DEFINITION: A laboratory water bath is a tool used to maintain a very stable temperature much like an incubator.

Water baths can hold often temperatures within a tenth of a degree Celsius; the water is often circulated. Sometimes beads are used as a waterless option. Scientific water baths are also used in commercial kitchens to cook sous-vide.
Types of Water Baths
Water baths are used in industrial clinical laboratories, academic facilities, government research laboratories environmental applications as well as food technology and wastewater plants. Because water retains heat so well, using water baths was one of the very first means of incubation. Applications include sample thawing, bacteriological examinations, warming reagents, coliform determinations and microbiological assays. Different types of water baths may be required depending on the application. Below is a list of the different types of commercially available water baths and their general specifications.
