Using conventional lift off lids when removed from a water bath, condensation runs all over your bench top, a mess to clean up. Where do you put the lid once removed?
Hinged lids have a number of benefits in use over lift off lids. They simply hinge open 90° and stay open and any condensation collects in the lid, samples/work can be easily removed or placed in water bath. Close the lid and all the collected condensation runs into rear of the water bath. No mess. The hinge lid can be removed easily and quickly for cleaning or access.
