Despite the space-saving exterior dimensions of the BioClaves,
the stainless-steel chambers are surprisingly large, accommodating a variety of
liquids, media, instruments, glassware, plasticware and other common research
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.
Wit ah large digital display and fully automatic operation,
all segments of the 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
and a USB drive can be used to record settings and transfer them to a PC.
BioClave Mini™ Autoclave Oven: The 8-liter BioClave Mini is
preprogrammed to meet basic sterilization needs. Temperature can be selected at
either 121°C or 134°C, and
the sterilization time is fully adjustable. The economical BioClave Mini is the
ideal choice wherever benchtop sterilization is required, and space is limited.
BioClave 16™ Autoclave Oven: The 16-liter BioClave offers
preset cycle options (standard programs), for use with liquids, wrapped
research instruments or unwrapped instruments/plasticware. An additional 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.
With similar operation to the BioClave Mini and BioClave 16,
the new 28-liter model features an increased chamber size with a diameter of 32cm. With this larger internal chamber, the BioClave 28 is
our only model capable of sterilizing 1- and 2-liters flasks (and bottles). Despite
the increased chamber size, the unit is still relatively compact, suitable for
benchtop use.
Operation is fully automatic, meaning all segments of
operation (fill, sterilize, exhaust and dry) commence and run to completion by
simply pressing “Start”. An optional thermal mini printer is also available for
providing a record of sterilization parameters. In addition, a built in USB
port allows for transfer of these parameters to a computer for printing or
storage of cycle data.
Both BioClaves offer three cycle options (standard
programs), which are preset for the sterilization of liquids, wrapped
instruments or unwrapped instruments/plastic ware. A “Dry Only” option 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
BioClaves are fully adjustable.
