HP Medizintechnik

The German original.

Performance you can trust –
with the modularity to meet your needs

HP Medizintechnik GmbH VARIOKLAV laboratory autoclaves are designed and manufactured to exacting quality standards for safe, reproducible steam sterilisation performance.

Easy, efficient, reliable.
Ideally suited for laboratories where space is at a premium, our VARIOKLAV range spans slimline floor model and compact tabletop autoclaves with capacities from 25 to 200 litres.

Units are fully equipped for routine sterilisation tasks in laboratories, and can be customized with a variety of modules to provide unmatched versatility for specialist processes and high throughput applications.

• Four standard programs for safe sterilisation of liquids, culture media, equipment and waste
• Fast, optimized deaeration with steam flushing and up to eight pressure changes
• Fast heating and cool-down for rapid throughput
• All processes can be validated
• Almost all modules are retrofittable

HP Medizintechnik GmbH is a certified manufacturer of steam sterilisers for medical purposes according to the German Medical Devices Act (MPG)

Uniquely small due to the space-saving steam generator VARIOKLAV laboratory autoclaves are characterized by their compact size. They are equipped with an ultra-flat steam generator that reduces external autoclave dimensions to a minimum..		Separation of the steam generator and sterilisation chamber maximizes the usable space capacity and eliminates chamber fittings. Neither heating elements nor feed water inside the chamber obstruct the loading, the unloading or the cleaning.
	The separate steam generator prevents contamination of feed water by condensate, waste or media.

Customer-oriented solutions for the steam sterilisation

Versatile and expandable modules for individual requirements
The VARIOKLAV models can be optimally configured for a variety of application due to this wide selection. Standard units can be equipped with many different modules, enabling:
• High throughput by fast cooling sterilisation of liquids and culture media
• Sterilisation of solids and porous goods with pre-vacuum (waste) and additionally with drying vacuum (e.g. glass)
• Exhaust-air filtration with condensate sterilisation
• GLP/GMP sterilisation cycle traceability
• Chamber extension and variable equipment options for special applications available on demand
• Media temperature-controlled timing module for sterilising large liquid volumes or documenting reaction times

Compact and economic
• Low power requirements
• Low feed water consumption of only 0.4 to 6 litres per charge
• Small footprint, as laboratory space is expensive
• Easy setup

Easy and comfortable to use
Every VARIOKLAV autoclave is equipped with the same, easy-to-use control interface. All phases of the sterilisation process run automatically. Frequently used programs can be initiated with a single button press.
• Fast-close, easy-open lid/door lock mechanism operates at the touch of a button
• Pneumatic support lifts lid on floor model autoclaves
• Automatic water filling from water source or tank
• Low deck height on floor models for easier loading and unloading

Improved safety
Our VARIOKLAV autoclaves are designed with utmost operator safety in mind. They comply with the DIN 58951-2 standard, and are certified to Category I or II under the European Pressure Equipment Directive.
The sterilising chamber is manufactured from 1.4571 titanium-reinforced stainless steel in accordance with EN 10028-7 standards.

Efficient, safe sterilisation
Precise temperature control ensures reproducible cycles and delivers reliable sterilisation without overheating or damage to media.
• Measurements from up to four temperature sensors are continuously compared to exact reference values
• VARIOKLAV autoclave sterilising chamber can be pre-heated while the operator prepares the load, reducing the heating time of a cold unit.

Safe operation Steam pressure that impacts on lids and doors is evenly distributed across multiple points on the closing ring of the fast closing system, ensuring maximum safety. Two pressure sensors check for complete pressure release before VARIOKLAV autoclaves can be opened. Air operated valves instead of solenoid valves require low maintenance and are reliably pressure and vacuum tight.

Unique fingertip fast closing system Safe, quick and convenient – our automatic closing mechanism allows the opening and closing of the VARIOKLAV floor or tabletop autoclave at one touch of the button. A pneumatic silicone seal secures the chamber for perfect pressure and vacuum tightness.
