Product Overview
The ALP Smart Lab Clave CL Series is a range of top-loading laboratory autoclaves offering a price-performance balance for routine sterilisation work across research, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories. The series spans five chamber sizes, from 45 L to 117 L, giving laboratories a choice of capacity to match daily throughput.
Depending on the model, the CL Series sterilises at temperatures from 100°C up to a maximum of 140°C or 137°C, covering standard sterilisation cycles and, on selected models, higher-temperature cycles suited to heat-resistant items requiring temperatures above 130°C.
A one-action safety interlock lid is standard across the series. A single lever locks and unlocks the lid, and an auto-balance hinge mechanism is designed to make lifting and lowering the lid feel effortless. This is paired with a double interlock system: the lid is held closed throughout the sterilisation cycle, and remains locked until chamber temperature and pressure have both dropped to a safe level.
Operation is controlled from a digital display panel that shows sterilisation progress through an indicator bar and on-screen status text, with settings visible during programming. Sterilisation, sterilization/warming, and dissolving/warming programmes are available as standard, with liquid sterilisation possible depending on the programme selected. Daily operation involves loading the chamber, closing and locking the lid, selecting the programme, and pressing start.
On the larger-diameter φ400 mm chamber models, increased chamber diameter is intended to improve loading capacity for glassware. On selected smaller models, a lower work surface height is intended to make loading heavier baskets, including liquid-filled vessels, more manageable.
For applications requiring dried loads after sterilisation, the related CL-DP series adds an integrated drying function, drawing air through a 0.2 µm sterilisation filter to dry glassware and other suitable items without opening the lid.
Available options across the range, depending on model and configuration, include a floating temperature sensor for monitoring load temperature directly, a printer for recording temperature and time on roll paper, a rapid cooling fan to shorten cool-down time, and a recorder for profiling temperature and time across multiple sensors. IQ/OQ documentation is available as an optional add-on to support GMP and GLP compliance requirements.
Key Features
- One-action safety interlock lid: Single-lever lock and unlock with an auto-balance hinge mechanism.
- Double interlock system: The lid remains locked until the chamber temperature and pressure reach safe levels.
- At-a-glance progress display: Indicator bar and on-screen status show sterilisation progress and settings.
- Multiple operation programmes: Sterilisation, sterilization/warming, and dissolving/warming as standard.
- Large-diameter φ400 mm chamber: Increased loading capacity for glassware compared with the 320 mm-diameter models.
Application Areas
- General laboratory glassware and instrument sterilisation where chamber capacity and cycle temperature suit the load.
- Culture medium preparation and pasteurisation-style processing using the dissolving/warming programme.
- Higher-volume glassware sterilisation runs, informed by the stated capacity of the Erlenmeyer flask.
Regulatory / Certification Information
IQ/OQ documentation: Available as an optional add-on to support GMP/GLP compliance.
Installation Requirements
- Supplied without a plug. Power connection must be made via a recessed or wall-mounted isolator rated at 30 A, either directly or with a 3-phase plug.
- Installation must be sourced and carried out by a qualified electrician, to be arranged by the customer.
- Installation and SANS347 verification codes are quoted separately from the unit price.
