Precision Sterilization for Laboratory FacilitiesEngineered to meet demanding sterilization needs, these steam sterilizers efficiently process animal cages, racks, and other lab accessories. The chambers design and advanced temperature control ensure thorough sterilization and maintain lab hygiene standards, supporting optimal research environments.
User-friendly Microprocessor ControlThe microprocessor-based digital controller paired with a touch-screen display streamlines cycle selection, real-time monitoring, and parameter adjustments. Fully automatic operation, programmable cycles, and safety interlocks offer operational peace of mind and ease of use.
Robust and Safe ConstructionConstructed with high-grade stainless steel (SS 304/316) and built-in safety features, including door interlocks and over-temperature protection, these sterilizers prioritize user safety and durability. Rapid cooling and natural or forced air cooling systems enhance workflow efficiency.
FAQs of Sterilizers for cages and racks :
Q: How does the sterilization process work for animal facility cages and racks?
A: The sterilization process utilizes chamber-type steam under controlled temperature (121C to 134C) with forced air circulation to uniformly heat and sterilize cages, racks, and tools. Monitored by a microprocessor-based controller, the cycle typically lasts 3090 minutes, ensuring thorough sterilization.
Q: What safety features are included in these sterilizers?
A: Safety features include over-temperature protection, a door interlock system to prevent accidental opening during operation, and high-grade insulated double-walled doors. These measures protect both operators and equipment throughout the cycle.
Q: When and where should these sterilizers be installed?
A: These units are intended for laboratory animal facilities, research centers, and similar environments with ambient temperatures between 10C and 40C and humidity below 85%. Installation requires floor-mounting and connection to appropriate electric power sources, either 220V or 380V.
Q: What benefits does a fully automatic sterilizer offer?
A: A fully automatic sterilizer provides efficiency, consistent cycle accuracy (1C temperature control), programmable settings, and reduced manual intervention. This ensures reliable sterilization results and enhances workflow convenience for lab personnel.
Q: How can you monitor and customize sterilization parameters?
A: The digital touch-screen control panel allows users to select and program different cycles, monitor real-time pressure and temperature, and customize parameters according to load requirements or specific laboratory protocols.
Q: What is the process for loading and unloading cages and racks?
A: Removable stainless steel trays or racks allow easy loading of various configurations. After the cycle and cooling phase, the double-walled insulated doors can be safely opened for unloading sterilized items.
Q: What is the maximum capacity and can it be customized?
A: Standard units accommodate up to 400 liters, but dimensions and capacity can be customized as per laboratory module size and requirements, providing flexibility for different facility needs.
