Description

The Heidolph Tuttnauer Vertical Top-Loading Autoclave (SKU: 13876750) is designed for laboratories requiring reliable sterilization of liquids, media, instruments, plasticware, glassware, clothing, waste, and tall vessels such as bioreactors. The vertical top-loading chamber accommodates tall or bulky items not suitable for front-loading units. This autoclave features a digital LCD that displays pressure, temperature, time, and process alerts for user confidence. Two integrated temperature probes ensure complete liquid sterilization, improving safety and consistency. Four preset cycles—Glass, Plastic, Liquid A, and Liquid B—provide quick selection for common sterilization tasks, and the temperature selection range of 105°C to 137°C supports a variety of workloads. Built-in RS-232 communication and validation ports support documentation and external sensor integration.

FAQs

What types of laboratory loads can this autoclave sterilize?

This autoclave supports sterilizing liquids, media, plasticware, instruments, glassware, clothing, waste, and tall vessels such as bioreactors. Its vertical top-loading chamber accommodates bulky or elongated items not suited for front-loading units, making it ideal for diverse research, industrial, and academic sterilization workflows.

How do the preset sterilization cycles work?

The unit includes four preset cycles—Glass, Plastic, Liquid A, and Liquid B—allowing quick selection of common sterilization scenarios. Each cycle is optimized for specific material types and load characteristics, simplifying operation, reducing setup time, and promoting consistent sterilization results across routine tasks.

Why are dual temperature probes important?

Dual integrated temperature probes ensure liquids reach sterilization temperature consistently, improving accuracy and safety. Liquid loads heat more slowly than solid items, so two probes help verify uniform internal temperatures, reducing risks of under-sterilization and enhancing reliability in media preparation and biological decontamination.

Can this autoclave handle tall or irregularly shaped vessels?

Yes. The vertical top-loading design accommodates bioreactors, long glassware, tall bottles, and other oversized vessels that do not fit into traditional front-loading chambers. This makes the autoclave especially useful for labs that frequently sterilize large or vertical containers used in fermentation, culture prep, and solution storage.

Does the autoclave support data logging and validation?

The built-in RS-232 interface enables data output for documentation and tracking, supporting regulated environments and quality-assurance workflows. Validation ports allow external sensor connection for independent monitoring, providing flexibility for audits, performance qualification, and compliance with laboratory sterilization standards.
