The VWR 1300U is a gravity convection laboratory oven engineered for drying, sterilization, and heating across biological, medical, and microbiological disciplines. Featuring a welded steel exterior with insulated-wall construction and dual perforated stainless steel shelves, this 28.3 L capacity unit delivers precise temperature control via PID microprocessor with bi-metal overtemperature protection. The digital LED timer accommodates run times from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes, while low-watt density heaters optimize energy efficiency. An adjustable damper on the 3-inch exhaust port enhances drying performance. Ideal for biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, cell culture incubation, live-cell imaging preparation, and clinical sample processing.
