Systec Autoclave 150 L capacity
Vertical Standalone Autoclave VX-150, Chamber Volume 160/150 l (total, nominal)
for demanding sterilization processes with all options for process optimization
Product information
160-Liter Sterilization with 12 Validatable Programs
The vertical floor-standing autoclave VX-150 is designed for demanding sterilization processes in research laboratories, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to a validation port and RS232 interface, the laboratory autoclave is also suitable for GMP-compliant documentation and the sterilization of culture media, instruments, and waste.
With a chamber volume of 166/150 l (diameter 500 mm, depth 750 mm) and 12 freely programmable cycles, the VX-150 covers a wide range of sterilization tasks. Temperature and pressure reach up to 140°C/4 bar, expandable to 150°C/5 bar. An integrated separate steam generator and autofill water supply ensure reliable processes with a heating output of 9.0 kW.
The VX-150 combines a large chamber volume with comprehensive process optimization for validatable sterilization cycles. For more information on suitable laboratory technology solutions, please visit Cooling technology for laboratories. Enquire now, without obligation!
Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What is the VX-150 used for?
The autoclave is used for the sterilization of solids, instruments, and liquids, as well as the destruction sterilization of waste, using 12 individually selectable programs.
What temperature and pressure does the device reach?
The VX-150 operates at an operating temperature of up to 140°C and an operating pressure of up to 4 bar, optionally expandable to 150°C/5 bar.
Which laboratories is the VX-150 suitable for?
Thanks to a validation port, RS232 interface, and optional documentation systems, the device is particularly suitable for research laboratories, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical facilities with GMP requirements.
How does the VX-150 differ from simpler autoclaves?
While simpler models only offer basic options, the VX-150 provides comprehensive capabilities for process optimization, validation, and precise documentation of sterilization cycles.
What accessories or maintenance are required?
The device is prepared for the subsequent installation of a printer, rapid cooling, vacuum equipment, and drying. The warranty covers 1 year for material and manufacturing defects, 3 years for heating elements, and 5 years for pressure vessels and locking mechanisms.
