Convection ovens

What is a laboratory oven?

A laboratory oven is an instrument designed for drying in the lab. Electrical heating elements heat the chamber from four sides, and an accurate Pt sensor measures the temperature inside. The range typically reaches up to 300 °C.

What is the difference between a laboratory oven and a laboratory incubator?

Technically, the two instruments are very similar: both use electrical heating elements on four sides to control temperature.


An incubator is optimized for stability around incubation temperatures (e.g. 37 °C). An oven targets a wider range (up to 300 °C).


Despite the technical similarity, their uses differ. Ovens are generally used for drying (glassware drying, moisture determination), while incubators serve lower-temperature applications such as microbiology.

What is the difference between a natural convection oven and a forced convection oven?

In a natural convection oven, heat transfers as warm air rises and mixes on its own. A forced convection oven adds a fan that actively circulates the air, speeding up mixing and heat transfer.


Natural convection is usually preferred for powder samples. For other sample types, forced convection is generally chosen for better temperature performance and shorter drying times.
