A laboratory drying oven is a type of laboratory equipment that is designed to remove moisture or water from various samples or materials through the application of heat. It is commonly used in scientific research, quality control, and production settings for drying, curing, sterilizing, or processing materials at high temperatures.

Drying ovens typically consist of a temperature-controlled chamber that can be heated up to a specific temperature, often ranging from ambient temperature to 300°C or higher. The samples to be dried or processed are placed inside the oven and subjected to the desired temperature for a certain amount of time until the required level of dryness or processing is achieved.
