Yes, even laboratories have to use ovens from time to time. Thermal convection is the main application for these devices. There are a number of different applications for which a laboratory oven might be used. For example, it could be for sterlization, drying and die-boding functions. These ovens are not just used in the lab, but in a variety of different environments. For example, they have been used widely in the transportation and technology based industries for varying applications.

There are a number of different types of laboratory oven that you could make use of. For example, you can have the natural convection type ovens or a standard horizontal standing airflow model. Ovens of this type can reach a 340 degree temperature quite quickly. This is the level of heat for the convection type oven and the only real difference is the much faster way in which it can reach that level of heat.

What may come as a surprise to hear is that drying supplies is now now one of the most common uses for the lab oven. For example, you need to fully sterlize products like microplates and glass test tubes if you want to use them again in your lab operation. An excellent way to ensure that these products are sterlized is to subject them to extremely high levels of heat? Of course, other products like the laboratory autoclave can be used for similar applications, but they are often used when very high temperatures and pressures are required

Aside from the different energy delivery methods, there are two different types of oven that you should be aware of, and they are the following:

Benchtop Oven: These ovens can be set on the counter like a conventional microwave oven. These are the most commonly used and possibly the most useful.

Vertical format oven: For larger sample types but can still save space. Space and application will be two determining factors in the type of oven you eventually choose to purchase. Many laboratory users will opt for both types or run a series of the same product.

A popular laboratory oven is the gravity convection variety. The energy rating for these products is excellent, as is the way they maintain the right temperature levels. They are lightweight, yet sturdy and can range considerably in size. These can be used for many applications and in a variety of laboratories. Some of these products with fan assisted functionality can hold over 800 litres and reach huge temperatures of 300 degrees centigrade and above. These will heat up very quickly and possibly include many additional features like moisture extraction, curing and stoving. Of course, before you make a decision on purchasing a product, you’ll want to shop around and make sure that the product you are looking at is going to fit into the application. There may be rental opportunities on offer here too, so don’t overlook these when searching for a lab oven.

There are ovens these days that have very good looking designs. They can be scratch resistant, as well as having smooth or hammer type paint finishes. Some models on the market will also include steel interiors that have been aluminized to offer corrosive resistant properties.

There are quite a few different accessories available for your laboratory oven. For example, you could purchase a set of test tube holders or microplate trays. There are many different types of laboratory equipment and it is very important to ensure that any appropriate products fits into the oven. You’ll need to purchase additional accessories and other products to go with your oven so don’t think it all stops when you have bought the main unit.

These can be on the expensive side but it often pays to buy used. Even though you may not have thought of purchasing products that have been used, this may just be a good option until you want to buy brand new products with a higher price tag. That being said, a manufacturer will offer a complete guarantee and warranty with a new product so you need to take this into account before purchasing.
