Laboratory Ovens and Incubators

Ovens are designed for high-temperature applications (200-350°C) and typically use forced ventilation to evenly distribute heat, ideal for drying, annealing, and intensive thermal testing. Incubators operate at lower temperatures (ambient +5°C to 100°C) with natural ventilation to avoid turbulence, perfect for microbiological cultures, gentle heating, and conditioning sensitive samples

FV indicates Forced Ventilation (active airflow for uniform heat distribution), NV indicates Natural Ventilation (no fan, silent operation), FVC indicates Forced Ventilation with a completely stainless steel chamber. Models with the NL abbreviation indicate the absence of a viewing window on the door

Yes, in models with forced ventilation, the system can be configured as adjustable or constant based on the customer's specific needs. Adjustable ventilation allows the airflow to be adapted to the characteristics of the samples and the type of thermal process being performed. Contact FDM to discuss the ideal configuration

For thermal sterilization of glassware, ovens with temperatures up to 200-300°C are ideal, such as the O series models with forced ventilation. If, however, simple pre-use heating at more moderate temperatures is required, the INC series incubators are more than adequate and operate more quietly and gently

The choice of volume depends on the quantity and size of the samples to be processed simultaneously. For laboratories with small volumes or single-sample testing, the 20-60L models are ideal. For intensive use or large samples, the 120-420L models offer greater capacity. Also consider the available space in the laboratory and the possibility of future use

Yes, FDM ovens and incubators are designed to ensure repeatable performance and compliance with standardized laboratory protocols. For applications requiring specific certifications or validations according to specific regulations (e.g., GDP/GMP for the pharmaceutical industry), the instruments can be configured with customized documentation and qualifications. Consult our technical service to assess compliance with your reference standards

FDM ovens and incubators are designed to require minimal maintenance thanks to their robust construction and high-quality components. Regular cleaning of the internal stainless steel chamber, verification of the proper functioning of the control and alarm systems, and annual inspections by specialized technicians are recommended to ensure calibration and optimal performance over time

Yes, in addition to the standard 230V/50-60Hz power supply, FDM can supply ovens and incubators configured for different voltages upon request, adapting to the power supply standards of your country or laboratory. Please specify your requirements when ordering to ensure the instrument is equipped with the correct power supply
