Used BIOCLAVE STE-18A-16L #9286704 for sale

BIOCLAVE STE-18A-16L is a highly reliable and efficient laboratory autoclave developed by Tuttnauer. It is used for high-temperature sterilization of liquid, suspended particles, and solids such as glass and plastic labware. STE-18A-16L is suitable for use in a wide variety of lab settings, from small-scale research to industrial mass production. BIOCLAVE STE-18A-16L is an electrically heated and operated laboratory autoclave that utilizes forced air convection steam chamber and pressure-controlled sterilization. It is composed of a heated chamber, a steam generator, a controller box, and a door integral to the unit. The chamber can accommodate up to 17x360mm (18"x16") glass or plastic labware pieces. The full-capacity chamber makes it easy to sterilize multiple samples simultaneously. STE-18A-16L uses forced air convection steam chamber that creates a fast sterilization process by rapidly forcing heated steam into the chamber. Temperature range is 0-134oC with accuracy of ±1oC. The pressure range is 0-2.07 barg, with an accuracy of 0.025 barg. It has a sterilization cycle that uses a liquid flush cycle followed by a steam chamber cycle. BIOCLAVE STE-18A-16L operates in three distinct phases. During the pre-sterilization phase, the appropriate settings are set into the controller box. During the sterilization phase, the heated chamber reaches and maintains the desired temperature and pressure through forced air convection. Afterwards, during the drying phase, compressed air is used to remove moisture from inside the chamber. The cycle is completed by cooling the chamber down to room temperature. STE-18A-16L is computer-controlled, with an easy-to-use LCD touch screen menu preprogrammed with different time-temperature combinations for various types of porous and nonporous loads. The steam generator with integral solenoid valves eliminate the need for an external control box. It also has other features such as an audit lock-out feature and two-step door unlocking system, which provide an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access. Safety features such as automatic air venting, temperature and pressure safety features, and pressure release valve enhance safety during the sterilization process and give BIOCLAVE STE-18A-16L a competitive edge in the market. It also features a self- diagnostic program to detect any fault or damage in the unit. Overall, STE-18A-16L is a reliable and efficient laboratory autoclave designed to provide fast and consistent results for a variety of lab processes. It is equipped with a range of features that make it suitable for use in laboratory and industrial settings and ensure the highest level of safety during the process.
