With higher capacity and better performance, Tuttnauer’s EL Laboratory line of fully automatic, microprocessor controlled, benchtop, steam sterilisers provides safe, economical and effective sterilisation. Integrated reservoir for water feed, with water level control and steam recirculation saves on demineralised water consumption and enables the autoclave to be independent of a water supply. External heating elements make the steriliser easy to clean. These Tuttnauer benchtop front loading laboratory autoclaves are available in chamber sizes from 23 to 160L. EL models have an advanced microprocessor based control panel.
- 23 to 160L chambers
- Sterilises liquids, solids, glassware and biohazard
- Advanced microprocessor control panel
- Independent temperature and pressure monitoring
- Independent digital and mechanical door safety features
- Chambers constructed of 316Ti grade stainless steel
Sterilisation applications:
- Various applications can be carried out using the autoclave’s standard programs
- Additional options ensure more control over results and optimal, safe and repeatable sterilisation processes
- Liquids such as nutrient media and buffer solutions
- Solid items such as pipettes, tubes and filters
- Glassware and plastic articles
- Waste sterilisation
Quality features:
- Chamber is constructed of long lasting 316Ti grade stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance
- Generator is made from stainless steel
- Autoclave automatically switches to standby mode if no buttons or switches are operated for four hours
- Designed for easy servicing allowing maintenance access to all components
- Drain protection: the exhaust drain is mixed with cold tap water that cools the exhaust’s temperature before reaching the drain
Control features:
- High precision control system for perfect sterilization results
- Password protection allows for secure access control
- Independent temperature and pressure monitoring
- Cycle information recovery in the case of power failure or cycle interruption
- Fail alert – indicates cycle failure or interruption
- Door alert – indicates the door is unlocked
- RS 232 PC connection port for direct software updates and remote maintenance
ADMC software:
- ADMC software allows complete control and monitoring of up to eight sterilisers
- Software retrieves data, creates graphs, tables and print outs, controls the autoclave and shows real-time data
Safety features:
- Safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when the chamber is pressurized
- Steam is not allowed to enter the chamber when the door is open
- A cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked
- Door cannot unlock until liquid temperature reaches the predetermined end temp
- Door cannot unlock until chamber pressure reaches room pressure
- Temperature activated door lock – the door will not open until the temperature is below a specified safe level
- Double independent monitoring: the combined electronic and mechanical monitoring guarantees accurate results, the operator has two independent means to monitor temperature and pressure
- Safety valves: the chamber is equipped with safety valves – if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit the safety valves will discharge
- Built-in steam generator safety: a water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters
