Sheldon Manufacturing announced today that its line of Lab Armor beads has been issued a patent in the USA.

Lab Armor Beads are dry, thermal metallic beads designed to replace water in any standard depth, non-circulating and non-shaking lab water bath. This not only saves resources but creates a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Lab Armor’s patent covers the thermal control systems which control the temperature of a sample in a vessel where a) a thermal bath having a tub and a thermal source, and b) thermally-conductive media comprising of oblong pellets within said tub in thermal communication with said thermal source.

This will be the fourth patent held by Lab Armor beads with current patents in Canada, Australia, and Europe.

The Chill Bucket is a revolutionary laboratory ice bucket that works without ice. It chills while keeping everything dry and in place, so you no longer have to worry about water-borne contamination or losing track of your samples.

Lab Armor recently partnered with the Laboratory Products Association (LPA), in conjunction with their upcoming Annual Meeting in Scottsdale, to help the Arizona Science Center outfit their learning laboratories. Lab Armor donated a 14L Bead Bath to the Center to help with their education center.

The Arizona Science Center opened in 1980 and it’s mission is to inspire, educate, and entertain people of all ages about science, with hands-on educational workshops and more than 300 exhibits at its nearly 150,000 square-foot facility located in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Laboratory Products Association member companies are manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of lab products and services such as glass and plasticware, chemicals, equipment and supplies used in scientific research and applied science and life science worldwide.

Members attending this year’s LPA Meeting in Scotsdale, Arizona have donated more that $70,000 in financial contributions and laboratory equipment.
