A complete solution for laboratory sterilization

The 2840EL-D has an advanced multi-color control panel and a chamber made of 316L stainless steel. Each model has a number of optional added-value features which can be configured for fast cooling, efficient drying, Fo control, and more.

Advanced Control System

Take advantage of Tuttnauer’s state-of-the-art control system with multi-color display

Safe

Automatic pressure locking system. Door will not open when the chamber is over pressured

Optional Internal Printing

Documents date, time, temperature and pressure

Intuitive Multi-Color Display

Multi-color display for easier reading gives quick access to important information. Color is used to indicate the stage of the cycle

High Quality Stainless Steel

316L grade stainless steel chamber and door with electro-polish finish

Diverse Load Types

30 Program cycles are available, with 8 factory set cycle programs that cover the processing needs of most laboratories and research centers.

An optimized program for every load

30 program cycles are available with each autoclave. Up to 8 cycle programs are factory set according to optional features. The remaining cycles are fully customizable by the user.

Standard Cycles
• Solid and glassware loads at 134°C or 121°C for delicate loads (plastics)
• Liquid loads and waste liquids at 121°C

Standard Cycles added with optional features
• Cooling Coil + Compressed Air
• Fast cooling for liquid loads at 121°C

Feature: Vacuum Pump
• Pre-vacuum cycles
• Solid and glassware loads at 134°C or 121°C for delicate loads (plastics)
• Liquid loads and waste liquids at 121°C
• Air Leakage Test Cycle

Media Processing Cycles
• Isothermal Processing: for preparing agar and other biological media with a temperature range from 60°C to 95°C that allows for gentle heating and cooling down of agar
• Holding Temperature: Special program with programmable holding temperature at the end of the cycle to prevent cooling of media

Special Custom Cycles
• Specifically customized cycles upon request. These may include material stress test, ageing test, varnish test, and others.
• Extended Sterilization Time: Special program with extended sterilization times up to 999 minutes
• Multiple Cycle (Material Stress Test): Special program to automatically run multiple cycles on the same load

Bowie & Dick Test Cycle

Chemical indicator in a product challenge device. Verify effective steam penetration. Also suitable for testing air removal with Helix test.

Vacuum Test Cycle

Verify the integrity of the pressure vessel and its plumbing on a periodic basis as
referred to in ISO 17665-1.
