae growth, and cross-contamination risks.
• Flexible Capacity Options: Available in 1L, 2L, 4L, 5L, and 8L pack sizes to seamlessly fit various laboratory bead bath dimensions and workload demands.
• Secure Vessel Support: Smooth, rounded metallic beads naturally hold tubes, vials, and bottles upright without the need for racks or floating accessories.
• High Thermal Stress Resistance: Built to withstand high-temperature applications with a melting point of $1220\ ^\circ\text{F}\ (660\ ^\circ\text{C})$.
• Easy Maintenance & Reusable: Non-porous surface allows easy cleaning and disinfection with standard lab disinfectants for long-lasting performance.
