Thanks for the question! We have used antifungal and antibacterial reagents for our water baths in the past but now opt to clean our water baths weekly, leaving it cleaned and empty on weekends. We also utilize heat conductive metal beads instead of water for our non circulating baths. These will not culture bacteria and fungi like water does and can be easily cleaned with 70% ethanol.
Nice refresher video. Just what I needed.
What are the antibacterial and antifungal chemicals you use for water bath?
