HV-85 Hirayama Automatic High Pressure Autoclave

Hirayama top-loading autoclaves are labeled and distributed for research use only. They are fully automatic, stand-alone, microprocessor-controlled, programmable systems. All models incorporate a built-in steam generator and plug into a standard 120VAC (or 220VAC) power outlet, thereby eliminating costly set-up charges. Water for steam generation is poured directly into the chamber. After sterilization, steam is vented automatically into a plastic bottle in front of the autoclave.

• HV-85 size: 85 liters: 16.5" diameter, 24.2" height
• Space-saving design with lid opening upward
• Programmable auto-start for initiating a cycle up to 1 week later
• Dual-sensing lid interlock prevents lid opening when chamber is pressurized or when temperature exceeds 97°C
• Automatic air purging by a microprocessor prevents over-pressurization during a cycle
• One-touch lever to easily open and close chamber lid
• Programmable rate of steam exhaust
• Door-closure sensor provides a prompt and the cycle will not start unless the door is closed properly
• In-process display shows status and progress of sterilization cycle
• Agar sterilization mode for sterilizing agar and then automatically maintaining it at liquid temperature
• Unique accessory: Floating sensor to monitor load temperature
• Sterilization timer is activated only when load temperature reaches set temperature
• Agar melting mode for rapidly melting agar and maintaining it at liquid temperature, or for a hot and faster start-up
• Memory backup system retains user-programmed parameters even in case of power failure
