This award winning Water Bath is part of a new product line of temperature control equipment. We worked closely with PolyScience's engineering staff to improve upon the existing units and better understand assembly and service requirements.

The ideation process included concept renderings and screen images of the new product line to evaluate different design languages. The chosen concept was further developed by creating prototype geometry using SolidWorks. The resulting part files were shared with our client for further review. A prototype model was built to ensure aesthetics, fit, finish, function and service of the new units.

The new line of circulating water baths conveys a sophisticated yet commercial design language. Human factors, assembly and service drove the basic functionality of the industrial design priorities.

This ergonomic design integrates convenient handles for ease of repositioning the units. The new products are designed with a unique lid docking system to store the reservoir cover. This design element eliminates mess when adding or removing liquid and samples. A corrosion and chemical resistant top plate dampens noise and remains cooler at high temperatures.

The compact design of the control head occupies a minimum of reservoir space to provide more room for liquid and samples. The control head can be rotated within a 180-degree radius. The operator can also easily view the temperatures with the large digital display.

The intuitive interface design makes the units simple to operate. Their LCD touchscreen technology features an icon driven interface to guide users through setup and operation. The operator can easily scroll through menus, functions and options, even while wearing gloves.

The units are easy to maintain. The design team incorporated a front mount drain and washable air filter to simplify maintenance.
