Temperature and time settings are fully adjustable within the operating range of the autoclave.

Safety
Pressure vessels are fully CE marked and insurance approved to the European PED 97/23/EC. The autoclaves fully conform to BS2646-1993, BS5500 Cat.3, and EMC directives, amongst others.
The autoclave door is fully interlocked for safety with a special safety gate mechanism, which cracks the gasket seal allowing any residual pressure to safely escape. A thermal cooling lock, preventing the door from being opened until the contents have cooled to a safe temperature is also fitted along with a pressure interlock. A low water level sensor, to guard against boil-dry conditions and a safety blow down valve afford further protection.
Epoxy coated panels and frame members are treated with the unique Biocote® anti-bacterial agent, which is effective against all bacteria and fungi including MRSA.
