Note: Some options (e.g. floating sensor) must be specified at the time of order and cannot be retrofitted.
Q: What is the chamber capacity of the CL-40L autoclave?
A: The CL-40L autoclave has a chamber volume of 117 litres with internal dimensions of Ø400 × 820 mm, allowing sterilisation of large laboratory loads.
Q: What types of materials can be sterilised in the CL-40L?
A: The autoclave is suitable for sterilising laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, liquids, and biological materials, making it ideal for microbiology and research laboratories.
Q: What is the temperature range of the CL-40L autoclave?
A: The sterilisation temperature range is 100 °C to 137 °C, with additional functions including dissolving (40 °C to 99 °C) and warming (40 °C to 60 °C).
Q: What is the maximum pressure of the autoclave?
A: The CL-40L operates at a maximum pressure of 0.250 MPa, ensuring effective sterilisation performance.
Q: How long can sterilisation cycles run?
A: The sterilisation time is adjustable from 0 minutes up to 48 hours, providing flexibility for different laboratory applications.
Q: What operating modes are available?
A: The CL-40L offers three main modes: Sterilisation, Sterilisation + Warming, and Dissolving + Warming, allowing versatile use depending on the application.
Q: Is the CL-40L easy to operate?
