Laboratory Drying Oven Buying Guide
Compare gravity, forced-air, and vacuum or gas-protection drying ovens by the airflow, temperature and atmosphere your sample needs.
Where to start
Choose the oven configuration by what the sample can tolerate. Compare gravity and forced-air cabinets for atmospheric drying. Look at the separate vacuum or gas-protection listing when the method explicitly calls for that environment.
Gravity and forced-air models
-
DO200 gravity drying oven
The gravity series table lists 56, 96, 140 and 240 L chamber volumes. Check the chamber dimensions and shelf count for the number of trays you need.
-
DO250 forced-air drying oven
The DO250 forced-air series lists 30, 80, 140 and 240 L chambers. Compare the usable shelf dimensions and installed depth along with nominal volume.
-
DO300 forced-air drying oven
The DO300 forced-air series also lists 30, 80, 140 and 240 L chambers. Verify the model’s temperature rating and installation dimensions when comparing it with DO250.
Vacuum or gas-protection configuration
-
VO200 vacuum or gas-protection drying oven
The VO200 table lists 24, 50, 90, 125 and 216 L chambers. Confirm the intended vacuum or gas configuration and compatible connections for the selected cabinet.
What to include in your quote request
- Identify the sample and trays, the maximum load, the desired chamber temperature and time, and whether direct airflow is acceptable.
- Give the largest sample or fixture dimensions. Ask for usable shelf dimensions, clearances and temperature data at the intended setpoint and loading.
- For vacuum or gas-protection work, give the required atmosphere and request compatible connections, limits and documentation for the exact configuration.
