A hot air oven is a laboratory instrument that uses dry heat to sterilize laboratory equipment and other materials. Hot air oven also known as forced air circulating oven. We can sterilize Glassware (like petri dishes, flasks, pipettes, and test tubes), Powder (like starch, zinc oxide, and sulfadiazine), Materials that contain oils, Metal equipment (like scalpels, scissors, and blades) by using hot air oven. Materials like surgical dressing, rubber items or plastic materials can not be sterilized in hot air oven.
To destroy microorganisms and bacterial spores, a hot air oven provides extremely high temperatures over several hours. Most of the medical industries use hot air ovens to sterilize laboratory instruments and material due to its simple standard operating procedure and low price. It also provides quick-drying processes.
The temperature range of a hot air oven is 50°C to 200°C . It can be controlled by using a temperature regulator. The temperature is consumed by the surface of the objects, then moves towards the core of the object, coating by coating. The whole object will ultimately attain the temperature needed for sterilization to take place. An incubator is an insulated and enclosed device used in biological laboratories. It creates an optimum environment which is required for the growth of microorganisms by providing optimum temperature.
Wamerplus is a rapid convection heating chamber with controls for precise control of temperature and airflow. The main advantage of wamerplus is it can be used either as a incubator upto 200°C or as a incubator for temperature at 37°C. The mode of selection of oven or incubator can be chosen from the touch panel. The control system is placed on the top of the heating chamber, so that they are not exposed to any spillage of liquids. The control system incorporates a touch interface and a precise PID temperature controller. All other electronic components are housed in the control panel. Wamerplus is supplied with two trays which can be placed inside the oven as per the convenience of the user at different positions in the slots provided in the walls of the chamber which can be adjusted at seven different levels. Another unique feature of wamerplus is auto temperature reduction during cooling cycle using a motorised vent valve which eliminate hot air from the chamber.
Wamerplus are constructed with inner Stainless steel chamber with round corners for easy cleaning. The system is properly insulated with ceramic wool to provide good stability of temperature inside the chamber and to avoid transfer of heat to the outer chamber. Wamerplus comes with three options based on the automation like LED seven segment PID controller, simple touch screen controller and higher end Touch controller with PC connectivity and data logging.
