LABORATORY AUTOCLAVE (Tuttnauer 2540EL)
March 2019: no longer produced and replaced by the new model Tuttnauer 2840EL-D (ELAEAUTE02- -) (see “replaced by” at bottom of the page).
Definition
Benchtop steam autoclave for laboratory use, for the sterilisation of the media, material and destruction of biohazard waste.
The Tuttnauer benchtop is a front loading laboratory autoclave. With higher capacities and better performance, the Tuttnauer 2540 EL provides safe, economical and effective sterilization. The EL models have an advanced microprocessor based control panel.
Integrated reservoir for water feed, with water level control and steam recirculation saves on demineralized water consumption and enables the autoclave to be independent of a water supply. External heating elements make the sterilizer easy to clean.
The 2540 EL autoclave is specially and exclusively designed for use in the laboratory. Indeed, in addition to all the elements of a hospital autoclave, it is equipped with an onboard temperature probe to be placed in a vial of control liquid so that the autoclave can regulate temperature and pressure more precisely possible with regard to the liquid charge that must be sterilized. This probe will also allow at the end of the cycle to ensure that the temperature of the sterilized liquid is low enough that the bottle can be recovered. Due to the presence of a liquid, the bottle will take longer to cool down than the chamber of the autoclave.

RS 232 PC Connection Port for direct software updates and remote maintenance
- Daily:
- Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth. The gasket should be clean and smooth.
- Weekly:
- Remove the tray and clean it
- Clean and descale the chamber, the copper pipes and the tank
- Put a few drops of oil on the two door pins and door tightening bolts.
- Clean outer parts of the autoclave with a soft cloth.
- Drain out the vessel and fill it with demineralized or distilled water
- Clean the electrode with a soft cloth.
- Periodically:
- Check the door gasket every 12 months and replace it if required.
- Once a year check and tighten the piping joints to avoid leakage.
- Once a year check and tighten all screw connections in the control box, heaters, valves and instrumentation.
- Once a month clean the strainer.
- Every 6 months, clean the ventilator grid
- Periodical Tests:
- Once every month activate and check the safety valve.
