A useful Water Bath that is powered by an IEC Hot Plate. Two test tube stands can fit so biological work is low cost and convenient. The ends of the bath slide down to rest on the work bench for a stable support but also slide up to provide the smallest size for storage. The bath can be used also as a dry oven and will form an important part of IEC's new Gas Chromatograph.

A Thermostat Control  fits to the edge of the bath to control the Hot Plate so the water temperature is held constant. This control is purchased separately.    

For an approxiate temperature control,  the careful adjustment of the heat regulator of the Hot Plate can keep the water bath reasonably steady but not as regulated and accurate as the Thermostat unit.
