Program 3: Liquid A
For liquids when the manufacturer recommends autoclaving at
temperatures of 121
C (250
F) for 15 minutes.
Note: both PT100 temperature sensors must be inside the bottles
For proper sterilization, fill the bottles with approximately the same
amount of liquid.
Nominal parameters default settings
Sterilization temperature: 121
C (250
F)
Sterilization time: 15 minutes
Operations Sequence
(PV, pre-vacuum model only) Air removal stage; four vacuum pulses
removes air by drawing the chamber down to 20kPa.
Heating stage; steam enters the chamber and warms up until the
sterilization temperature is reached.
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant during the sterilization
time.
Slow exhaust; steam is slowly exhausted from the chamber, until it
reaches the required end temperature (approx. 85ºC) and the pressure
equals the atmospheric pressure.
