What is a ventilated laboratory oven?

Laboratory ovens are standard equipment found in most clinical, forensic, electronics, material processing and research laboratories. They provide uniform and precise temperature control for functions such as heating, baking, evaporating, sterilising and other industrial laboratory functions.

Laboratory oven temperatures typically range from ambient to above 300°C. They are available in gravity (natural), mechanical (forced) convection, and vacuum pump for routine heating and drying applications. For labs with temperature uniformity, stability and accuracy requirements, advanced protocol ovens are available to meet such demanding requirements.

This article will cover the specific applications and functions that require a high temperature oven, how a ventilated laboratory oven works, and what Froilabo has to offer.

What applications and industries are laboratory ovens used for?

Laboratory ovens are used in a wide range of applications in industries such as biotech, pharmaceuticals and materials manufacturing. These industries often require the process of baking, curing, annealing and drying materials of varying chemical and physical compositions. Many of these process applications are unique in their end-result and therefore require assorted types of lab ovens.
