SHEL LAB
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SHEL LAB from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between water-jacket and air-jacket SHEL LAB CO2 incubators?
SHEL LAB CO2 incubators are available with either water-jacket or air-jacket designs. Water-jacket models, such as the SCO2W, SCO5W, and SCO6WE, use a water-filled jacket surrounding the chamber to provide thermal stability, with temperature uniformity as low as ±0.2°C and accuracy of +0.25°C at 37°C. Air-jacket models, including the SCO5A, SCO6AD, and SCO10A, use an air gap for insulation, offering temperature uniformity of ±0.25°C and accuracy of ±0.25°C at 37°C. Both types are non-refrigerated and operate on 110–120V AC with digital displays.
What are the temperature specifications for the SHEL LAB Basic Digital Oven: Forced Air?
The SHEL LAB Basic Digital Oven: Forced Air (SKU 13R401) has a maximum temperature of 260°C and operates on 230V AC with 1,600 W power. It provides temperature uniformity of 3°C and an accuracy tolerance of ±3.5°C. The oven has a 27.6 cu ft capacity and uses mechanical forced-air convection to circulate heat. This model is suitable for applications requiring consistent temperature distribution across a large chamber volume.
What is the capacity range of SHEL LAB CO2 incubators available from 3G Electric?
SHEL LAB CO2 incubators available from 3G Electric range in capacity from 1.5 cu ft to 5.9 cu ft. Specific models include the SCO2W at 1.5 cu ft, SCO5W at 5.1 cu ft, SCO5A at 5 cu ft, SCO6AD at 5.9 cu ft, SCO10A at 5 cu ft, and SCO6WE at 5.9 cu ft. All are non-refrigerated, feature digital displays, and operate on 110–120V AC. Minimum temperature settings are ambient +5°C. The choice of capacity depends on the required chamber volume and the number of samples or vessels to be accommodated.
What is the SHEL LAB vacuum oven model SLV223 used for?
The SHEL LAB vacuum oven model SLV223 (SKU 13R403) is used for drying, curing, and heat-treating materials under reduced pressure. It has a 1.67 cu ft capacity, a maximum temperature of 220°C, and 1,600 W power at 110–120V AC. The vacuum environment reduces the boiling point of liquids and prevents oxidation during heating. This makes it suitable for applications such as drying heat-sensitive materials, removing solvents, and curing coatings or adhesives without exposure to air.
What voltage do SHEL LAB CO2 incubators require?
The SHEL LAB CO2 incubators listed (SCO2W, SCO5W, SCO5A, SCO6AD, SCO10A, and SCO6WE) operate on 110 to 120V AC. They are non-refrigerated and include digital displays. The forced-air convection oven (SKU 13R401) operates on 230V AC, and the vacuum oven (SLV223) operates on 110 to 120V AC. Buyers should verify their facility's electrical supply matches these requirements before installation.
How does 3G Electric support the SHEL LAB product line?
3G Electric supplies SHEL LAB laboratory equipment globally, including CO2 incubators, forced-air convection ovens, and vacuum ovens. 3G Electric provides access to published specifications, such as capacity, temperature range, uniformity, and power requirements, to assist technical buyers in selecting appropriate models. The company offers quotation services and can source specific SKUs. 3G Electric does not manufacture SHEL LAB products; it distributes them as part of its industrial and laboratory equipment portfolio.
