Precision and Safety for Laboratory ProfessionalsNACAX Laboratory Bench Top Ovens combine advanced microprocessor-based PID control with reliable safety measures, such as over-temperature protection and door locks. The double-walled insulated chamber and heat-resistant glass window enhance thermal retention and operator safety.
Optimal Performance and EfficiencyEquipped with a nickel-chromium heating element and fan-assisted forced air, this oven ensures quick recovery times and uniform temperature distribution. The energy-efficient design, coupled with a programmable digital timer (up to 999 minutes), provides flexibility for diverse laboratory protocols.
FAQs of NACAX - Laboratory Bench Top Ovens:
Q: How does the forced air circulation improve the ovens performance?
A: Forced air circulation, driven by an internal fan, distributes heat uniformly across all trays, enabling consistent temperature and efficient drying, heating, or sterilization of samples throughout the 45-liter chamber.
Q: What safety features are included in the NACAX-LB45 oven?
A: Key safety features include over-temperature protection, a secure door lock, a double-walled insulated door to prevent heat loss, and a heat-resistant glass viewing window for safe monitoring during operation.
Q: When should I use the programmable digital timer function?
A: The programmable digital timer is ideal for conducting time-sensitive experiments and processes, allowing you to set precise heating durations up to 999 minutes for optimal results and reproducibility.
Q: Where can the NACAX Bench Top Oven be installed in the laboratory?
A: This oven is designed for bench top mounting, making it suitable for laboratory workspaces with limited floor area. Its compact footprint (500 x 450 x 400 mm) ensures easy placement alongside other equipment.
Q: What maintenance processes should be followed for peak performance?
A: Regularly clean the stainless-steel inner chamber and trays, check that the door seal is intact, and avoid overloading. Professional servicing of core components like the heater, thermostat, and sensor is recommended periodically.
Q: What are the benefits of using stainless steel for trays and the chamber?
A: Stainless steel resists corrosion, simplifies cleaning, maintains structural integrity under high temperatures, and prevents sample contamination, ensuring reliability for repeated laboratory use.
