A water bath is a laboratory equipment that uses heated water to
maintain a constant temperature for the incubation, warming, or melting of
substances. It consists of a container filled with water and a heating element,
allowing precise temperature control. Water baths are commonly employed in
scientific research, medical laboratories, and industrial processes for
activities such as sample incubation, enzyme reactions, and maintaining a
consistent temperature for various experiments. They are versatile tools for
applications requiring a stable and uniform temperature environment,
contributing to reliable and reproducible experimental results.
