Natural convection ovens
Main Benefits
- Silent operation without a fan – ideal when vibration or turbulence is undesirable.
- Gentle airflow prevents drying or damage of sensitive samples.
- Stable temperature distribution for lightly to moderately loaded chambers.
- ECO models for energy-efficient performance and EVO models with advanced programming and logging.
- Available as premium solutions (MMM) or cost-effective entry-level ranges (Phoenix Instrument).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is natural convection?
Natural convection results from temperature differences inside the chamber without the use of a fan, producing gentle, even airflow ideal for sensitive samples.
When should I choose a natural convection oven?
When working with delicate samples, lightweight materials or microbiological processes where gentle airflow is essential and turbulence must be avoided.
What is the difference between Ecocell and Durocell?
Both operate on natural convection. Ecocell is designed for general laboratory use, while Durocell includes a chemically resistant chamber designed for aggressive vapours.
How do MMM and Phoenix Instrument differ?
MMM Medcenter provides premium laboratory ovens with advanced programming and validation features. Phoenix Instrument offers more affordable, straightforward models ideal for standard laboratory use.
Need help selecting the right oven?

Natural convection ovens (also called static ovens or low-turbulence laboratory drying ovens) operate without a fan, using gentle natural airflow. This ensures quiet operation, stable temperature distribution and excellent protection for sensitive samples that must not dry out or be damaged. Labolutions supplies both premium natural convection ovens from MMM Medcenter and cost-effective entry-level models from Phoenix Instrument.
