BP-090 Laboratory Grade Microwave

A new economy microwave from Microwave Research and Applications 
for entry level laboratory processing.

The BP-090 is a laboratory grade microwave with time and power based controls much like a domestic microwave oven that many histologists use every day. It produces up to 1,000 watts of microwave power. The microwave has a powered cavity ventilation system that can be connected into the house air handling system or to an approved standalone laboratory air handling system.
