Labclave 23 Autoclave
The new 23-litre vertical autoclave from LTE Scientific
The Labclave 23 is LTE Scientific’s new low-cost 23-litre laboratory autoclave. It has been designed to offer effective and fast sterilization of many laboratory load types including fluids, discard, glassware and instruments. Taking up a floor area of just 460mm x 395mm, Labclave 23 has to be one of the most compact and versatile units available..
Stainless Steel Pressure Vessel – This one piece pressure vessel is manufactured from high grade 304L stainless steel, and comes with a 5-year warranty against failure.
Push-Button Door Closure – Our ingenious door closure system seals and locks the door at the push of a button. The servo-assisted motor ensures a positive seal every time.
Flexible Control System – Labclave 23 comes with 8 pre-set programs covering the most popular sterilization cycle. In addition, a ‘free cycle’ is also provided, allowing you to set your own specific cycle parameters quickly and easily. See table for further details.
Printer – A complete record of every cycle is produced on this built-in thermal printer.
Post Vacuum System – Non-liquid cycles can achieve faster cycle times thanks to the built-in vacuum pump which will aid the cooling process and help dissipate moisture from the load.
Safety – Labclave 23 is fitted with pressure, temperature and timed door safety systems, ensuring that the door cannot be opened until the chamber has reached atmospheric pressure and 90ºC. A low water protection device is also fitted.
Air Cooled Condensate Unit – The inclusion of this feature allows the cooled condensate to be discharged directly to drain if required, although a waste container is provided as standard.
Cooling Options – For maximum flexibility, 4 types of cooling method are available on the Labclave 23:
- Slow cooling, no vacuum – Exhaust valve is permanently closed during cooling
- Slow cooling, vacuum – Exhaust valve opens at atmospheric pressure at which point vacuum pump initiates
- Fast cooling, no vacuum – Exhaust valve is open during cooling
- Fast cooling, vacuum – Exhaust valve is open and vacuum pump is on during cooling
