Precision temperature control. Reliable performance. British engineering excellence.
Whether you are drying laboratory samples, determining moisture content, testing materials, sterilising equipment or carrying out industrial heat treatment, selecting the right oven is essential for reliable, reproducible results.
But what if your application requires more than a standard laboratory drying oven?
Artec, your specialist Genlab distributor for the Netherlands, introduces the extensive range of British-manufactured Genlab laboratory ovens, industrial ovens and specialist thermal processing equipment.
From compact benchtop laboratory ovens to large industrial heating systems and customised thermal solutions, Genlab offers equipment designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern laboratories, research institutes and manufacturing industries.
More than 60 years of British thermal engineering expertise
Established in 1963, Genlab is a British manufacturer specialising in laboratory ovens, industrial ovens, incubators and temperature-controlled equipment.
With decades of experience in thermal engineering, Genlab combines proven manufacturing expertise with modern temperature control technology.
Its equipment is used across numerous industries, including:
Whatever the application, Genlab offers a broad selection of standard and customised heating solutions.
1. General Purpose Laboratory Ovens – Reliable everyday laboratory performance
For routine laboratory drying, heating and sample conditioning, Genlab offers a comprehensive selection of general-purpose ovens.
The Classic, Multi-Purpose Benchtop and Prime ranges provide solutions for laboratories requiring dependable temperature control and flexible chamber configurations.
Depending on the model, features include:
Typical applications: sample drying, glassware drying, laboratory heating, material conditioning and general quality control.
2. Prime Laboratory Ovens – Advanced temperature control for demanding laboratories
When accurate temperature management, enhanced functionality and ease of operation are essential, the Genlab Prime range offers an attractive solution. These ovens are designed for laboratories requiring more sophisticated temperature control and improved process management. Depending on configuration, features include touchscreen operation, programmable temperature profiles, process timers and temperature monitoring.
Ideal for research and development, industrial quality assurance, material testing and laboratories with demanding thermal processing requirements.
3. Large Capacity and Prime XL Ovens – When laboratory requirements become bigger
Not every sample fits inside a conventional laboratory oven. For larger products, increased sample throughput and demanding heating processes, Genlab manufactures large-capacity ovens, including the Prime XL range. With chamber capacities extending to approximately 1,250 litres, these systems provide solutions for larger-scale laboratory and industrial applications.
Typical applications: batch drying, component conditioning, larger material samples, industrial research and controlled heat treatment.
4. Moisture Extraction Ovens – Efficient and controlled drying
Moisture content can significantly influence product quality, material properties and production efficiency. Genlab Moisture Extraction Ovens are specifically designed for applications requiring efficient moisture removal. By combining increased air circulation with enhanced moisture extraction, these ovens help achieve controlled and effective drying. Available in a range of chamber sizes, they are particularly interesting for laboratories and manufacturers working with moisture-sensitive materials.
Typical applications: moisture removal from industrial materials, sample preparation, product drying and quality control.
5. Materials Testing and Soil Drying Ovens – Supporting reliable test results
Accurate sample preparation is fundamental to reliable materials testing. Genlab manufactures dedicated Materials Testing Ovens and Soil Drying Ovens for laboratories working with construction materials, aggregates, soils, and other test specimens. These specialist ovens support controlled drying and sample conditioning, with selected models designed to meet relevant BS EN and ASTM testing requirements.
Typical applications: civil engineering laboratories, construction materials testing, aggregate testing, soil analysis and materials research.
6. High-Temperature Ovens – Thermal processing up to 500 °C
Some applications demand considerably higher temperatures than conventional laboratory ovens can provide. Genlab High-Temperature Ovens are designed for continuous operation at temperatures up to 500 °C. Featuring robust construction, stainless-steel interiors, advanced temperature controllers and dedicated safety systems, these ovens are suitable for demanding thermal processes.
Typical applications: high-temperature material testing, thermal ageing, specialised heat treatment and industrial research.
7. Heavy-Duty Industrial Ovens – Built for demanding production environments
When thermal processing becomes part of the manufacturing process, capacity, reliability, and flexibility are crucial. Genlab Heavy-Duty Ovens are designed for industrial drying, warming, and heat treatment. The range includes large chamber capacities and can be adapted with reinforced shelving, loading trolleys and customised racking systems.
Typical applications: industrial batch processing, drying large components, controlled product warming and production-related thermal treatments.
8. Specialist Industrial Ovens – Tailored to the application
In addition to its standard laboratory and industrial ovens, Genlab offers specialist solutions including:
These solutions are especially relevant to manufacturing companies seeking to improve production consistency and process control.
9. Hot Air Sterilisers and Wax Melting Ovens – Specialist laboratory applications
Genlab also manufactures specialist ovens for medical, healthcare, and laboratory environments. Its Hot Air Sterilisers are designed for dry-heat sterilisation applications, while Wax and Paraffin Melting Ovens support controlled heating of wax in histology and pathology laboratories. These systems demonstrate the versatility of Genlab’s thermal engineering expertise.
10. Dual Purpose Ovens / Incubators – Two functions, one chamber
For laboratories requiring both incubation and higher-temperature heating, Genlab offers Dual Purpose Oven / Incubator systems. These units combine two temperature operating ranges in a single chamber, providing additional flexibility while reducing the need for separate equipment. Ideal for multipurpose laboratories, educational institutes and research facilities.
Standard equipment or a customised thermal solution?
Every application is different.
The required temperature range, chamber dimensions, heating uniformity, airflow, sample characteristics and loading capacity can all influence the selection of the most suitable oven. Genlab’s engineering expertise also enables the development of bespoke thermal solutions when standard equipment does not fully meet the application requirements. This makes Genlab an interesting partner for both laboratory professionals and industrial process engineers.
