Thermal Lab Beads™ also eliminate floating samples and the need for racks or weights. Samples slide easily into the beads and remain in place. Thermal Lab Beads™ provide stable support for most glass and plastic sample vessels and reduce messy dripping water. Thermal Lab Beads™ are environmentally friendly. They are made of recyclable material, they eliminate the need to use harmful germicides to clean the bath and they are more energy efficient to use than ...
