Goal

Improve lab safety and decrease lab set up time by utilizing a two block dry bath hot block. Biomedical science lab experiments require samples be processed in water temperatures in excess of 200F. Hot liquids present a lab safety hazard. Dry hot baths help prevent accidental burns and reduce set up time. 

What will be done with my students

Biomedical science experiments and lab practicals routinely require student to immerse samples in hot water baths. Hot water baths expose students to the risk of burns. The use of dry baths for heating samples is used in most modern laboratories to reduce the exposure to burns from hot liquids, provide more precise temperature controls, and to reduces preparation time. 

Benefits to my students

Students will safely be able to process laboratory samples without the the risk of burns from hot liquids and hot equipment. Hot dry baths are specifically designed to prevent burns from hot samples. Dry hot baths more easily maintain accurate temperatures and produce better experimental results. Students continuing their biomedical education into college or seeking a career as biomedical technicians will benefit from being more familiar with modern dry bath equipment as opposed to outdated hot water baths. 

Budget Narrative

Two hot dry bath units will provide adequate capacity for 24 student classes. Items are sourced from an authorized distributor. Item is the laboratory standard found in research and medical laboratories.
