Drying/Oven Incubators

Drying oven incubators are specialized laboratory equipment used to dry and heat materials. They are typically used in a variety of applications, such as:

Drying of wet samples: Drying ovens are used to remove moisture from biological samples, such as plant samples or bacterial cultures, to preserve them for long-term storage or further analysis.

Baking or curing of materials: Drying ovens are used to bake or cure various materials, such as ceramics, glass, or electronics.

Sterilization: Drying ovens are also used in sterilization of laboratory equipment, such as glassware and pipettes.

These ovens are usually designed to have a temperature range between ambient and 260C, the temperature range can go higher depending on the type of the oven. Some drying ovens have built-in incubation capabilities, which allow them to maintain a specific temperature range, and are often used in situations where samples need to be dried and then incubated at a specific temperature.

Some common types of drying oven incubators include benchtop ovens, forced-air convection ovens, and vacuum ovens, with variations to meet various applications, like vacuum drying ovens, gravity convection ovens, etc.
