ShallowBaths™

CLIFTON with slogan2

ShallowBaths™

Temperature Range : Ambient + 5°C - 99°C
NE2D Shallowbath

Clifton digital ShallowBaths™ are perfect for heating small height samples such as micro tubes, micro plates and bottles. ShallowBaths™ require less water and less process chemicals, so are therefore economical to use. Controls feature auto alarm setting, illuminated on/off switch, heater and over temperature indications.

Comprising of a high quality corrosion resistant stainless steel tank, with a bright clean finish housed in a durable painted outer case. Painted surfaces feature anti-bacterial finish with a good chemical resistance.

Personal, small footprint water bath, providing a stable temperature environment for life science preparations.

Clifton Shallow Form Series

  • Clifton shallow height water baths for life science operate with low liquid level suiting small bottles, micro tubes and micro plates.
  • Low profile designs allows easy access to samples and improved visibility.
  • Small samples easily seen and not obscured by high sided baths.
  • Uses less water and energy.
  • When shelf fitted, working depth is 6mm

Traditional Style

  • If using a conventional water bath the minimum liquid level for accurate operation is above the height of small bottles tubes etc, often requiring the extra expense of additional raised shelf. 
Features and Benefits
Water drop icon

Clifton unstirred water baths are designed for immersion of flasks/bottles/racks in a highly stable temperature environment throughout the water bath. These ShallowBaths™ are ideal for small vessels, tubes and micro plates for incubation/heating.

Warranty icon

3 Year Warranty.

Serial no icon

Before leaving our factory every water bath is identified with a unique serial number and undergoes a factory calibration adjusting control to known traceable value. Electrically tested for safety at final inspection and a test certificate enclosed in rear of the instruction book.

Flasks icon

The shelf in the stainless steel tank provides a stable support for flasks/bottles/racks that can be removed for cleaning. The shelf is a low height design maximising the working height.

accessories icon

Broad range of accessories available to suit wide range of applications.

anti bac icon

Painted surfaces feature “anti-bacterial technology” which inhibits bacterial growth, improving hygiene requirements as demanded by clinical and laboratory environments.

Safety Features

Thermal cut out fitted in the heater.

Over temperature alarm automatically set 4˚C above set temperature with visual indicator and heating is turned off protecting samples from over heating.

IP rated clear booted on/off power switch.

Bath fitted with non-slip rubber feet.

Energy Consumption

0.33kWh @ 37°C
(Based on NE2-5D)
The lower the figure, the less energy used. Information supplied for size and range comparison, guidance only and measured consumption at set point. Please remember that the energy consumption may vary due to factors such as location, ventilation, ambient temperatures and loading.  ShallowBaths™ with smaller volumes of liquid use less energy.

Controls

Featuring bold LED display of measured temperatures in real-time, increments of ±0.1°C, using precision PID temperature control. Settings retained even after turning the unit off. Easy to use splash proof controls, touch keypads for setting temperature values with indicators for heating and over temperature alarm. Features auto setting over temperature alarm protecting samples at set temperature. Every unit undergoes a factory calibration at two temperatures for validation.

Heating and Sensors

Heaters and temperature sensor are concealed under the tank providing an easy to clean working area. The heating footprint covers the underside of the tank and with a low mass provides rapid energy transfer, resulting in quicker heat up times and a reduction in energy consumption and improved temperature uniformity.

Heating Information

Above 60°C it is recommended that to achieve optimum performance the bath should be covered with a lid or layer of polypropylene spheres - see accessories. Covering the bath with a lid reduces energy consumption and running costs.
This range of baths will operate at 99°C however are not designed for continuous boiling, the NE1B boiling bath range is recommended.

ACCESSORIES
Clear Lift Off Gable Lid

Clifton clear gable lids help reduce evaporation, assist in keeping samples in a water bath free from contamination and save energy. These gable lids with a high profile allows extended use of the bath, right into the edges of the tank. No drip points to contaminate samples. The lid design ensures all condensate returns back into the bath. Insulated handles for safe use.
