Overview
The Vector VTR-13-012 Dry Air Steriliser is a laboratory forced-air dry-heat oven for sterilising glassware, metal tools, and temperature-tolerant accessories — without steam, moisture, or pressure-vessel infrastructure.
Circulated hot air holds the chamber at programmed sterilisation temperature and duration so wrapped and unwrapped loads reach repeatable thermal exposure — suited to busy materials, cement, and general QC laboratories that need reliable oven sterilisation beside furnaces and climatic equipment.
Vector configures the VTR-13-012 for internal SOPs and typical dry-heat sterilisation practice referenced to ISO 17025 traceability requirements on the same line as sample prep, balances, and analysis instruments.

Standards & conformity
Browse the standards library
Supports laboratory dry-heat sterilisation and drying workflows aligned with your referenced method and internal quality system. Supplied as CE-marked equipment with Vector support for temperature programme setup and load layout.
Applications
Dry-heat sterilisation and controlled drying for laboratories that must keep glassware, tools, and accessories ready without autoclave moisture.
Cement & materials QC
Drying and heat treatment of tools and containers used on mortar, aggregate, and powder lines.
Sample prep
Conditioning of temperature-tolerant items before weighing, sieving, or crushing workflows.
General drying
Moisture removal on specimens and apparatus where steam sterilisation is unsuitable.
Education & R&D
Teaching and method development for dry-heat exposure profiles beside muffle furnaces and climatic chambers.
Key features
Uniform dry heat, visible chamber access, and traceable programmes for everyday laboratory sterilisation.
Forced circulation
Fan-assisted airflow for even temperature across shelves — reduce cold spots in loaded chambers.
Moisture-free heat
No steam cycle — protect moisture-sensitive glass and metal items from autoclave condensation.
Setpoint & timer
Store typical sterilisation and drying temperatures with defined hold duration per SOP.
Stainless chamber
Corrosion-resistant lining with adjustable shelves for trays, baskets, and bulk glassware.
Protected operation
Insulated enclosure with overtemperature protection for continuous laboratory use.
Laboratory equipment
CE-marked unit for plant laboratories, commercial testing, and university research.
Chamber & dry heat
Loads are placed on adjustable shelves inside an insulated chamber. Forced-air circulation raises temperature to the sterilisation setpoint; hold time completes the thermal exposure before the chamber cools for safe unloading.
- Even exposure — circulated air supports uniform heating across typical glassware layouts.
- Flexible shelving — configure height for trays, baskets, and tall vessels.
- No moisture cycle — dry heat only, for items unsuitable for steam sterilisation.
Control & operation
The control interface centralises temperature entry, timer settings, and status indication. Operators recall typical sterilisation and drying profiles, monitor approach to setpoint, and unload when the cycle completes.
- Stored programmes — recall typical sterilisation and drying temperatures.
- Alarms & limits — early warning on deviation from target temperature.
- Vector support — programme setup, shelving layout, and SOP alignment.
