1.1.2 Intended use
The MediaClave is a highly versatile piece of equipment. It operates as a stand-alone device used to pro-
gram and control three integrated operation modes: MEDIACLAVE, AUTOCLAVE and WATERBATH.
The MEDIACLAVE program is used to prepare culture media. Insertion of a stainless steel base plate and
flexible PT100 temperature probe converts the MediaClave into the AUTOCLAVE. The AUTOCLAVE pro-
gram is used as a bench-top autoclave for sterilisation of culture media in single containers. The WATER
BATH program is used as a conventional water bath.
NOTE:
