Digital Dry Baths provide accurate "set and walk away" digital temperature selection, eliminating the need for external thermometers and repetitive "fine tuning" of a temperature control knob. Simply enter the desired temperature on the digital touchpad and the Benchmark Dry Bath provides accurate temperature with real time monitoring that continuously maintains the selected temperature within ±0.2°C. In addition, a digital timer is built into the touchpad display. Although it is not designed to shut off the heater, it can be used to alert the user that a chosen time interval has timed out.
