This bench-top vacuum oven from VWR combines a stainless-steel chamber and a tempered-glass door for visual monitoring of up to three removable wire-mesh shelves. An integrated analog vacuum regulator and gauge maintain pressures down to ~0.1 Torr (requires external rotary-vane pump), while the PID temperature controller heats from ambient to 200 °C with ±0.5 °C uniformity. A front-mounted vacuum port, safety relief valve and digital timer make it ideal for solvent drying, heat-curing polymers, moisture analysis and desiccation of temperature-sensitive samples under reduced pressure.
