The Good
Reliable water bath, easy to read/use, and is low maintenance.
The Bad
Cost. Currently, $1,300 for the water bath at VWR, and $195 for 2L of beads at MidSci.
The Bottom Line
This water bath/bead combination is perfect for incubation of culture plates. Cells stay warm, as well as the media, and culture plates are stable during experiments.
