Description

Benchtop Steam Autoclave for Clinical & Laboratory Sterilization

The Tuttnauer 2340M is a 19-liter benchtop steam autoclave designed for small to mid-volume sterilization in clinical and laboratory environments. It features a manual door, 9" x 18" chamber, and built-in safety systems that prevent operation under unsafe pressure, overheating, or low water conditions.

What Does This Autoclave Do?

This unit uses pressurized steam sterilization to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and spores from instruments, glassware, and lab tools.

Key Features That Matter

  • Reliable 19L Steam Sterilization Capacity
    Designed for consistent sterilization of instruments, glassware, and lab tools, the 9" x 18" chamber supports small to mid-volume workflows without compromising performance.
  • 316L Stainless Steel Chamber with Electro-Polish Finish
    Built for durability under repeated high-pressure cycles, the corrosion-resistant chamber ensures long-term reliability in demanding lab environments.
  • Manual Door with Pressure-Activated Safety Lock
    Prevents the door from opening while the chamber is pressurized, reducing the risk of operator exposure to high-temperature steam.
  • Door Failure Protection System
    Adds an extra layer of safety by preventing accidental opening under unsafe pressure conditions.
  • Automatic Overheat Protection
    Shuts down the unit if temperatures exceed safe limits, protecting both the equipment and the user.
  • Low Water Detection with Automatic Shutoff
    Stops operation when water levels are insufficient, preventing damage and unsafe sterilization cycles.
  • Flexible Loading with Tray and Cassette Capacity
    Includes three trays and supports two full or two half cassettes, allowing efficient organization of instruments during sterilization.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the Tuttnauer 2340M fully automatic?

No. This model uses manual operation and does not include programmable sterilization cycles. It is best suited for users who prefer direct control over the sterilization process.

What type of sterilization does this autoclave use?

It uses pressurized steam sterilization, which is effective for eliminating bacteria, viruses, and spores from instruments and lab equipment.

Can this unit handle high-volume sterilization workflows?

No. With a 19-liter chamber, it is designed for small to mid-volume use. High-throughput environments should consider larger capacity or automated autoclaves.

What safety features are included to prevent accidents?

The unit includes a pressure-activated door lock, door failure protection, automatic overheating shutoff, and a low-water detection system to ensure safe operation.

What happens if the water level is too low during operation?

The autoclave automatically shuts off to prevent overheating and equipment damage, ensuring safe use.

Is this autoclave suitable for regulated clinical or laboratory environments?

Yes, it is designed for professional use. However, facilities should verify specific compliance requirements before purchasing.

Does the manual door affect usability compared to automatic models?

Yes. A manual door requires operator involvement for opening and closing, which may slow workflow compared to fully automatic models but offers more direct control.
