Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SHEL LAB from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of the SHEL LAB SVAC1E vacuum oven?
The SHEL LAB SVAC1E vacuum oven has a 0.56 cubic foot capacity, a maximum temperature of 210°C, and a power rating of 1,110 watts. It operates on 110-120V AC and features a temperature uniformity of ±9°C at 120°C. This model is suitable for drying heat-sensitive materials and vacuum-assisted processes.
How does the SHEL LAB SCO6AD CO2 incubator maintain temperature uniformity?
The SHEL LAB SCO6AD CO2 incubator uses an air-jacket design with forced-air circulation to achieve a temperature uniformity of ±0.25°C. It has a 5.9 cubic foot capacity, a digital display, and operates on 110-120V AC. This design minimizes temperature gradients, making it suitable for cell culture applications.
What is the difference between SHEL LAB water-jacket and air-jacket CO2 incubators?
SHEL LAB water-jacket CO2 incubators, like the SCO5W, use a water-filled jacket around the chamber to provide thermal mass and temperature stability, with uniformity of ±0.2°C. Air-jacket models, like the SCO6AD, use forced-air circulation for faster recovery and uniformity of ±0.25°C. Water-jacket designs offer better temperature retention during power outages, while air-jacket models are lighter and easier to maintain.
What voltage options are available for SHEL LAB vacuum ovens?
SHEL LAB vacuum ovens are available in 110-120V AC (e.g., SVAC1E, SVAC4) and 220-240V AC (e.g., SVAC2E-2) configurations. The voltage affects power output and compatibility with local electrical systems. For example, the SVAC2E-2 operates at 220-240V AC with a 3,200-watt rating, while the SVAC1E uses 110-120V AC at 1,110 watts.
What is the maximum temperature range for SHEL LAB mechanical forced-air convection ovens?
SHEL LAB mechanical forced-air convection ovens, such as the SMO5, have a maximum temperature of 306°C. Other models like the SLF1423-H and SMO28-2 reach up to 260°C. These ovens provide temperature uniformity within 1.8°C to 3°C, depending on the model, and are suitable for drying, baking, and heat treatment processes.
Can SHEL LAB equipment be used for industrial applications beyond laboratory settings?
Yes, SHEL LAB equipment is used in industrial applications such as material testing, component drying, and sterilization. For example, vacuum ovens like the SVAC4 (4.5 cu ft, 220°C) are used for degassing and moisture removal in electronics manufacturing. Forced-air ovens like the SMO28-2 (27.6 cu ft, 260°C) are suitable for batch processing in production environments.
