Autoclaving is a commonly used sterilization method in biological experiments, widely applied in universities, medical and health institutions, food and chemical companies, and pharmaceutical enterprises. It is frequently used in laboratories, making the selection of a high-performance, reliable model crucial. However, the market offers numerous autoclave brands with varying quality. How then should one choose a suitable autoclave?
**Ease of Operation:** Currently, sterilizers on the market can be categorized into semi-automatic and fully automatic types based on their level of automation. From a user's perspective, the convenience of a fully automatic sterilizer is obvious. Users can schedule sterilization times, saving waiting time and significantly improving work efficiency. The STIK fully automatic autoclave features one-button operation; simply place the sample in the sterilization chamber and double-click the START button to automatically complete the heating, sterilization, and heat preservation functions. A cooling fan is standard to shorten sterilization time. To cater to diverse user preferences, not only are different sizes available, but models with water replenishment and automatic drying are also available as options.
**Operational Ease:** Some pharmaceutical companies also require data traceability. We offer dot matrix printers for users to choose from, capable of printing parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time.
Safety Features: The principle of an autoclave is basically the same as that of a pressure cooker. STIK autoclaves typically rely on temperature sensors to control temperature and have pressure sensors. They automatically cut off the power in case of abnormal temperature or pressure, ensuring safety, which is safer than relying solely on a pressure gauge. In addition, there are dual over-temperature protection and dual over-pressure protection to ensure that temperature and pressure do not become abnormal. Other safety features include a water shortage protection function to prevent dry burning, and an electronic lock that can only be opened when the instrument temperature drops below 80 degrees Celsius to prevent accidental burns. Thoroughly understanding the safety features of the instrument before purchasing is essential, as safety is paramount in any situation. Sterilizers are special equipment; components like safety valves and pressure gauges require annual inspection. STIK's attention to detail demonstrates complete consideration for the user. The new autoclave's pressure gauge is a snap-on type, which can be disassembled without any tools.
After-sales service: STIK has offices in most cities across the country, providing product sales and technical support anytime, anywhere.
