What is a Laboratory Oven?
A laboratory oven or drying oven is an advanced device designed to remove moisture from various samples in laboratories. By generating heat and, in some models, utilizing a fan, it introduces dry, fresh air into the chamber while simultaneously expelling moisture through specialized vents. This process enables rapid sample drying while preventing physical and chemical alterations.
Laboratory ovens are essential equipment across various laboratory settings, from simple glassware drying to complex applications requiring precise temperature control. These devices must ensure high-temperature accuracy and reproducibility of results for users.
Types of Laboratory Ovens Based on Air Circulation
Laboratory ovens can be classified into two main categories:
Gravity Convection Ovens
In gravity convection ovens, temperature distribution occurs naturally as warm air rises. These ovens do not include a fan for forced air circulation. The key advantage of this type is the minimal airflow, making it suitable for drying applications.
Mechanical Convection Ovens
Mechanical convection or fan-assisted ovens continuously circulate air within the chamber, ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the device. This feature facilitates faster drying and allows the oven to quickly regain its set temperature after door openings.
Applications of Laboratory Ovens
Laboratory ovens are widely used in various fields, including chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, industrial, food, and pharmaceutical laboratories. Common applications include:
- Drying laboratory samples: Suitable for drying solid filters, laboratory tubes, powders, and more.
- Material strength testing: Used to assess the durability of materials like concrete, cement, and bitumen at specific temperatures.
- Measuring physical and chemical properties: Essential for solubility testing, absorption, leakage, tensile strength, hardness, and other material assessments.
Key Components of a Laboratory Oven
Laboratory ovens generally consist of the following components:
- Body: Made of stainless steel with thermal insulation.
- Door: Either glass or steel, sometimes equipped with a lock.
- Heating System: Electric heating elements.
- Fan: Ensures uniform heat distribution.
- Temperature Control System: High-precision temperature regulation.
- Temperature Sensors and Thermostats: For temperature monitoring and adjustments.
Smart Laboratory Ovens

Types of Laboratory Ovens
Laboratory ovens come in various models, including:
- Vacuum Ovens: Designed for moisture removal under vacuum conditions.
- Drying Ovens: Provide uniform heat distribution for sample drying.
- Sterilization Ovens: High-temperature sterilization for tools and equipment.
- Industrial Ovens: Built for higher temperature ranges and heavy-duty applications.
These ovens cater to diverse laboratory and industrial needs, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and optimal performance.
How Laboratory Ovens Work
A laboratory oven typically features an insulated chamber heated by electric heating elements. Temperature is regulated using a precision controller, ensuring the correct conditions for different laboratory processes.
Technical Specifications of Laboratory Ovens
Temperature Range
- Minimum oven temperature is usually 50°C or 15°C above ambient temperature.
- Most ovens operate above 80°C, while lower-temperature applications use incubators.
Maximum Temperature
- Standard models range between 200–300°C.
- Industrial models can reach 500°C or higher.
Heating Time
- Indicates the time required to reach the set temperature from ambient conditions.
Temperature Recovery Time
- The duration needed to restore set temperature after opening the oven door.
Air Exchange Rate
- Represents the amount of fresh air entering and leaving the oven chamber, affecting sample drying efficiency.
Safety Features: Secondary Controller & Thermostat
To prevent heating element failures or temperature surges, laboratory ovens include a secondary safety controller or thermostat, which acts as a thermal fuse in case of malfunctions.
Laboratory Oven Standards
Manufacturers must adhere to global safety and quality standards, including:
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485
- CE, UL, CSA Certifications
These certifications ensure that ovens meet safety, quality, and environmental requirements.
Difference Between Laboratory Ovens and Incubators
Laboratory ovens are designed for high-temperature drying and evaporation, whereas incubators maintain lower, stable temperatures for biological and chemical processes.
Air Circulation in Laboratory Ovens
Laboratory ovens come in fan-assisted and non-fan models. Fan-assisted models provide more uniform heating, while triple-walled designs with HCT technology enhance airflow efficiency.
Key Considerations When Buying a Laboratory Oven
When purchasing a laboratory oven, consider:
- Size: Ensure it fits within your laboratory space.
- Temperature Range: Verify its compatibility with your application needs.
- Safety & Reliability: Choose models with secondary controllers and thermal cutoffs.
These factors help select an oven that ensures optimal performance, accuracy, and safety.
Laboratory Oven Maintenance & Cleaning
Proper maintenance extends oven lifespan and ensures accuracy. Essential practices include:
- Placement in a stable environment: Protects against temperature fluctuations and vibrations.
- Regular Cleaning: Use appropriate non-corrosive cleaning agents.
- Battery Maintenance: FG ovens include data loggers to record temperature during power outages.
- Calibration: Regular calibration ensures precise temperature readings and reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
According to FG standards and the world’s valid standards, the best distance from the walls, floor and ceiling of the oven is 10% of the length of the same side. For example, if the width of the device is 40 cm, 10% of it means 4 cm on each side (left and right) and if the depth of the device is 50 cm, 10% of it means 5 cm from the front and back, the distance from the walls of the device should be considered for loading.
Yes, with the help of the HCT technology used in the oven, even in the full load mode of the device (according to the principles of loading), you will have full uniformity.
The oven device reaches the set point temperature as quickly as possible and the temperature gradient adjustment is to prolong the time for the chamber temperature to reach the set point temperature, as a result, the time for the chamber temperature to reach the set point temperature cannot be made faster.
Using a safety thermostat in FG devices that works like a fuse and turns off the oven device if the temperature rises above the set point.
It always takes time for the internal chamber temperature to reach the set point. The Smart timer is activated when the temperature reaches the set point.
The cost of changing the color of devices is very high, so it is not cost-effective to do this.
Yes, based on the customer’s order, this feature is available for an additional fee.
The temperature range that is written about ovens, they usually have the ability to control in that range, but they are not very accurate at these temperatures or require changes in the settings of the device. Therefore, for temperatures lower than 80 degrees, usually the best option is an incubator.
No, the mechanism of the air release valve is the maximum exit of vapors and gases created in the chamber. But the circulator fan is used to accelerate the air circulation inside the chamber.
No, if you need more trays in the oven, you can use more space just by buying a tray, and there is no need to install rails or other changes in the device.
Yes, if needed, you can move the trays according to the different drawers installed in the oven.
Yes, a special mechanism has been considered for the air discharge process and the entry of fresh air into the oven chamber, which causes the maximum discharge of moisture and gases created in the chamber.
