GSM 11/8: a Laboratory Oven Designed for Sensitive Analyses
The Carbolite GSM 11/8 is a specialised laboratory oven designed for medical and scientific procedures requiring a high degree of precision. With a maximum temperature of 1100°C and a continuous operating temperature of 1000°C, it meets the needs of clinical analysis and medical research laboratories. It plays a particularly crucial role in applications where conventional materials such as alumina and silica could alter samples. Thanks to a chamber made of fused quartz, the GSM 11/8 eliminates this risk and delivers reliable results in calcination, thermal sterilisation and biological and chemical sample preparation processes.
A Design Suited to Corrosive Environments
The GSM 11/8 is unique in its ability to effectively contain aggressive and corrosive vapours. Laboratories working with substances such as H₂SO₄, HNO₃ or HCl therefore benefit from enhanced safety and protection of the heating elements. Its closed design limits gas leaks when an optional gas inlet system is used, ensuring a more stable environment for medical and pharmaceutical experiments. Its integrated chimney promotes smoke extraction, optimising safety and air quality within the laboratory.
A Reliable Tool for Medical and Scientific Laboratories
The GSM 11/8 combines robustness, precision and ergonomics. Its 8-litre chamber can handle volumes suited to the needs of medical and hospital research. Its control panel includes a Carbolite Gero 301 programmer, offering controlled temperature rise and a process timer. Its compact design and weight of 57 kg make it a sturdy yet manoeuvrable device that can be integrated into a medical working environment. It is a reliable solution for laboratories seeking to maintain a high level of quality and reproducibility in their analytical protocols.
