In instructions for preparing text solution:

A los 120 minutos de funcionamiento, sacar los cestillos de los vasos dejándolos en la posición superior del aparato de V.D. y cambiar la solución de ácido clorhídrico (HCl) 0,1M de los vasos por 900 ml de tampón fosfato pH 6,8 a 37ºC  0,5ºC, previamente precalentado mediante un fuera borda a esta temperatura.

I suppose fuera borda and fuera de borda are the same.

external (heater)
Explanation:
This would be shorthand for 'calefactor fuera-borda', and external heater, as opposed to a heating coil placed within the solution. Web citation given includes 'calefactor fuera-borda' in a list of laboratory apparatus.
'Fuera borda' is also used for 'outboard motor', as in motorboats.

It is actually a technique used to heat things in a laboratory... there are many ways to do that in a lab but they appear to used that technique... It may be translated as 'Out of bounds' or 'out of it embroiders'. Hope that helps.
