Water Bath Float
Product Code : LSK-BL-10172
Water Bath Float (SKU LSK-BL-10172) is a 76 x 114 mm float that takes 24 tubes of the 1.5–2.0 ml size and keeps them at the water surface during incubation in a water bath. It lets a group heat or hold samples at a set temperature for enzyme reactions, DNA work or microbiology steps without each tube needing its own support. Teaching and research labs can use it in any suitable bath. Science Lab Supplies handles quotations for the float from Ambala, India, for colleges, schools, institutes and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Water Bath Float
The float carries up to 24 tubes in a heated water bath, so a full set of samples reaches the same temperature together and can be lifted out at once. It serves enzyme, DNA and microbiology practicals in B.Sc. and M.Sc. biotechnology, biochemistry and microbiology, and Class 12 biotechnology projects.
- Incubating restriction digests, enzyme assays or heat-shock steps in a temperature-controlled bath such as the Water bath, 7 L.
- Holding tubes at a set temperature during DNA extraction practicals.
- Comparing water-bath incubation with dry heating in the six-tube Thermotubes Block Heater.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Water Bath Float is supplied as a single unit as described above: one 76 x 114 mm float taking 24 tubes of 1.5–2.0 ml. Tubes and the water bath itself are not included; both, along with racks for dry bench use, can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes can be prepared for one float or for a float per student group in a practical class. Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for that number on its quotation, and water baths, racks or centrifuges can be included on the same quote.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tubes does the Water Bath Float hold?
It takes 24 tubes. Tubes of 1.5 to 2.0 ml fit the float, so a full set of class samples or a series of reaction tubes can be incubated together in one bath.
What size is the float?
The float measures 76 mm wide and 114 mm long, about 3 x 4.5 inches. Check that your water bath has enough free surface area for the number of floats you plan to use at once.
Is a water bath included?
No. Only the float is supplied. A temperature-controlled water bath, tubes and racks for bench use are separate items that can be quoted alongside it on request.
Who supplies the Water Bath Float?
The float is available through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which prepares the quotation and handles packing and dispatch for laboratories, colleges, schools and distributors within India and abroad.
