Heating, drying & cooling

Choose by what you need to do. A drying oven dries glassware, samples and powders, or carries out dry-heat sterilisation, at temperatures well above room temperature. An incubator keeps a stable, moderate temperature for hours or days, which cultures and enzyme tests need. A hotplate or heating block heats a liquid in a beaker, flask or tube directly; if you also need to stir, look at magnetic stirrers with heating. Unsure? Describe your application: sales@luminixhealth.com.

Check three figures on the product sheet: the maximum temperature, the lowest temperature the unit can hold, and the uniformity across the chamber or plate. Many ovens and incubators only work above room temperature, so they cannot cool. If you need to work at or below room temperature, choose a refrigerated incubator or a cooling bath from circulators, chillers and thermostats. Leave a margin: a unit that runs constantly at its maximum ages faster. For validated processes, also ask for the temperature-uniformity data: sales@luminixhealth.com.

Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
