The Changing Face of Ratek - A Pictorial
Ratek have some fantastic new products in the pipeline, along with a new look and new logo to better reflect the next generation. Whilst we update our range, we thought it fitting to take a look back at some Ratek products from times gone past. Some of them will look familiar, and some of them may still be used every day in your lab.
Celebrate the history of Ratek as we look back over more than 30 years of products including some early designs and product concepts which have been improved with every generation. We hope you enjoy it.

Coolers | Immersion | Recirculating
The range of Ratek cooling products assist in the cooling of liquids below that of ambient room temperature as well as rapidly cooling liquids in waterbaths if required. When combining a Dip cooler in a waterbath or tank with a Ratek Thermoregulator/Immersion Heater a regulated temperature below ambient (or Sub-Zero) can be achieved. |
|
 |
Thermoregulators/Immersion Heaters | Precision | Circulating | Pumping
A range of Ratek Thermoregulators (also known as Immersion Thermostats or Immersion Circulators) is available to suit a wide range of laboratory and food industry (Sous Vide) applications. Options such as analog or digital control, heating capacity and water circulation mean that there is a Ratek unit to suit most needs. |
|
 |
Waterbaths | Heated | Un-heated | Shaking | Tanks
Ratek make a large range of waterbaths that are heated, unheated/insulated and shaking in a variety of standard and custom sizes. The range of Ratek waterbaths are designed to suit a variety of procedures including warming reagents, sample thawing, bacteriological examinations, coliform determinations, microbiological assays and a wide variety of other laboratory procedures. |
|
 |
Warming Tray / Heating Plate
The Ratek warming tray is ideal for applications such as warming microscope slides, maintaining the temperature of samples (such as sperm and follicular fluids) and general heating of flasks, containers and even laboratory instruments within a temperature range of 30°C to 80°C (min. 5°C above ambient). |
