06/07/2002
(OSAKA, Japan; and BENSENVILLE, IL USA) -- SANYO Electric Biomedical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan, (distributed by SANYO Biomedical, Bensenville, IL) has introduced the MLS-Series high-pressure autoclave developed for on-demand sterilization in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and university laboratories and other life science settings. The self-contained, top-loading autoclave is available in 50-liter (Model MLS-3750) and 75-liter (Model MLS-3780) capacities.
Ideal for culture media preparation and labware and waste sterilization, the high-capacity autoclave provides a safe, reliable sterilizing function in a low-profile design for easy loading and unloading. The MLS-Series’ spacing-saving design and ergonomic features, including easy-movement casters, allow for trouble-free maneuverability from one lab to another.
SANYO MLS-Series Autoclave Features and Benefits
Microprocessor controls assure accurate temperature control with one-touch operation.
- Pre-programmed functions offer flexibility in ramp up, dwell, ramp down and cool-off protocols.
- Energy-saving design decreases operating costs.
- Double safety interlocks include temperature/pressure sensors that control the chamber and open/close lever, prohibiting opening until temperature and pressure levels are safe.
- Swing-top lid opens chamber to 100 percent access; eliminates side space requirement.
- The 75-liter autoclave offers the same footprint as the 50-liter model.
- Chamber access is only 25.3” (641mm) from the floor (50 liter model), permitting easy loading of sterilizing basket.

- The 50-liter model can accommodate two sterilizing baskets, while the 75-liter model can hold up to three baskets.
- Baskets are included.
- Exhaust valve release temperature can be set for automatic release after completion of sterilizing cycle.
