Yamato SM Series Large Capacity Steam Autoclaves & Sterilizers with Dryer

The Yamato SM Series comprises four technical models—SM520, SM530, SM820, and SM830—offering large capacity steam autoclaves and sterilizers designed for high-efficiency sterilization in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, clinical laboratories, and biomedical engineering applications. These units provide precise temperature control via a PID microprocessor and feature a 7" interactive touch panel for customizable sterilization parameters, including time and temperature settings essential in bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Sterilization temperature range: 105 to 135°C for sterilization and 135 to 150°C for drying.
• Capacity: 50 L for SM520/530 and 80 L for SM820/830, with internal chamber dimensions of ø370 × depth 470 or 750 mm.
• Maximum operating pressure: 0.255 MPa (approximately 2.55 bar).
• Heating elements: Dual 1000 W sterilize pipes and dual drying pipes of varying wattages (up to 625 W per pipe).
• Safety features: Multiple sensors protect against over-temperature, pressure deviations, heater malfunctions, and pressure vessel safety with independent overheat protection and locking mechanisms.
• Power supply: Available in AC100-120V or AC200-240V options, accommodating various laboratory electrical standards.
• Weight: Approximately 113 kg (SM520/530) and 137 kg (SM820/830).

The SM Series supports sterilization of a broad range of lab and medical instruments, including non-plastic small medical devices, dental instruments, respiratory therapy equipment, and liquid or solid samples in biotechnological and pharmaceutical lab contexts. The inclusion of a drying function and optional sample temperature sensor enhances process reliability for moisture-sensitive materials, fats, oils, and powders common in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing workflows.

With its automatic high-pressure steam sterilization system, the Yamato SM Series is essential for molecular cloning, gene editing, and microbial decontamination protocols, meeting stringent sterilization requirements in clinical diagnostics and research laboratories. The ergonomic design, interactive interface, and robust safety measures make it a popular choice for life sciences research facilities focused on live-cell analysis, fluorescence studies, and bioprocessing quality control.

Included accessories typically feature stainless steel mesh baskets, drain boards, chemical indicators, and filters to support a wide range of lab sterilization tasks. This durable, eco-friendly equipment offers reliability and precision for critical sterilization in pharmaceutical, food safety, and water-based lubricant industries.

By delivering optimized control over sterilization cycles with customizable set points for liquefying, retaining, preheating, and drying, the SM series autoclaves provide advanced capabilities for efficient, safe, and reproducible sterilization critical in modern biotechnological research and production pipelines.
