Product information

Tabletop Autoclave with 24 Liter Chamber for Prion Sterilization

The HMT 260MA Tabletop Autoclave offers a chamber volume of 24 liters, providing a compact sterilization solution for medical laboratories, microbiological facilities, and research labs. The working temperature of 121°C or 135°C enables safe sterilization of instruments, glassware, and liquids. Thanks to the chamber pressure-dependent safety lock and the automatic low-water protection, the unit operates reliably and safely. With 24 installed programs, the autoclave covers a wide range of applications, including special programs for prion sterilization and the BOWIE-DICK test.

The pre-vacuum function guarantees a safe sterilization result by completely removing air from the chamber, while the drying vacuum ensures hygienically dry instruments. The microprocessor control system automatically monitors every work step and signals once the cycle has been correctly completed. The chamber measures 260 mm in diameter and 450 mm in height, with compact external dimensions of 655 x 533 x 442 mm. The power consumption is 2.4 kW at 230 volts, the unit weighs 52 kg net, and it features a water tank with a volume of 4.2 liters.

The HMT 260MA combines automatic program operation with dual safety through low-water protection and pressure control. For extended applications, our refrigeration technology solutions are also suitable for the proper storage of sterilized samples. Ultra-low temperature freezers complement sterilization optimally.
