PC Connection cable Autoclave

Product temperature sensor (optional)

Have you ever struggled with setting a sterilization timer?
Sterilized materials such as liquids and solids do not transfer heat well and reach the sterilization temperature later than the displayed temperature. This is called 『sterilization time lag』.
With a product temperature sensor, a timer is started when the sterilized items reach temperature, efficiently maintaining the effective sterilization time and ensuring safe and reliable sterilization.

1. Liquid “open”

It is suitable for sterilizing liquids in containers such as flasks, beakers, and vial bottles.
The purpose is to prepare sterile water, sterilize or sterilize liquid media such as LB medium, NB medium, TSB medium, BHI medium, and EC broth, buffer solutions, physiological saline, and other liquid samples, and keep them warm.

2. Liquid “sealed”

It is suitable for sterilizing liquids in containers such as flasks, beakers, and vial bottles, which are capped with cotton or sponge stoppers.
The purpose is to prepare sterile water, sterilize or sterilize liquid media such as LB medium, NB medium, TSB medium, BHI medium, and EC broth, buffer solutions, physiological saline, and other liquid samples, and then keep them warm.

3. Instruments

Suitable for sterilizing heat-resistant instruments, etc.
It is intended to sterilize glassware such as test tubes/beakers/flasks, porcelain such as mortars/pestles/evaporation dishes, metalware such as tweezers/scissors/spatulas/wire loops, rubber such as silicone tubes/O-rings, plastics such as bottle-top filters, paper or textiles.

4. waste

It is suitable for sterilizing waste contaminated with microorganisms, cells, etc.
This product is intended for sterilizing mixed products such as used culture media, cleaning wastewater, pipette tips, petri dishes, and paper towels and wipes used for blotting, placed in sterile disposal bags or stainless steel containers.

5. Dissolution

Suitable for killing common bacteria at 75 ~85℃.
The purpose is to treat at 100℃ or less, and to keep sterilized powder culture media warm to prevent coagulation.
Furthermore, by pre-running this process using a calendar timer and keeping the equipment warm, the subsequent sterilization operation time can be further reduced.

Futa Interlock System - Futa Open/Close Detection

It features a sliding lever one-touch lock, ensuring both operability and safety.
If the footer is not securely locked, you will not be able to start driving.
It also features a double-locking mechanism that cannot be unlocked until the temperature and pressure are reduced.

Anti-firing function

If there is a water shortage, an alarm will sound and the system will automatically shut off.
This prevents overheating due to dry lighting and ensures the safety of the equipment and its users.

Ground fault breaker

Senses a power leakage in the equipment and turns off the main power supply.
It activates in the event of a leak or electrical component failure, and
It prevents electric shock.

Temperature and pressure prevention function

An alarm will sound and heating will stop if the can temperature exceeds the set temperature and pressure while driving.
This can easily occur if too much sterile material is packed into the container.

Sensor break detection

An alarm will sound and stop operation if the temperature sensor fails.
Instruments crucial for temperature control prevent equipment from running out of control.

Pressure safety valve

It prevents the pressure from rising by allowing steam from inside the can to escape when the pressure rises to an abnormal level. This is a dual safety device that activates in the unlikely event that the electrical safety device malfunctions and the equipment goes out of control.

Product temperature sensor

The core temperature of the sterilized material rises later than the temperature of the can body. For example, 1 liter of liquid needs to reach 121℃ 10 minutes after the device reaches 121℃.
By positioning the tip of the product temperature sensor at the center of the liquid, not only can the liquid temperature be monitored, but "product temperature mode operation" is also possible, in which the timer starts counting down when the liquid reaches the set temperature.
This ensures that multiple types of sterilization under different conditions can be performed.

Recording and management of driving data

Are you experiencing the hassle of using sterile data?
ENF connects a sterilizer to a PC and allows you to record the temperature, pressure, and time while the device is running in a dedicated application.
It can also be imported into Microsoft Excel®and quantitatively validates the data to support highly accurate sterilization operations.

Recorders and temperature monitoring sensors (custom-made)

GMP requires reliable monitoring and recording of temperature during the sterilization process. This series allows for the addition of recorders and temperature sensors to constantly monitor and record the temperature and pressure inside the can.
This ensures reliable understanding of sterilization conditions and reliable data acquisition, contributing to improved traceability and a stronger quality assurance system.

High altitude support (altitude 1000m or more)

At high altitudes, a decrease in air pressure can lower the boiling point of water, which can affect the temperature and pressure control of the autoclave.
This series allows for setting changes depending on altitude conditions, ensuring proper sterilization conditions even in high-altitude environments and achieving stable operation.

Wire mesh basket

Do not place sterile materials directly into the can body. This not only causes malfunctions but also leads to serious accidents. Be sure to place the sterile material in the wire mesh basket.

This series comes standard with the following wire mesh baskets:
To sterilize liquids, place the container in a wire mesh basket or purchase a sterile container (accessory) sold separately.
