Water baths top out near 95–100°C. If your application needs more heat than that — reflux, high-boiling solvent removal, or constant-temperature work above 100°C — an oil bath is the right tool. Below 100°C, a water bath is simpler to run and clean.
What oil should I use?
Standard mineral or silicone heat-transfer oil rated for your target temperature works in all models; avoid oils rated below the bath's maximum setting. Check the manual for the specific viscosity Yamato recommends per model.
Are these genuine Yamato units with a warranty?
Yes. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer — every unit is factory-sealed, arrives with the full manufacturer warranty, and ships from US inventory.
Do the BOG/BOS baths include the stirrer?
The bath itself does not include the magnetic-stirrer hot plate — it's designed to seat one (MFD800/MFH800) in the base. Add a stirrer from Laboratory Stirrers if you need combined heat-and-stir.
How does this ship, and how fast?
Benchtop baths ship parcel from US inventory; the 37 L BOA-311 ships by freight due to size and weight, confirmed before you're charged. Orders of $50 or more ship free; smaller orders are rated by weight at checkout.
