The Thermo Fisher Scientific Lab Line Vacuum is a vacuum oven line. The Thermo Fisher Scientific Lab Line Vacuum includes a 3628A model with a 1.5 cu.ft. capacity. The Thermo Fisher Scientific Lab Line Vacuum includes a 3618-5 model with a 2.3 cu.ft. capacity.[1][2][3]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Thermo Fisher Scientific Lab Line Vacuum is a vacuum oven used for controlled heating under reduced pressure.
How it works
The Lab-Line vacuum oven uses warm-wall heating, vacuum and purge controls, and corrosion-resistant stainless-steel vacuum and air lines.[3]
The 3618-5 model uses a hydraulic thermostat temperature control with a dial thermometer, and the 3628A model uses a single set-point controller with a seven-day programmable timer and dual displays.[3][2]

Frequently asked questions
What sample sizes can such equipment handle?General reference — not yet source-verified
Lab-scale systems are designed to accommodate samples ranging from small substrates to standard wafer sizes used in research, though exact dimensions vary by model. The chamber size is typically optimized for single or small-batch processing.
How is temperature uniformity maintained in the chamber?General reference — not yet source-verified
Uniformity is achieved through multi-zone heating elements, careful insulation, and feedback control from thermocouples. The vacuum environment also reduces convective heat loss, aiding in even temperature distribution across the sample.
