Controlled thermal processing is essential for sterilization, glass drying, and high-temperature materials testing. Professional heating and drying incubators are engineered to provide precise temperature uniformity and rapid heat-up times for a variety of laboratory applications. As a vital component of our heating and cooling technology ecosystem, these units provide the foundational thermal stability required for the specialized processes found in our heating range, ensuring consistent results across long-term research applications.
Why Choose Professional Heating and Drying Incubators?
Our curated collection of universal cabinets is designed for thermal efficiency and operational safety:
- Forced vs. Natural Convection: We stock the LLG Unioven 110 (110 L) with forced convection for rapid drying, alongside Memmert UN series units like the UN30 (32 L), UN75 (74 L), and UN110 (108 L) which utilize natural convection for sensitive samples.
- High-Temperature Capabilities: Utilize the IKA Drying Oven 125 Control, reaching temperatures up to +300°C, or the Memmert UN series which maintains precision control from +5°C to +300°C.
- Enhanced Sample Visibility: Explore specialized accessories such as the Memmert Full-Sight Glass Door for UN/UF/SN/SF series models, allowing for visual monitoring without disrupting the internal climate.
- Scalable Capacities: From compact 32-litre benchtop units to high-volume industrial cabinets, our range accommodates diverse throughput and sample size requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between the Memmert UN and UF series?
The UN series (Universal Incubator) typically utilizes natural convection, which is ideal for drying powders or light samples, while the UF series (Universal Fan) uses forced air circulation for faster drying and better uniformity.
2. Can I use the Memmert UN30 for sterilization?
Yes, the Memmert UN series is designed as a universal cabinet capable of reaching +300°C, making it suitable for hot-air sterilization of glassware and metal instruments.
3. Does the LLG Unioven 110 include a power plug?
Yes, the LLG Unioven 110 models we stock typically include the necessary UK or EU power plugs for immediate laboratory integration.
4. Are glass doors available for all Memmert universal cabinets?
Full-sight glass doors are available as specialized accessories for many Memmert models, including the SNSF 30 and larger units like the UN/UF 750/1060 series.
