Automatic lid opening and closing system
The lid can be opened / closed just by pressing the switch. Operators can work safely and smoothly without approaching their hands to the chamber opening when opening / closing the lid.

Electro-mechanical lid lock system II
Inside the body there are several high rigid sliders which interlock in the circumferential direction.
The electro-mechanical lid lock system II employs the automatic slide lock method that can securely lock the lid by engaging the sliders with the guides provided around the lid.

Dual interlock mechanism
The lid is locked by dually detecting the chamber pressure and chamber temperature during operation.
The lock state is maintained even if an operation is manually interrupted.

Lock release temperature setting
The lid lock release temperature can be set for every mode and memory number within the range of 60°C  to 97°C.

Forced cooling unit
After sterilization, the chamber pressure is lowered by cooling with a fan to shorten the time to unloading.

Dual detection system for residual air
The residual air which may cause sterilization failure is dually detected to always maintain the appropriate sterilization conditions for loads.

• The residual air is detected at the process before pressurization (during operation of an air removal timer) and at the process of pressurization air exhaust.

Exhaust level setting
An exhaust level can be selected from four levels.
Fine exhaust can be performed automatically, and fine exhaust adjustment is possible even in exhaust.

Condensation treatment of steam to reduce unpleasant steam emissions
The steam emitted at exhaust is condensed by a water-cooling unit.
The steam containing unpleasant odors, discharged into the room is reduced.

Air removal time setting
The air removal time that is effective for sterilization of Durham tubes etc. can be set.

Notification of drainage bottle status
Full water state of a drainage bottle is automatically detected and the state is notified with lamp and sound.

Memory function
There are 3 memories for each mode and the set contents are registered.

Programmable auto-start function
This is a timer function that starts an operation at the set time.

EU model available
EU Model:Products compliant with european Standards (ENs)

Operation Cycle of Each Mode

MODE 1: LIQUID		Heating		Sterilization		Variable exhaust
Main applications: Sterilization of liquid, which can withstand high temperature and high pressure steam such as water, culture medium, reagent, reagent solution, liquid medicine, etc., and sterilization of waste using sterilization bag.
MODE 2: AGAR		Heating		Sterilization		Variable exhaust		Warming
Main applications: Sterilization of agar medium (It is warmed at constant temperature to prevent clotting after sterilization.)
MODE 3: SOLID		Heating		Sterilization		Forced exhaust
Main applications: Sterilization of instruments made of glass, ceramic, metal or rubber that can withstand high temperature, high pressure steam and rapid pressure reduction during exhaust.
MODE4: DISSOLUTION		Heating		Warming
Main applications: Dissolution of agar medium (It is warmed at constant temperature to prevent clotting after heating.)

Options for Upgrading a System

Recorder	Automatic water supply	Floating sensor
(Image is a chart type recorder.)  - Chart type recorder: 6-point dotting  - Hybrid recorder: 8-point dotting Chart width: 100 mm Class 2 T-type thermocouple included	Manual water supply to the chamber becomes unnecessary.	A sterilization timer operates after the temperature of the materials to be sterilzed reaches the set temperature.

Option

Stainless steel round wire basket	Stainless steel sterilization bucket (without hole)	Stainless steel sterilization bucket (with holes)	Stainless steel round wire basket with solid bottom
[For HG-50?HG-80] φ338 x H220 mm	[For HG-50] φ330 x H185 mm [For HG-80] φ330 x H270 mm	[For HG-50] φ330 x H185 mm [For HG-80] φ330 x H270 mm	It is recommended to use when using a sterilization bag. A large capacity and bucket-shape bottom can prevent the chamber from being contaminated when a sterilization bag is broken. [For HG-50] φ330 x H430 mm [For HG-80] φ330 x H690 mm Use a sterilization bag without closing the mouth.

Detergent for autoclave	Sterilization bag	Deodorizer
Detergent to remove culture media, water scale sticked to the inside of a chamber [Standard amount of use] 1 cap of detergent in 2 L of water (20 ml - 1%) Take out the materials at the time of use. 500 ml	Special structure reinforced film. Heat resistant temperature is 130°C [Type: A] 200 pcs 500 x 700 mm [Type: B] 200 pcs 620 x 820 mm Use it without closing the mouth.	Deodorizer for the "unpleasant odor" generated during sterilization of culture media etc. It melts smoothly in the sterilization process and exerts a deodorization effect. Standard amount of deodorant according to the autoclave capacity less than 40 L: 2-3 T at once from 40 L to 60 L: 4 T at once from 60 L to 100 L: 6 T at once 100 T / bottle

Sterilization tape, Sterilization label, Sterilization bag
Sterilization tape: Clear color change makes it easy to identify exposure to sterilization process. Sterilization label: Paste directly on the object to be sterilized, you can check the sterilization treatment. After sterilization, the letters "sterilized" appear and it can be easily distinguished from untreated materials. Sterilization bag: There are sterilization bags that are made of paper, roll type or one seal back type. Most of them are heat seal type, but tape seal type and aluminum plate seal type can be also available. Ask us for prices and more details.
