What is the temperature of an ice bath


2025-03-18

The temperature of an ice bath is usually 0 ℃. According to the definition in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the temperature range for cold water (ice bath) is 2 to 10 ℃, while ice bath specifically refers to 0 ℃.

Ice baths are commonly used in laboratories for experimental operations that require low-temperature environments, such as reactions and experimental processing steps carried out below room temperature. Ice bath can be prepared by using a mixture of crushed ice and salt, and the cooling effect can be adjusted by changing the concentration of the salt solution. The temperature range that can usually be maintained is between 0 and -51 ℃. In addition, ice baths can also be achieved through other methods, such as using coolants such as dry ice or liquid nitrogen.
