Compact and portable, the CB transports easily to the field, or from bench to bench in a science classroom. The CB is powered by battery or an optional AC adapter. A sealed keypad and one-piece housing make the CB simple to clean, and help protect internal components from dirt and spills. The grade 304 stainless steel pan can be wiped down quickly and accommodates either single items or bulk powders.
