Refurbishment and Testing Process
At American Instrument Exchange, each refurbished water bath is inspected and evaluated by our technicians prior to shipment. Testing procedures may include temperature accuracy verification, controller functionality testing, heater operation assessment, display verification, safety control testing, reservoir inspection, and general operational evaluation. Components showing excessive wear are serviced or replaced as needed to help ensure dependable laboratory performance. Final cleaning and inspection are completed before packaging and shipment.
Shipping and Installation Considerations
The VWR PolyScience WBE20 should be installed on a stable, level laboratory bench capable of supporting the filled bath. Buyers should verify electrical compatibility and provide adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and routine maintenance. Distilled or deionized water is generally recommended to help reduce mineral buildup and prolong heater life. The unit is carefully packaged to protect the controller, heating system, and stainless steel reservoir during shipment.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Laboratories purchasing laboratory water baths often also require incubators, centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, laboratory refrigerators, and laboratory freezers. American Instrument Exchange offers a wide selection of refurbished laboratory equipment to support sample preparation, incubation, analytical testing, and research workflows.
