A laboratory furnace is a specially designed piece of laboratory equipment that is designed to analyze, incinerate, and/or heat treat samples. In the late nineteenth century, the laboratory furnace was described as "a small and compact form of furnace for the laboratory of workshop, such as the Bunsen-burner furnace of the blast gas-furnace."[1] These furnaces were originally fueled by gas[2], though electric versions began appearing in the late nineteenth century.[3] Early uses were for managing metals and other geological extracts (e.g., studying the inflammability of coal dust).[2][4][5] In modern times, the laboratory furnace may be used for crystal growth[6], corrosion testing[7], and biomass fuel combustion testing.[8]
