HB eco from IKA, the compact heating bath for reliable heating in the laboratory
The HB eco from IKA is a heating bath specially designed to meet the needs of laboratories looking for a reliable, accurate and easy-to-use device for heating their samples. This compact model offers a capacity of 4 litres, allowing a volume of samples suitable for routine preparation and experimentation to be processed. Its ergonomic design, combined with its robust construction, makes it a practical and durable tool for everyday use.
This heating bath stands out for its temperature range from room temperature to 99°C, meeting the requirements of processes requiring controlled and gradual heating. The temperature is easily regulated using a rotary knob, while an LED display alternately shows the set temperature and the actual temperature, allowing the heating process to be monitored at all times. This dual display is particularly useful for protocols requiring high thermal accuracy, reducing the risk of errors and unwanted deviations.
The HB eco incorporates a high-performance safety system, including a fixed protection circuit that trips at 109°C to prevent accidental overheating. This device ensures user safety and protects sensitive samples from thermal damage. In addition, the bath is equipped with a micro-USB interface that facilitates connection to other devices or control systems, providing additional flexibility for modern laboratories.
The materials in contact with the medium, in particular 1.4404 stainless steel, ensure excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with various types of liquids. The tank also benefits from a design that facilitates cleaning, a major advantage in environments where hygiene is paramount. Ergonomic side handles allow for safe and comfortable transport, even when the bath is full.
With compact dimensions of 330 x 190 x 325 mm and a weight of only 3.9 kg, the HB eco fits easily on a workbench without cluttering the workspace. Its energy efficiency is also noteworthy, with a power rating of 1400 W and standby consumption reduced to 3 W, contributing to economical use. Designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of 5 to 40°C and relative humidity of up to 80%, it offers consistent performance even in varied environments.
The HB eco from IKA is therefore a wise choice for laboratories looking for a compact and reliable heating bath that combines safety, ease of use and robustness. It perfectly meets the needs of users who want efficient temperature control for their routine applications and guarantees a long service life thanks to its careful design and high-quality materials.
