Gravity convection ovens are commonly used for drying, warming, curing, and heating applications where gentle airflow is preferred to protect sensitive or lightweight samples.
Mechanical convection ovens generally provide tighter temperature uniformity, but gravity convection ovens are often preferred when reduced airflow is more important than maximum uniformity.
Some gravity convection ovens can support dry heat sterilization applications depending on their temperature capabilities and laboratory requirements.
Brands like Binder and Memmert are frequently selected for research environments due to their advanced controls, precision temperature management, and high-quality construction.
