This oven is for curing plastics at low temperatures (35 - 60°C). A vacuum of 15- 20 mmHg can be applied if needed using house vacuum.

The oven is part of the PDMS casting station which includes Sylgard 184, low-temperature vacuum ovens and a high-temperature oven (up to 200 C), a vacuum jar, scale and a plasma generator for casting &assembing PDMS-based fluidic devices. 

Capabilities

Heating up to 60°C with or without a vacuum.

Applications
  • Curing PDMS
  • Outgassing 3D-printed devices
