LAUDA Alpha

Heating and cooling thermostats for cost-effective

thermostating in the laboratory at temperatures
from -25 up to 100 C
Application examples

Sample preparation for

chemico-pharmaceutical
analysis

Quality control

Precise temperature control

in sensitive areas such as
medical serology

Versatile thermostating tasks

in the field of biotechnology
LAUDA Alpha is the cost-effective choice in
the area of high-quality LAUDA thermostats.
The temperature range from -25 up to 100 C
covers the larger part of all basic thermostatic
applications within the laboratory. This is exactly
the working temperature range of the LAUDA
Alpha. This well-priced equipment range is
made possible by minimizing any unnecessary
features, with the focus on reliability and user-
friendliness. The thermostats are suitable for
operation with non-fammable liquids (water,
water/glycol) and for both internal and external
thermostating tasks. A 1-point-calibration of the
thermostats can be carried out by the user.
Reliable technology, modern design, favorable price

The immersion thermostat A can be used for any bath with a wall thickness
of up to 30 mm by means of the screw clamp included in the scope of
delivery. Using the additional pump circulation set and a cooling coil, the
immersion thermostat can be expanded to form a full-fedged thermosta-
ting system.
