Frequently asked questions
Common questions about QUINCY LAB from 3G Electric.
What temperature range and uniformity do Quincy Lab analog forced-air ovens hold?
The analog forced-air convection ovens in the Quincy Lab line reach a maximum temperature of 232°C and are specified at ±3°C temperature uniformity and accuracy tolerance at 150°C. Chamber sizes in the catalog include 0.6, 1.14, 1.83, and 2.86 cu ft, with wattages of 800 W, 1,050 W, 1,500 W, and 1,550 W respectively. All of these models operate on 115V AC. The mechanical convection design uses a blower to circulate air through the chamber, which is the mechanism behind the stated uniformity figure. Confirm the specific model's datasheet before specifying for a process with tighter tolerance requirements.
How do I choose between a Quincy Lab forced-air oven and a Quincy Lab gravity convection incubator?
They serve different purposes. The forced-air ovens use a blower to circulate heated air, which reduces temperature stratification across the chamber and suits drying, curing, and thermal testing where even heat distribution matters. The gravity convection incubator relies on natural air movement, is non-refrigerated, and holds ambient +2°C to 61°C with ±0.75°C accuracy in a 0.7 cu ft chamber. Gravity convection is used for cell culture and similar work where forced airflow would disturb samples or cause unwanted drying. Select based on whether the application needs active air circulation or a still, temperature-held environment.
Are Quincy Lab shelves and shelf supports interchangeable between oven models?
No. The shelf and shelf support part numbers in the Quincy Lab line are keyed to specific oven models. For example, shelf support MPN 101-1001 is compatible with the 10GCE oven, shelf support MPN 101-3001 is compatible with the 20AFE, and wire shelf MPN 201-4000 is compatible with the 40GCE. Before ordering a replacement, confirm the oven model number on the unit's nameplate and match it to the compatible model number listed for the accessory. Ordering by part number rather than by appearance avoids fitment problems, since chamber dimensions and support geometry differ across the model range.
What power supply do Quincy Lab ovens and incubators require?
The Quincy Lab analog forced-air ovens and the general purpose gravity convection incubator listed in the 3G Electric catalog operate on 115V AC. Wattage varies by chamber size: the 0.6 cu ft oven draws 800 W, the 1.14 cu ft model 1,050 W, the 1.83 cu ft model 1,500 W, and the 2.86 cu ft model 1,550 W. Because the supply requirement is fixed at 115V AC across these units, verify that the intended installation point can carry the circuit load for the specific model, particularly for the larger chambers. Datasheets for each SKU list the electrical specifications.
Does the Quincy Lab incubator have a digital display or programmable control?
The general purpose incubator in this line uses an analog display and is non-refrigerated. It is a gravity convection unit with a temperature range from ambient +2°C to 61°C and ±0.75°C accuracy, in a 0.7 cu ft chamber measuring 11 in x 13 in x 15 in. Analog control means there is no firmware to configure and no digital setpoint interface; temperature is set and read at the unit. This suits laboratories that prefer a simple control scheme and do not require ramping, programming, or data logging from the incubator itself. Check the datasheet for the specific SKU if your protocol requires documented setpoint control.
What information does 3G Electric provide for Quincy Lab SKUs?
Each Quincy Lab SKU in the 3G Electric catalog is listed with its manufacturer part number, product type, compatible equipment where applicable, and published specifications such as chamber capacity, wattage, voltage, maximum temperature, and temperature uniformity or accuracy. Datasheets are available for the listed models. Buyers can request a quote against a specific model number or against an accessory part number for an oven already in service. Orders are supported with logistics coordination for delivery, and the catalog covers both the ovens and incubators themselves and the shelves, racks, and supports that maintain them.
