Description
Glass bead thermal beads are soda-lime glass spheres intended for laboratory thermal-bath and dry-bath applications where free-flowing beads replace liquid media. The beads have a diameter range of 2,4–2,9 mm and are supplied in a 1,6 kg unit quantity, providing a practical fill volume for common bath inserts and heating blocks. Soda-lime glass offers a stable, reusable solid medium that supports even heat distribution around tubes and vials during incubation, tempering or sample conditioning steps. These thermal beads from manufacturer ROTH SELECTION fit workflows in molecular biology, chemistry and general laboratory practice where dry thermal contact is preferred over water or oil baths. The defined diameter band helps maintain consistent packing density and heat transfer around sample vessels. Use the 1,6 kg pack to charge or top up bead baths, reduce splash and evaporation risks associated with liquid baths, and simplify cleaning between runs. The product is catalogued under laboratory thermal accessories and is specified solely by glass type, bead diameter and pack weight as given by the manufacturer.
This article is part of Laboratory cleaners & detergents, in Cleaning & disinfection.

What is this article?
Glass bead thermal beads, Soda-lime glass, Ø 2.4 - 2.9 mm, 1.6 kg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Laboratory cleaners & detergents, inside Cleaning & disinfection, in Lab safety equipment.
A laboratory cleaner removes soil, grease and residues from glassware and benches. Phosphate, surfactant and whether it is for a machine or for the hand are the differences. A cleaner is not a disinfectant unless a biocidal claim is printed, with a contact time.
Cleaning removes soil. Disinfection kills or inactivates microbes that remain. They are not the same step, and a disinfectant on top of dirt does less than the label claims. The spectrum, the contact time and the surface decide the product. A wipe is the mechanical half of the same job. Chemical classification is on ECHA. Workplace practice is EU-OSHA on dangerous substances. Biosafety context is the WHO biosafety topic.
