As water evaporates, it cools. Because evaporation has a cooling effect, a water bath must heat more frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA bead bath uses 4X less energy when set to 65°C and 2X less energy at 37°C.

The steam and pressure ruins the surface of the beads. We recommend a dry heat sterilization: 180°C for 2.5 hours. For a quick touch-up we recommend spritzing with 70% ethanol and stirring. If some debris falls into the beads we recommend placing them in a pail with water and a small about of Dawn, rinsing out multiple times, and then putting through the dry heat sterilization process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow long can I use Lab Armor™ Beads under normal conditions?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUnder normal conditions, Lab Armor™ Beads should last the life of the bath. If used incorrectly or if not maintained and cleaned properly, the surfaces of Lab Armor™ Beads can become damaged. We recommend that you avoid strong detergents, acids and bases. Bleach, for instance, may tarnish the surface of the Lab Armor™ Beads, reducing its fluidity and overall performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan Lab Armor™ Beads be used as an ice bath?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere are a number of different ways to use thermal beads. Many customers place containers of beads in their refrigerators, incubators and ovens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen creating an ice bath, be sure to keep the beads dry. We recommend separating the beads from the ice packs, which accumulate condensation. Some kind of mesh wire or fabric helps with this as well. Also, any condensation that builds on the surface of the beads will be able to drip through the mesh. It’s important to keep the beads from soaking in water for extended periods of time. Besides attracting contamination, excessive water contact will tarnish the surface of the Beads and reduce the fluidity of the bath. Also, as an alternative to ice packs, dry ice can be used to make a colder bath (\u0026lt;0ºC).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BVV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43818322165796,"sku":"CS-1801010656","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/3914\/1924\/files\/Beadbath-e1571689601865-510x395.jpg?v=1773856837","url":"https:\/\/www.growitdepot.com\/products\/cascade-20l-bead-bath-with-15l-lab-armor-beads","provider":"Grow It Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
