Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced that its Heratherm heating and drying ovens are now available in 230V for the global market.
The ovens are available in three different models: General Protocol; Advanced Protocol and Advanced Protocol Security.
Each unit is available in 60-, 100- and 180-litre sizes with a choice of gravity or mechanical convection.
With a focus on energy efficiency, sample safety and ease of use, the benchtop heating and drying ovens are said to maximise capacity while optimising laboratory footprint.
Insulation and a heat-decoupled door reduce energy consumption and minimise heat transfer to the environment.
All models include an easy-to-use interface, automatic over-temperature alarm and data interface.
As a result, these ovens meet all laboratory, clinical and industrial heating and drying needs.
Heratherm General Protocol ovens are suitable for everyday heating and drying applications, operating up to 250C with good temperature stability.
A timer function enables unit operation at defined times to optimise workflow.
Where greater flexibility or temperature accuracy is required, the Heratherm Advanced Protocol ovens operate as high as 330C, while providing superior temperature uniformity.
An extended timer function offers the choice of weekly, real-time or hour-driven settings for advanced flexibility.
The program function can store up to 10 pre-defined cycles, making it easy to undertake processes involving complex temperature ramping and holding steps.
Fan speed and damper position can be controlled electronically to facilitate optimal heating, while the boost function allows rapid heating and reduces long-term energy consumption.
The Heratherm Advanced Protocol Security ovens incorporate an additional under-temperature alarm, as well as a lockable door with an alarm, making them suitable for working with valuable samples and long-term processes.
The auto-dry function shuts the oven down upon completion to maximise energy efficiency, and an optional stainless steel exterior makes it suitable for use in pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories.
