Tuttnauer 3870 MLV 85L Vertical Top-Loading Autoclave – New

  • Model: 3870 MLV
  • 85L chamber
  • Semi-automatic
  • Manufacturer’s warranty 

Tuttnauer's MLV laboratory line of semi-automatic, electro-mechanically controlled, vertical steam sterilizers provide safe, economical, and effective sterilization.

This semi-automatic laboratory autoclave is an affordable sterilizer for laboratories that do not want to compromise on quality, safety, and reliability. This vertical loading autoclave liters has an 85 liter chamber. Process control is performed by a pressure switch. The manual control system includes a timer that can be set to 1 - 99 minutes.

The chamber of the 3870 MLV is constructed of long lasting 316L grade stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance. The autoclave is designed for easy servicing allowing maintenance access to all components. The exhaust drain is mixed with cold tap water that cools the exhaust’s temperature before reaching the drain.

The 3870 MLV’s lids are designed with a number of independent mechanical and digital safety features, such as a safety device that prevents the operator from opening the door when the chamber is pressurized; safety valves that discharge if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit; the inability to unlock until chamber pressure reaches room pressure; and a cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked.

The laboratory line features a user friendly, microprocessor control system which offers enhanced monitoring and control. The programs are designed to treat all load types including liquids, instruments and waste. All programs are fully customizable to suit the specific needs and requirements of the end user. The interface features high precision control system for perfect sterilization results; password protection allows for secure access control; independent temperature and pressure monitoring; cycle information recovery in the case of power failure or cycle interruption; Fail Alert – Indicates cycle failure or interruption; Door Alert – Indicates the door is unlocked; and an RS 232 PC Connection Port for direct software updates and remote maintenance.

Tuttnauer laboratory autoclaves have been designed to provide high quality repeatable performance and accountability for a wide range of applications used in modern laboratories. Time tested reliability and durability are built into every Tuttnauer product. With a presence in over 140 countries, Tuttnauer is a market leader in providing sterilization and infection control solutions for autoclaves in various industries such as hospitals, research institutes, clinics, and laboratories.
