FAQs of Vacuum Oven:
Q: How does the vacuum oven achieve high levels of vacuum for drying and sterilizing samples?
A: The vacuum oven employs an integrated vacuum pump capable of reaching up to 29.9" Hg, which effectively lowers the boiling point of substances, allowing gentle drying or sterilization at controlled temperatures without oxidation or sample degradation.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of the vacuum oven and how do they benefit laboratory usage?
A: The chamber is constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel, paired with a powder-coated exterior. This design ensures corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and maintains optimal hygieneparticularly important for sterile laboratory environments.
Q: When should I use the vacuum oven instead of a conventional drying oven?
A: The vacuum oven is preferred when drying, heating, or sterilizing temperature-sensitive materials that might degrade or oxidize in standard atmospheric conditions. Its vacuum environment protects sample integrity and is essential for applications in research, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Q: Where can this vacuum oven be installed, and what are its dimensions?
A: The VO-50 model is suitable for laboratory installations in research institutions, industrial settings, and pharmaceutical labs. Its compact dimensions of 500 x 400 x 400 mm and robust design allow placement on laboratory benches or dedicated stands.
Q: What is the process for monitoring temperature and vacuum levels during operation?
A: Temperature and vacuum levels are monitored using the analog display and controls. The mechanical thermostat enables precise temperature adjustment, while the viewing window and measurement range of 0760 mmHg allow easy visual and instrument-based checks throughout the process.
Q: How do the safety features improve laboratory workflow and user protection?
A: The vacuum oven is equipped with over-temperature protection and a door interlock, both of which minimize the risk of accidental overheating and unauthorized access during operation. These features ensure consistency in results while safeguarding users.
