Universa Immersion thermostats
The LAUDA Universa series by LAUDA represents a versatile and high-performance range of immersion and bridge thermostats designed for professional laboratory temperature control applications.
Engineered for precision, flexibility, and ease of use, the Universa series is ideal for laboratories that require reliable internal bath control as well as external circulation to connected systems.
Overview
The LAUDA Universa thermostats are designed for:
• Internal temperature control of open bath tanks
• External temperature control of closed-loop applications
• Flexible bridge installation for various bath widths
• Routine and advanced laboratory applications
The modular design allows adaptation to different bath sizes and laboratory configurations.
