Systec Autoclave 120 L capacity
Vertical Stand Autoclave VX-120, 120 l Chamber Volume
for demanding sterilization processes with all options for process optimization
Product information
Fully Automatic Floor-Standing Autoclave for Validated Sterilization Processes
The Floor-Standing Autoclave VX-120 with 120 liter chamber volume is suitable for demanding sterilization processes in microbiology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical laboratories. With 12 individually programmable cycles, the device covers the sterilization of solids, instruments, liquids, and waste in disposal bags. Ideal for facilities with high documentation and validation requirements.
The fully automatic microprocessor control operates with temperature and steam pressure up to 140°C / 4 bar. A separate steam generator, electronic pressure transducer, and a 1/2" validation port enable GMP-compliant documentation. The heating power is 9.0 kW at 380-400V connection, and the device is prepared for rapid cooling, vacuum, and drying.
With extensive process optimization and validation options, the VX-120 offers a powerful solution for professional sterilization requirements. Further information on suitable systems can be found in the Refrigeration Technology and Cryotechnology sections. Request an individual quote now!
