Vacuum ovens
How does a vacuum oven work?
A vacuum oven lowers the air pressure in the chamber, which significantly reduces the boiling point of water and solvents. As a result, liquids evaporate at lower temperatures, protecting sensitive samples from damage or oxidation.
Applications
- Drying of heat-sensitive or delicate materials
- Research and quality control in pharmaceutical and biotech industries
- Drying of solvent-containing samples
- Use in material research and R&D
Industries
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories
- Chemical industry and material research
- Food and cosmetics industries
- Academic and applied research
Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of a vacuum oven compared to a standard drying oven?
A vacuum oven dries samples at lower temperatures without oxidation, preserving sensitive or volatile substances.
What is the difference between Vacucell ECO and EVO?
ECO models are simple, energy-efficient and user-friendly. EVO models provide extended programming, logging and validation features.
Are vacuum ovens suitable for solvent-containing samples?
Yes, vacuum ovens are particularly suitable for samples containing solvents, as evaporation occurs at lower temperatures under safe conditions.

Vacuum ovens, also known as vacuum drying ovens, use reduced pressure to dry samples without oxidation or thermal damage. This makes them ideal for heat-sensitive or delicate materials not suitable for standard drying processes. Within the MMM Medcenter range, the Vacucell ECO/EVO series represents this specialized technology.
