Laboratory oven is a heating device responding to accurate temperature control and temperature uniformity for laboratory work. It is standard laboratory equipment in many applications such as drying, evaporating or curing.
Laboratory ovens are tools suitable for use in various industrial, food, chemical, pharmaceutical contexts, or more generally whenever there is a need to heat and / or dry samples in the laboratory at high temperatures.
Thanks to the high maximum working temperature of 300°C, they are often also used to sterilize instruments or other objects that are contaminated or with a potential risk of pathogenic presence.
