DESCRIPTION

The Tuttnauer® Model 3850EP autoclave is designed for sterilizing laboratory and medical equipment, media and even liquids. The Tuttnauer® autoclave provides fast, safe and dependable sterilization without any need for special plumbing or venting. Tuttnauer® autoclaves are manufactured with 316L stainless steel sterilization chambers which are highly corrosion-resistant. These autoclaves feature a fast exhaust option which reduces cycle time for solid goods and a slow exhaust option which releases chamber pressure slowly and prevents boiling over of liquids. Cold air pockets are eliminated by continuous pressure purging which ensures uniform sterilization.                    The autoclave includes a 3.25L water reservoir which allows complete control the purity of the sterilizing steam and allows repeated use without the need to refill very often. The integral drying cycle prevents corrosion of expensive instruments and also dries absorbent materials. The autoclave also includes a low water level alarm which prevents damage to the heating elements. Tuttnauer® autoclaves feature a double-locking door that is insulated for high heat and protects lab personnel from accidental burns. The door cannot be opened when chamber is pressurized by means of a dead-bolt mechanism for added safety.                    Tuttnauer® Model 3850EP features microprocessor control with digital display of pressure and temperature. Includes an integrated printer which validates each sterilization cycle by recording elapsed sterilization and drying time, real time and real date, temperature, pressure, cycle number, and program type. Sterilization temperature and pressure are printed every minute. The printer produces the sterilization process summary at the end of each cycle with all documentation. When errors or interruptions occur during the cycle it is documented with the reason for the failure on the printout.                    These autoclaves also features four adjustable, single push-button programs which provide reproducible sterilization cycles for items to be sterilized. Laboratory personnel can enter and store operating parameters of temperature (105 to 137°C, 221 to 279°F), sterilization time (0 to 59 minutes), pressure (0 to 40psi), and drying time (0 to 99 minutes). Parameters can also be set and store temperature in °C or °F as well as pressure in either psi or bar. In-line filters protect all pressure valves. Diameter x Depth: 15 x 20-Inch. Capacity: 65-Liters. Includes support stand and two removable and adjustable stainless steel tray shelves to accommodate varying sizes and heights of laboratory instrumentation, glassware and vessels. Electrical: 220V/2400W.
