18? LMS? Issue 6 | 2013 Incubators & Ovens Scientific Ovens S cientific ovens are available with two temperature control options, in five different capacities. Every unit is fitted with an oven temperature safety control. The mild steel exterior of the unit is epoxy powder-coated light grey and the functional, modern appearance will complement any laboratory. Stainless steel outer bodies are available on request. Each unit is provided with t wo chrome-plated steel wire, non-tip shelves. Their sturdy design means that they are capable of supporting the product load at elevated temperatures and their wire construction does not impair air flow. All controls are readily accessible and only the highest-quality components are selected. The door construction, coupled with a robust handle and silicon gasket, ensures a perfect long self-seal. The use of a rear vent enables all units to be stackable, a space saving bonus in today’s modern laboratory. Scientific ovens and incubators are all supplied with a unique forced draught airflow system, utilising a maintenance-free Better Temperature Uniformity in Carbolite Ovens fan and motor. The computer-designed rear baffle plate ensures a uniform temperature distribution within the heated chamber, which also contributes to faster drying times, in the case of ovens. All Scientific ovens and incubators are manufactured with a grade 304 stainless steel interior with rounded corners to ensure cleanliness, ease of cleaning and arbolite offers a range of ovens that are ideal for procedures requiring higher temperatures and having the ability to maintain a stable temperature of around 0.5°C. Their lab high temperature (LHT) ovens are available with maximum operating temperatures of 400°C, 500°C and 600°C. They are available in three standard sizes of 30, 60 and 120l capacities housed in corrosion-resistant stainless steel chambers. A PID controller is fitted to ensure temperature stability and the heavy-duty convection fan-assisted air circulation gives temperature uniformity better than ±5°C. All the models are capable of continuous operation at maximum temperature and have RS232/RS485 communication abilities. Expect rapid heating up and cooling down times, and with the double skin construction, the LHT ovens will have a cool outer casing at all times. These ovens are suitable for removing organic contamination from glass and metal components, curing, heat shrinkage and testing of electronics materials. The LHT ovens feature: • A heavy-duty convection fan for good uniformity of ±5°C • Ramp function with ±0.5°C stability and advanced programmable control options • Corrosion-resistant and polished stainless steel interior • Two multi-position shelves • A range of accessories suitable for moisture extraction or curing. ?

The full range of Scientific Equipment is now available from Instrulab. ? ettler Toledo’s line of Excellence moisture analysers deliver outstanding value, offering high-speed testing combined with ruggedness and ease of use for reliable operation. The hanging weighing pan provides good measurement performance with highly reliable results in the shortest time. The One Click Moisture™ graphical user interface enables smooth and fast operation, featuring real-time drying curves and control charts. The rugged design and the new easy-cleaning concept ensure a long service life. When moisture content determines productivity, the HS153 is the instrument of choice. It features advanced halogen technology, the key to fast heating and precise temperature control. Combined with a high-performance MonoBloc weighing cell, this analyser ensures accurate results required for precise control of moisture content in production. Production of food, chemicals and many other goods require regular sample testing for full process control. The HX204 halogen moisture analyser is designed to meet the strict demands of highly regulated industries, offering a capacity of 200g and a resolution of 0.1mg to provide excellent measurement performance. Reliable results are ensured through internal calibration, automatic level monitoring and heating module calibration at the operating temperature. SmartCal is an innovative, granular reference substance to check moisture analysers and reliably verify whether the instrument is working within specification. Its high sensitivity detects adverse influences from ambient conditions and inaccurate heating or weighing devices. SmartCal is now available in certified or non-certified sets. ?
