Vacuum oven VO
Memmert vacuum oven VO, digital pressure regulation for rapid and gentle vacuum drying of temperature-sensitive materials. Speed-controlled vacuum pump (optional) reduces energy consumption by approximately 70%.
- Climate & incubation
- Environmental labs
Applications
- Gentle drying of temperature-sensitive samples (biota, polymers, pharmaceutical formulations)
- Degassing of electronic components and battery materials prior to testing
- Solvent evaporation under reduced pressure
- Vacuum conditioning in materials science and Li-ion battery R&D
- Residual moisture determination where standard drying would damage the sample

Description
The vacuum oven VO is dedicated to applications where conventional hot-air drying is too aggressive. Digital pressure control combined with Memmert's patented thermoshelves, where each shelf is heated directly via metal contact, delivers faster, more uniform, and gentler drying than conventional vacuum ovens with wall heating only.
Three chamber volumes (29, 49, and 101 L) cover everything from small R&D flows to industrial production control. With the optional speed-controlled vacuum pump, energy consumption is reduced by an estimated 70% compared to fixed speed, making a measurable difference in facilities with continuous operation.
VO is widely used in Li-ion battery R&D to drive off electrolyte residues, in pharmaceutical formulation for gentle drying of low-weight substances, and in materials labs for degassing prior to mechanical testing.
