LTE Scientific Touchclave-R 160L Vertical Steam Autoclave for Laboratory Sterilization

The LTE Scientific Touchclave-R is a vertical steam autoclave designed for precise and reliable sterilization in biotechnology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics laboratories. It features a 160-liter 316L stainless steel pressure vessel (500 x 825 mm) tailored for bioprocessing and clinical sterilization workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• 8-program touchscreen control system enabling customizable sterilization cycles critical for molecular cloning and synthetic biology applications.
• Door push-and-lock with pneumatic seal and safety microswitch, ensuring cycle initiation only when the chamber is correctly sealed and locked.
• Built-in air ballast system accelerates liquid load sterilization, enhancing throughput for biomanufacturing processes.
• Operating temperature range from 105ºC to 137ºC with submerged heating elements for consistent steam generation, essential for sterilizing sensitive biotech and laboratory materials.
• Process timer with load detection optimizes cycle duration according to load type, minimizing downtime in research and quality control labs.
• Safety interlocks prevent door opening until temperature and pressure return to safe levels, ensuring operator safety in clinical and research environments.
• Fan cooling system for efficient post-cycle cooldown.

With compact external dimensions of 1580 x 700 x 1170 mm and weighing 290 kg, the Touchclave-R offers robust sterilization performance while fitting within constrained laboratory spaces. This sterilizer is widely adopted in biotechnological research, clinical diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where reliable, repeatable sterilization is critical.
