Laboratory equipment includes ovens, sterilization and material preparation equipment that are commonly found in laboratories. The laboratory could be a university or research lab, a government or private company lab, forensics, pharmaceutical or a clinical diagnostics lab. New analysis and instrumentation expectations create a continuous stream of design actively throughout the industry.

For over 30 years, Watlow’s temperature controllers have been recognized as the preferred controller for environmental chambers, sterilization and other laboratory equipment. The reason is Watlow’s advanced control algorithms provide stable and repeatable temperature performance while user interfaces make it easy to set up the controller and operate the laboratory equipment. Watlow has been a leader in providing heaters for steam and ethylene oxide sterilization. An example is Watlow’s electropolished WATROD tubular heaters that provide long life, resist corrosion and are easy to clean. In addition, Watlow manufactures high-temperature ceramic fiber heaters for optimum performance in laboratory ovens and furnaces.
