Processes and Applications
Rapid cooling systems significantly reduce cooling times for liquids, enhancing productivity. Various cooling options include ambient air ventilation, mantle cooling, and ultracooler systems. Support pressure prevents boiling and ensures safe handling of culture media.
Safety Features
Temperature- and pressure-dependent door locking. Redundant process control for continuous monitoring. Exhaust air filtration with condensate inactivation for hazardous biological substances.
Additional Features
Superdry system for drying solids and porous materials. Loading baskets and inserts for effective sterilization. Optional lifting device for handling heavy items.
Procedures
The document outlines several sterilization procedures, including gravitation, pre-vacuum, pulsed excess pressure, and fractionated pre-vacuum. It also describes cooling and drying methods, such as conventional cooling with slow pressure release and rapid cooling systems.
Applications
The autoclaves are suitable for sterilizing liquids, unpacked non-hollow items, porous materials, hollow items, and contaminated waste. The document provides a matrix indicating recommended, possibly acceptable, and not possible procedures for each application.
Loading Capacities
Detailed tables list the internal and external dimensions of baskets and their capacities per autoclave model. The loading capacities vary depending on the size of flasks and bottles used.

Systec Laboratory Autoclaves-10

Sterilization of liquids. Heating up Overview Conventional cooling / Rapid cooling Up to 50 % shorter heat-up times as standard Due to the combined temperature and pressure regulation, the chamber pressure is increased during the heat-up phase. The result: more rapid temperature equilibrium in the liquids and a shorter heat-up time. The actual sterilization time of e.g. 15 minutes at 121 °C is only a fraction of the total time involved for an autoclave procedure. Especially in the case of sterilizing liquids, the heating up and cooling down phases are considerably longer. The conventional procedure...

Sterilization of liquids. Cooling Systec supplies autoclaves guaranteeing precise sterilization processes, safe handling and increased productivity. Numerous cooling functions are available for liquid sterilization. In addition to conventional cooling by regulated steam exhaust down to 100 °C and subsequent very slow self-cooling down to 80 °C, optional cooling systems for rapid cooling are available. Various optional rapid cooling systems enable the cooling times for liquids to be signicantly reduced. This conserves culture media and makes for efficient utilization of the autoclave. Cooling...
