SciTek SalvisLab Vacucenter vacuum drying ovens

SalvisLab Vacucenter is a range of vacuum drying ovens for gentle, yet fast drying of oxidation-sensitive or thermally instable products. Applications include drying of biological samples, soil samples, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food samples; even technical products such as electronic or vacuum technology components. Temperature control is possible from ambient to 200°C with 0.2°C accuracy. Vacuum levels down to 1 mbar are easily achievable.

The ovens have a range of safety features. They include a pressure safety system with door safety catch and double-glazed safety glass in the door. Heating without vacuum can be deactivated for further sample and user protection. All heaters are automatically switched off when the oven door is opened.

All internal oven surfaces are made out of high-grade stainless steel, which is highly corrosion resistant and easy to clean. The shelves are anodised aluminium for best possible heat transfer.

The integrated process controller leads even inexperienced users through the simple steps of setting the required process parameters. Programming of complex ramps is also possible.

The ovens use PID and fuzzy logic to control temperature, time and optional vacuum levels. 50 programs with up to 15 steps and 999 minutes process time can be stored. A bidirectional RS232C interface allows data logging. The optional STS software is CRF 22 Part 11 compliant to ensure GLP, GMP and FDA/TGA conformity.

Two models are available, with square box chambers of 20 and 50 L volume.
