Go Headless - Get More Benefits

We didn’t set out to design one of the world’s most innovative refrigerated circulating baths. We simply set out to solve the issues that labs like yours face everyday – smaller workspaces, tighter budgets, laboratory stock issues, green-building goals, and overly complex equipment.

Off with its head

We started with the form factor: how to gain a large work area with a limited footprint. As with most great innovations – the solution was simple – we removed the control head to create more space. And we didn’t stop there. Designed from the ground up – we added enhanced remote monitoring capabilities, energy efficiency, global voltage input, and other tools and features to give you control and optimal precision. Imagine more space for your samples and smarter tools and features to simplify your daily tasks; so well designed anyone could use it.

The Thermo Scientific™ VersaCool™ Refrigerated Circulating Bath has, as it name implies, versatile design features that make it suitable for under bench, fume hood, industrial and even mobile installations. A wide variety of remote communication and monitoring capabilities, powerful pumping and redundant safety features make it well suited for medical and academic researchers, developers of pharmaceuticals and industrial applications. The modern look, high tech features and global voltage will simplify ordering and stocking for international companies looking to offer equipment with their products that reflect the same quality and innovation as their own

 “In the laboratory, it's all about maximizing results and sample integrity while minimizing space and energy usage,” said Howard Kopech, vice president/general manager, temperature control at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This product is an important advancement that leverages our more than 150 years of innovation in temperature control technologies.

Being the first bath circulator of its kind to feature a “headless" design, the VersaCool increases the number of samples that can be temperature controlled at one time while maintaining the bath's footprint.  With no heating or cooling coils located in the bath work area, the technology is easier to clean and maintain.

Remote communication and control enables users to monitor, notify, and control their application even when they are not in the lab.  This means the user can operate the bath from their office, on a train, or anywhere around the globe where they can connect to the internet. 

Many businesses do not allow for foreign mobile devices to be connected to a location’s Wi-Fi.  Connecting over Bluetooth allows for user to view the current temperature, change a set point, start a ramping program and be alerted to any warning or fault condition. Furthermore, it allows for users to connect without the need for IT to become involved. All VersaCool circulating baths come standard with Bluetooth connectivity and a mobile app will soon be available for Android and IOS telephones and tablets.

Our motivation is to continue building and evolving the breadth of our product portfolio as a trusted Temperature Control advisor, so you can stay focused on what matters most – uncovering the answers to science’s most perplexing questions
