NOTE: ArgoLab ovens are supplied with the valve open; it is recommended not to close it completely in order not to impair the performance of the instrument.
Uploading Samples To ensure optimal air circulation within the ArgoLab oven/incubator chamber, it is recommended to leave empty spaces between the samples. For proper convection, it is important not to place samples in contact with the walls of the chamber.
