Essential Factors When Buying a Lab Oven

Lab ovens are proven sterilization systems. They can decontaminate all forms of viral and biological agents or deactivate them. Lab ovens are useful as sterilization systems in the medical, laboratory, biotechnology, scientific research, and pharmaceutical industries. They’re especially useful in the medical device manufacturing industry.

Choosing the right lab oven for your application can be a challenge. But a knowledgeable oven manufacturer can help you select the correct oven. Below are some factors to keep in mind when buying an oven:

• Size/volume
• Temperature requirements
• Heating uniformity
• Airflow
• Energy consumption/efficiency
• Cleaning and maintenance
• Safety and reliability

Advantages:

• Kills all organisms that steam heat can’t, including some types of prions resistant to moist heating.
• Goes deeply into thick objects, achieving in-depth sterilization and even inside packaging.
• Works on powders, metals, and oils.
• Doesn’t corrode metals since they contain almost no moisture. Metal objects that can handle heat well can be sterilized quickly at high temperatures.
• Costs less to buy dry heat sterilizers. They’re also less complicated to use, cheaper to maintain, and minimizes operational costs.
• Involves no toxic agents in the sterilization process, so no harmful substances remain in the environment after using them.
• Cools down quickly, so you can remove items almost immediately after cycle is over.
• Needs no intervention during operation. Someone can set the oven and leave it to complete the cycle.
