Water Bath (Copper)
Water Bath (Copper) (Product Code: SCL352/075) is a 6 inch hemispherical water bath made of copper sheet, used in biology practicals to heat test tubes and small vessels gently in hot water rather than over a direct flame. It has two handles and a set of concentric rings that adjust the opening to the vessel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Copper Water Bath Used For in Biology?
In the Benedict's test for reducing sugars, tubes of food extract and reagent are stood in the boiling water bath for a few minutes until a coloured precipitate forms. In the starch test on leaves, a leaf softened in hot water is placed in a tube of alcohol, and that tube is warmed in the bath so the chlorophyll is removed without bringing the alcohol near a naked flame.
Teachers also use the bath for simple enzyme and temperature experiments, adjusting the flame and checking the water with a thermometer. Keep the water well above the base of the tubes, stand tubes in a small beaker if they tend to tip, and dry the bath after class to keep the copper in good condition. It is a basic item of biology lab equipment in India for secondary schools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Water Bath (Copper) SCL352/075?
The Water Bath (Copper) SCL352/075 is 6 inches (about 152 mm) in diameter and hemispherical in shape. It is made of copper sheet and has two handles and a set of concentric rings to suit different test tubes, beakers and dishes.
Why use a water bath for the Benedict's test?
A boiling water bath such as the Water Bath (Copper) heats all the Benedict's test tubes evenly at the same temperature, so colour changes can be compared fairly, and it avoids the bumping and spitting that happen when tubes are heated directly in a flame.
Can alcohol be warmed in the Water Bath (Copper)?
Yes, this is a common use: a test tube of alcohol containing a leaf is stood in hot water in the Water Bath (Copper) to remove chlorophyll. Turn the burner off first, because alcohol vapour must never reach a naked flame.
Who manufactures the Water Bath (Copper) SCL352/075?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Water Bath (Copper) SCL352/075 as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
What is the difference between the two copper water bath listings?
The Water Bath (Copper) SCL352/075 is listed at 6 inches in diameter in copper sheet, while Water Bath Copper SCL-602/049 is listed at 150 mm in thick copper sheet weighing 3 to 4 kg. Both are hemispherical with concentric rings and two handles.
What should a quotation request for the Water Bath (Copper) include?
Include the product code SCL352/075, the number of Water Bath (Copper) units, your delivery address, and any burners, tripods or gauzes you need. Quotations come directly from ScienceLab as the manufacturer, for delivery in India or international markets.
