Yamato SM511 Top-Loading Autoclave with Microprocessor PID Control

The Yamato Autoclave SM511 is a top-loading steam sterilizer designed for efficient and reliable sterilization in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and bioprocessing laboratories. Featuring a 47-liter stainless steel chamber, the SM511 supports sterilization at 105 to 128°C with subsequent drying between 150 and 180°C, ensuring sterilized materials are ready for immediate use.

Key technical features include:

• Microprocessor-based PID temperature control for precise regulation and stability during sterilization cycles.
• Digital LED display with programmable time settings ranging from 1 minute up to 999 hours for customizable sterilization protocols.
• Maximum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa, suitable for standard autoclave sterilization needs in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.
• Comprehensive safety mechanisms such as sensor error detection, electric leakage breaker, safety valve, and self-diagnostic functions ensure secure and uninterrupted operations.
• Front-access drain valve and condensation collector neutralize exhaust steam, enhancing lab safety and operational ease.
• Power ratings of 2.0 kW (sterilization heater) and 1.5 kW (drying heater) support efficient steam generation and drying phases.

This autoclave is widely adopted in biotechnology research settings for applications including live-cell culture sterilization, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its robust construction and programmable control interface make it ideal for laboratories requiring dependable sterilization equipment optimized for bioprocessing and gene editing protocols.

The Yamato SM511 Autoclave’s compact footprint (18"x21"x44") and 190 lb weight allow it to fit conveniently on lab benchtops while accommodating a sizable internal volume—making it a critical instrument for modern biomedical engineering and synthetic biology laboratories.
