Research Autoclaves BioClave™ Series - Mini Autoclave - B4000-M

Despite the space-saving exterior dimensions of the Benchmark Bioclaves, the stainless steel sterilization chambers are surprisingly large, accommodating a variety of liquids, media, instruments, glassware, plasticware and other common laboratory items. Both of these benchtop models include a mechanical and electrical safety interlock that prevents the door from being opened until the pressure has reached zero PSI. With large digital displays and fully automatic operation, all segments of the sterilization cycle (fill, sterilize, exhaust and dry) commence and run to completion by simply pressing the start button. An optional thermal mini-printer is also available for providing a record of sterilization parameters (compatible with BioClave 16™ only). BioClave Mini™ Autoclave: The 8 liter BioClave Mini™ is preprogrammed to meet basic sterilization needs. Although the temperature can be selected at either 121°C or 134°C, the sterilization time is fixed. The economical BioClave Mini™ is the ideal choice wherever benchtop sterilization is required and space is limited. BioClave 16™ Autoclave: The 16 liter BioClave™ offers three cycle options (standard programs), which are preset for the sterilization of liquids, wrapped instruments or unwrapped instruments/plasticware. A fourth option "Dry Only" is also available for additional drying time to be added to the end of a cycle. For special applications, requiring variations in cycle parameters, all settings on the BioClave™ 16 are fully adjustable.
