Systec Autoclave 150 L capacity
Vertical Bench-Top Autoclave VE-150, 150 l Chamber Volume
for basic laboratory applications with several options for process optimization
Product information
Vertical Steam Sterilization for Laboratory Routine with 150 Liters
The Floor-Standing Autoclave VE-150 is suitable for simple laboratory applications in research, microbiology, and diagnostics that still require options for process optimization. With a chamber volume of 150 liters (166 liters total) at 500 mm diameter and 750 mm depth, it offers space for glassware, culture media, and instruments in laboratories with medium throughput.
The fully automatic microprocessor control with 12 programs allows individual temperature and time settings for solids, liquids, and waste sterilization. The autoclave reaches a sterilization temperature of up to 140°C at a steam pressure of up to 4 bar. The pressure vessel made of stainless steel 1.4571 (V4A) is electropolished and chemical-resistant, with a heating output of 9.3 kW.
The VE-150 offers a solid, flexible sterilization solution for daily laboratory operation. Learn more about the suitable cooling technology for water-cooled exhaust steam condensation in our range. Request a quote for the VE-150 now!
Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What is the Floor-Standing Autoclave VE-150 used for?
The VE-150 is used for sterilizing laboratory items such as instruments, plastic articles, liquids, and waste materials using steam. It is designed for simple laboratory applications with some options for process optimization.
What technical specifications are decisive for the VE-150?
Decisive factors are the chamber volume of 150 liters (166 liters total), the sterilization temperature of up to 140°C, and the permissible operating pressure of 4 bar absolute. The heating output is 9.3 kW.
Which laboratories is the VE-150 suitable for?
The VE-150 is aimed at laboratories in research, microbiology, medicine, and pharmaceuticals that need a floor-standing autoclave with a 150-liter chamber volume for simple yet flexible sterilization processes.
How does the VE-150 differ from more sophisticated autoclaves?
Unlike devices in the VX series, which are designed for demanding validatable processes, the VE-150, as a VE model, offers basic programs and options for process optimization for simple laboratory applications.
What maintenance or connections does the VE-150 require during operation?
The VE-150 requires an electrical connection with 380-400V/16A, a connection for demineralized water (3/4"), and a drain (3/4"). A printer connection and rapid cooling are optionally available for retrofitting.
Technical data & description
Total/nominal chamber volume 166/150 l
Standard equipment includes:
• Fully automatic microprocessor control with 12 programs:
Individual program parameters such as temperature and time can be selected and stored individually for each program.
Programs 1-3: Quick program for solids, instruments, devices, plastic articles with rapid steam exhaust
Programs 4-5: For waste in sterilization bags with pulsating heating phase for improved venting of sterilization bags
Programs 6-7: For liquid waste sterilization with slow steam exhaust. (Or rapid cooling as option)
Programs 8-11: For liquids with subsequent controlled steam exhaust and self-cooling (Or rapid cooling as option)
Program 12: Cleaning program with rapid steam exhaust
Validation, Documentation:
For the introduction of external temperature sensors for validation purposes, a validation port 1/2" is available. For the documentation of program sequences, various systems are optionally available ranging from built-in printer to PC software via RS 232 interface or separate data loggers for GMP-compliant documentation.
