Laboratory LineBenchtop ELC ModelsVertical ELVC ModelsCompressed Air InletChamber is PressurizedCompressed Air InletChamber is PressurizedCold Water InletChamber Temperatureis ReducedCold Water InletChamber Temperatureis ReducedLiquid LoadsLiquid Load Fast Cooling ApplicationsSterilizing liquid requires longer heating and cooling times for completing a cycle, especially with sensitive liquid loads. When time is critical advanced optional fast cooling features are available with Tuttnauer’s laboratory autoclaves that prevent a sudden drop in chamber pressure which can cause liquids to boil over.Fast Liquid CoolingAfter sterilization is completed, compressed air is passed through a microbiological filter into the autoclave chamber in order to prevent a drop in pressure which also prevents load deformation, cracks or spills. Cold water is then circulated through cooling pipes that rapidly reduces the chamber temperature and that of the liquid load to a safe temperature.Tuttnauer’s fast liquid cooling technology reduces cycle time by as much as 50% and minimizes load exposure to high temperatures.Fast Cooling Graph9Laboratory LineSuper Fast Liquid CoolingIn additional to fast cooling, an optional fan can be applied to further circulate the compressed air in the chamber. This speeds up the heat exchange during the cooling stage in order to safely achieve super fast cooling of the liquid load under pressure.Tuttnauer’s accelerated fast liquid cooling technology reduces cycle time by as much as 90% and minimizes load exposure to high temperatures.Vertical ELVC ModelsCompressed Air InletChamber is PressurizedCold Water InletChamber Temperatureis ReducedFan circulates air thatspeeds-up cooling rate.Benchtop ELC ModelsCompressed Air InletChamber is PressurizedCold Water InletChamber Temperatureis ReducedFan circulates air thatspeeds-up cooling rate.F0 – Protect Your Liquid Media, Save Time, Save Energy An additional challenge with liquid sterilization is the need to prevent liquid media exposure to high temperatures for a long time, which may harm the quality of the liquid media. The advanced F0 optional feature minimizes the time liquids are exposed to high temperatures during sterilization thereby protecting liquid media, saving your laboratory time and reducing energy consumption.10Laboratory LineGlassware, Hollow and Tip ApplicationsEfficient air removal is an important requirement for sterilizing hollow loads such as laboratory glassware and tips where the standard gravity displacement air removal method is not effective. Air removal after sterilization also assists in fast drying of your laboratory glassware.Efficient Air RemovalAn optional vacuum pump can be used for fractioned pre vacuum air removal eliminating air pockets from all load types and maximizing efficient steam penetration throughout the entire load.Active Drying with Post VacuumFor benchtop autoclaves, an optional vacuum pump can be used for post vacuum drying, at the end of the sterilization cycle, ensuring improved drying of porous loads and hollow instruments such as pipette tips. The benchtop autoclave is equipped with a heating plate attached under the chamber that heats the chamber during the drying phase. The low pressure in the autoclave chamber, caused by the vacuum, reduces the boiling temperature forcing moisture to evaporate rapidly. The vapour is then removed from the chamber by vacuum resulting in a dry load.Vacuum Pump• used for pre-vacuum air removal• used for post-vacuum moisture removal for fast dryingThe autoclave chamber is heated by a heating plate on the outer chamber wall.11Laboratory LineFor Applications that Need High PerformanceTuttnauer's high performance laboratory autoclaves are equipped the following optional features: a built-in steam generator, a vacuum pump and a coiled pipe around the chamber. These autoclaves provide efficient heat-up and complete drying.Fast and Efficient Heat-upImmediate Steam and Efficient Air RemovalDuring the heat-up phase air is efficiently removed from the chamber by a strong vacuum pump. Steam, that is immediately available from the built-in steam generator, is then injected into the autoclave for immediate chamber heating.Complete DryingChamber Heating and Post VacuumHighly efficient drying is achieved by uniformly heating the chamber wall of the benchtop or vertical autoclave. This is achieved by heating the chamber from steam passed through a coiled pipe around the chamber. The post vacuum stage reduces the boiling point which speeds up drying. This results in faster and complete drying, and guarantees that even the most difficult loads such as textiles, porous loads, hollow instruments and tips, will dry.Benchtop EL ModelsThe autoclave chamber is heated by injecting steam into the coiled pipe around the chamber.The autoclave chamberis heated by injecting steam into the coiled pipe around the chamber.Moisture Removal by Vacuum PumpLow pressure results in low boiling point and fast drying.Moisture Removal by Vacuum Pump Low pressure results in low boiling point and fast drying.Vertical ELV ModelsIntegrated Steam GeneratorIntegrated steam generator for vertical and benchtop autoclave models12Laboratory LineBiohazard and Waste Sterilization FeaturesMany laboratories work with biohazard media that can be dangerous to laboratory staff and the environment. The advanced laboratory autoclave line provides an optional sterilization solution for the treatment of biohazard media. Prior to sterilization, during the air removal stage, all effluent is passed through a 0.2 µm biological filter that filters the exhaust air. During the sterilization phase, condensate does not leave the autoclave chamber where it is sterilized during the cycle and the biological filter is also sterilized. The laboratory staff and environment are further protected from risk of contamination. Tuttnauer provides solid waste containers for holding waste during the sterilization cycle.Air Removal andHeat-Up PhaseSterilization Phase Cycle EndCooling and Exhaust PhaseDuring air removal the chamber air is passed through a biological filter and leaves the autoclaveas sterile air.No Exhaust.The load is sterilized.The biological air filter issterilizedLoad, effluent and airfilter are sterile.Isothermal Processing for Agar PreparationOptional isothermal cycles are typically used for preparing agar and other biological media. Tuttnauer offers a flexible isothermal cycle with a temperature range from 60°C to 105°C that allows for gentle heating and cooling down of agar.13Laboratory LineDoor SafetyThe laboratory autoclaves are designed with a number of independent mechanical and digital safety features.• A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when the chamber is pressurized• Steam will not to enter the chamber when the door is open• A cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked• The door cannot unlock until liquid temperature reaches the predetermined end temperature• The door cannot unlock until chamber pressure reaches room pressureSafetyYour safety is an important factor.
