Baths
Routinely used in microbiology laboratories, baths create specific conditions to incubate samples that cannot be subjected to a naked flame. Either analog or digital controls set the constant temperature as well as the stirring or shaking additional operating mechanisms. Typically using water to gently apply heat to contained samples, oil and beads also used when elevated temperatures or more efficient methods are required. The baths may come with lids to stop heat from escaping and prevent outside contamination.

Enzymatic digester, GDE
Supplier: VELP SCIENTIFIC
The procedure for determining dietary fibre exposes the sample to a series of enzymatic digestions that simulate the real digestive process which takes place in the human or animal digestive tract, calculating the undigested residue remaining at the end of the analysis. Generally dietary fibre analysis is carried out on foods intended for human consumption whereas raw fibre analysis is carried out on animal feeds or on raw materials of vegetable origin, eg. cereals. The GDE performs enzymatic digestion, a delicate phase where samples are immersed in a thermostatic water bath and stirred. Continuous and constant sample mixing is necessary in order to prevent the sample from overheating. The unit consists of an immersion thermostat, a transparent polycarbonate tank and a VELP 6-place magnetic stirrer to ensure excellent thermoregulation and precision. The use of deionised water is recommended as it eliminates any possible cause of limescale.
