Features(of both ovens unless noted)		Benefit:
Corrosion Resistance:
Component designed for heavy duty continuous use		Stands up to the heavy use in laboratory type operation.
High volume air flow out of the cavity.		Safely removes chemical fumes thus reducing corrosion.
Cavity exhaust is through a chemically resistant duct		Safely ducts corrosive chemical into fume hood system that allows the connection to a fume hood.
The cavity and housing are made from Stainless Steel		Chemically resistant materials used in the microwave ovens gives longer life.
The cavity floor is ceramic.		Chemical resistant for long life yet protects the mode stirrer.
Electronics coated with thick corrosion resistant coating		Resists corrosion giving longer life of the sensitive electronics.
The door is treated to resist corrosion.		Microwave leakage is possible if corroded.  Corrosion is virtually eliminated.
The electronics section is positively pressurized with air.		Greatly reduces the chance that chemicals attack the sensitive electronics.
Process related:
Stainless steel feedthrough for process gas or vacuum		Allows for safe and easy method to introduce process cover gas or vacuum through standard ¼” tubing.
Mode stirrer in place of turntable		Mode stirrer gives great heating uniformity without turn tables.
The air flow from the cavity has two speeds		Gives the user more control of process parameters, useful with smaller samples.
Oven to be located near a fume hood instead of in it		Does not use expensive and valuable space inside the fume hood.
BP-301 allows programmable 20 programs		Allows protocols recall of your most often used programs easily for consistency.
BP-310 has infinite power levels		Allows precision control of power resulting in optimum heating of samples

The BP-301 controls applied microwave power by cycling the microwave power on and off.  The ratio of power on time and off time determines the average power applied.  This is a low cost method of controlling power and works well for many cases where the sample is large and can handle the higher power during the on time.  Microwave ovens used for heating food use this method of power control.

The BP-310 has the same features as the BP-301 plus our True-To-Power™ power control system that allows you to set virtually any power setting from about 20 watts to full power without the on-off power cycling. 

Feature for feature, these ovens are a great value to put to work in your chemical processing laboratory.  They are heavily constructed laboratory microwave ovens 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 substantially longer than other microwave ovens not designed for corrosive environments
