Introducing the BP-301 laboratory microwave oven from Microwave Research and Applications, Inc. This compact oven has the features that makes it ideal for chemical processing including 11 programmable power levels* and up to 20 memory storage locations for convenience and repeatability.

With 1000 watts of microwave heating power it will make quick work of your digestion, extraction or other heating applications. The oven cavity and housing are stainless steel and the electronics are coated to resist the effects of corrosive environments. Included is a vacuum or gas stainless steel feedthrough into the cavity.

Heating uniformity is achieved by a “mode stirrer” system located in the oven. This eliminates the need for that turntable that so often breaks.

Membrane touch panel allows programming of 11 power settings and 20 memories. Cavity air inlet with on-off exhaust fan switch is located on the side of the oven.

* Power levels are adjustable by sequencing the microwave source on and off giving a time average power level. For example the microwave source will be on at full power for 6 seconds and off for 6 seconds to give 50% power for 12 seconds

A rear mounted plenum allows attachment to your hood exhaust systems for exhausting of cavity fumes or moisture.

Feature for feature, the BP-301 is a great value to put to work in your chemical processing laboratory. This is a heavily constructed laboratory microwave oven that will become the workhorse of you lab. While it is impossible to eliminate the corrosion that occurs during chemical processing our oven has shown that it will last 3-5 times longer than other microwave ovens. With a price under $1,500, this oven is an economical choice over many of the other ovens on the market costing $8,000 or more.
