Among the wide variety of equipment needed to carry out the numerous activities of a laboratory, we can highlight the use of drying and heating stoves or ovens, basic equipment that is often used quite frequently.
The laboratory oven is an instrument used to sterilize and dry glass or metal containers used in laboratory work. With its use, it is possible to eliminate all moisture from the containers regardless of their type of preparation, since it is a chamber with a cavity that has a temperature higher than room temperature.
The laboratory ovens are specially designed with an internal stainless steel chamber, with which they ensure that they can control temperatures that can range from room temperature to 300 ° C.
It is also very important to keep in mind that nowadays we can find different types of models, which can be analog or digital.
They are made with the aim of being able to carry out different thermal applications of high forced volume, making sure to provide a uniform temperature at all times throughout the entire process. These are not only used for heating or drying, but are also used for sterilization.
Some pretty cool enhancements that allow you to work more efficiently in labs. For example, they are usually quiet and efficient models, and they can be placed in different places within the work area.
These types of ovens are responsible for eliminating any remaining moisture in the instruments or glass or metal containers of the laboratories. They are useful for eliminating contaminating microorganisms (viruses, bacteria) using the heat they generate.
