Vertical laboratory autoclaves with drying
The AE-DRY Series vertical autoclaves meet the sterilization needs of industrial, educational, and research facilities with the aim of boosting productivity and minimizing each sterilization cycle’s turnaround time. There is no need to dry the load in an external oven.
Designed for sterilizing bagged solid loads, porous and hollow objects, glass, plastics, metal utensils, and laboratory waste bags. They can also process liquids and culture media.
The versatility to process all types of loads, the final drying function, and the highest degree of automation, along with greater efficiency in resource consumption such as water, energy, and operational time, result in a cost-efficient solution for managing the laboratory’s workload.
Save time thanks to the final drying function
Thanks to its final drying function using a heating jacket and vacuum pump, the load will be completely dry at the end of the cycle, eliminating the need to dry the load in an external oven, thus gaining convenience and saving handling time.
Optimized sterilizations and higher degree of automation
Mechanical purge through a vacuum pump to remove air pockets and improve steam penetration. Specific programs for liquids. Includes a bacteriological filter and an independent water tank that can be equipped with an automatic filling kit for seamless operation.
Customize with a range of accessories
Choose the baskets and crane that best fit your needs. Install a flexible probe for more accurate and safe sterilization of liquids. Record and analyze your processes with dedicated software or an embedded printer. You can also enhance the heating capacity of your unit to save time.
Operation
Temperature
Pressure
Operation
The cold air in the chamber is mechanically purged to the outside through a vacuum pulse, reducing the presence of non-condensable gases and facilitating steam penetration throughout the load.
Temperature
Pressure
After completing the first vacuum pulse, the heating elements heat up water to produce saturated steam, which expels the cold air outward until the sterilization temperature is reached in the chamber.
Temperature
Pressure
Upon reaching the sterilization temperature in the medium, the sterilization phase begins and the temperature is accurately sustained for the predefined duration. Antibiotics, pH correctors or thermolabile ingredients can be dispensed at any time using the external dispensing ports.
Temperature
Pressure
In programs for solid loads, after the sterilization phase is completed, the vacuum pump and heating jacket are activated simultaneously to expel all moisture and completely dry the load through the use of multiple vacuum pulses. Conversely, in programs for liquid loads, this drying phase is not performed.
Temperature
Pressure
After the load is fully dry, a natural cooling phase begins, ending once the temperature drops to a level that's safe for handling the load without burning oneself. Then, the door can be unlocked, and the load can be taken out. Optionally, the agar mode can be configured to maintain a constant temperature.

Applications
GLASSWARE
In programs for solid loads, the heating jacket and vacuum pump are activated at the end of the sterilization phase to completely dry the load.
LABORATORY WASTE BAGS
The mechanical purge of air using the vacuum pump facilitates the posterior penetration of steam, facilitating the sterilization of porous items. Moreover, at the end of the cycle, they will be dry thanks to the drying function. Chemical and/or biological tests must be used to validate the proper sterilization of the load.
POROUS SOLIDS AND WRAPPED OBJECTS
The mechanical purge of air using the vacuum pump facilitates the posterior penetration of steam, facilitating the sterilization of porous items. Moreover, at the end of the cycle, they will be dry thanks to the drying function. Chemical and/or biological tests must be used to validate the proper sterilization of the load.
LIQUIDS AND CULTURE MEDIA
Specific programs for liquid loads. The agar mode maintains the temperature and prevents culture media from gelling. Installing a flexible probe allows for more precise sterilization of liquid loads.
PLASTICS AND METAL OBJECTS
In programs for solid loads, the heating jacket and vacuum pump are activated at the end of the sterilization phase to completely dry the load.
