12 Cubic Ft Despatch® High-Performance LAC Series Bench Oven

The Despatch LAC2-12 is a 12 cu. ft. high-performance laboratory oven designed for applications requiring excellent temperature uniformity, rapid recovery, and controlled forced-air circulation. Horizontal recirculating airflow distributes heated air evenly across the chamber, making the LAC2-12 an excellent option for asphalt sample conditioning, aggregate drying, aging, and other temperature-sensitive laboratory processes.

Lab Manager's Tip

If a laboratory is choosing between an LBB and LAC of similar capacity, think about the application rather than just the size. The LBB is an excellent general-purpose drying oven; the LAC is the better fit when tighter temperature uniformity and higher maximum temperature are important.
