As
the first manufacturer worldwide, Memmert has developed a cooled vacuum
oven. Low temperature vacuum drying on a laboratory scale is applied
among other things during the drying of bacteria and starter cultures or
in the simulation of storage conditions during long distance flights.
The cooled vacuum oven VO 200cool with its interior volume
of 29 litres has a temperature range of +5 °C to +90 °. For cooling purposes, a
compact, energy-saving and extremely precise Peltier cooling unit was
integrated. This way, the Memmert cooled vacuum oven achieves a surface
temperature distribution over its entire temperature range with a deviation of
max. +/-1 K.
Gentle low temperature vacuum drying and storage of
micro-organisms or active pharmaceutical components is particularly applied in
the food and pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to this process, unstable
substances can be dried at moderate temperatures above zero without causing too
much damage to the cell structure. Additionally, the cooled vacuum oven VOcool
from Memmert can be deployed to easily and cost-effectively simulate storage
and transport of pharmaceutical products during intercontinental flights.
