A water bath is a lab device used for incubating samples at a constant temperature over time, utilizing heated water in a mild steel or stainless steel container. It can be set to digital or analog controls and is used for warming reagents, melting substrates, and incubating cell cultures. Water baths are also ideal for heating flammable chemicals safely, as they lack an open flame. For temperatures above 100 °C, alternative methods like oil, silicone, or sand baths are used
