Autoclaves / sterilizers

Particularly in microbiology laboratories it is absolutely essential to have the proper tools to sterilise your equipment to prevent contamination. Autoclaves are special instruments that are used to sterilise equipment. Most autoclaves use steam and operate at higher than ambient pressure and temperatures to eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria and spores. There are several different models that can vary in loa (more)ding capacity and use different ways to introduce steam and sterilise the equipment.

Hirayama HICLAVE HG-80 Floor-Standing Autoclave with Automatic Lid, 85L, 208/220/240V Chamber Volume (more) 76L Sterilization Temperature Range 105ºC to 135ºC Chamber Dimensions 14.3 x 28.7 in(36.4 x 73.0 cm) Features - Automatic Lid Opening and Closing Button replaces a foot pedal. - Safety Interlock senses pressure and temperature and prevents lid from opening during a cycle, when the chamber is pressurized, and when the high temperature can cause boil over. - Programmable Auto-Start for running a cycle from 1 to 99 hours later and time for air removal before sterilization. - Large (15 liters) / Efficient Steam Condenser ensures no steam exhausts into the lab. The HG-113 and HG-133 incorporate a radiator for this. - Over-Flow Lamp indicates that the drain bottle is full and ready to be emptied. - Built-in Cooling Fan for faster post-sterilization cooling and shorter completion time. - Selectable Rate of steam venting after sterilization. - Twelve Programs Cycles can be stored. - Large Control and Display Panel improves functionality and shows the progress of the sterilization cycle. The Hirayama HICLAVE HG-80 is an advanced 85L floor-standing autoclave designed for efficient and safe sterilization. It features an automatic lid opening button to replace the conventional foot pedal and an automatic lid closing button for convenience. Its safety interlock prevents the lid from opening during cycles, ensuring safety when the chamber is pressurized or at high temperatures. The programmable auto-start can delay the start of a cycle by 1 to 99 hours. A large and efficient 15-liter steam condenser prevents steam from exhausting into the lab, complemented by a built-in cooling fan for rapid post-sterilization cooling. Users can select the rate of steam venting post-sterilization and program the air removal time before sterilization begins. Up to twelve program cycles can be stored for easy recall.The HG-80 boasts a large control and display panel, enhancing functionality and cycle progress visibility. Specifications include a chamber size of 76 liters (14.3" x 28.7"), a temperature range of 105°C to 135°C, a sterilization timer from 1 to 300 minutes, and an agar warming range maintainable from 45°C to 60°C for up to 24 hours to prevent coagulation. Additional features include a programmable air removal timer, selectable steam venting rates, and customizable temperature settings for lid interlock release for increased safety and flexibility. The unit is equipped with comprehensive safety features, including a circuit breaker with GFCI, low-water power cut-off, over-temp power cut-off, over-pressure power cut-off, safety valve, and a sensor for improper lid closing. The autoclave comes with a 15-liter water tank for the steam condenser and a 2-liter drain water bottle. It operates on 208/220/240V, 50/60 Hz, single-phase power, with a consumption of 3.8 kW, and ships at a weight of 255 lb (116 kg).INCLUDED: The Hirayama HICLAVE HG-80 Floor-Standing Autoclave with Automatic Lid, 85L, 208/220/240V includes: - Power Cord - Operator's Manual - 1 Year Manufacturer's Warranty
