Ehret STE 1610/2/100 Sterilising Oven

• Sterilisation of laboratory glassware and instruments.
• Heat treatment of temperature-stable materials in research and development.
• Drying and sterilising components in pharmaceutical production.
• Depyrogenation of vials and containers for sterile filling processes.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, internal volumes commonly range from 100 to 500 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Temperature range

Sterilising ovens generally operate up to 250-300°C, with some models capable of higher temperatures for depyrogenation.

Heating method

Forced air convection is commonly used to ensure uniform temperature distribution within the chamber.

Construction material

The internal chamber is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Temperature control

Advanced PID controllers are commonly found, offering precise temperature regulation and programming capabilities.

• What is the primary difference between a sterilising oven and a standard laboratory oven?

  Sterilising ovens are designed to meet specific regulatory requirements for sterilisation and depyrogenation, often featuring enhanced temperature uniformity, filtration, and validation capabilities compared to standard laboratory ovens.

• Can this oven be used for drying as well as sterilising?

• What maintenance is typically required for a sterilising oven?

• Are there specific safety considerations when operating a high-temperature sterilising oven?

• What certifications might be relevant for a sterilising oven in a regulated industry?

Ovens and sterilizing ovens hold strong reputations for reliability in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent temperature control. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify heating element condition, temperature calibration accuracy, and chamber integrity. Common strengths include durability across extended operational lifespans and cost savings versus new models. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with documented maintenance histories. Thermal uniformity and energy efficiency remain key purchasing considerations.
