The Benchmark Research Products B4000 BioClave Mini Benchtop Digital Research Autoclave is an electric device with an 8 L chamber capacity used for steam sterilizing laboratory equipment, and a footprint designed for fitting on laboratory bench tops. The autoclave digitally displays two selectable temperatures (either 121 or 134 degrees C) and a selection of preset sterilization programs, including an unwrapped, wrapped, liquid, or dry cycle. The autoclave features two trays for maximizing space in the chamber by holding instruments, liquids, laboratory equipment and other items to be sterilized. The maximum pressure and load weight depend on the object being sterilized. The BioClave mini benchtop autoclave is commonly used in laboratories where there is minimal space because the device has a small footprint in comparison to larger autoclaves. The chamber capacity is 8 L and dimensions are 17 x 31cm (6.7 x 12.5 inches) (W x L); tray dimensions are 12 x 24.8 cm (4.75 x 9.75 inches); exterior dimensions are 33 x 51 x 34 x cm (12.9 x 20 x 13.5 x inches) (H x W x D ), and it weighs 33kg (74lbs). Electrical: 120V, 60Hz, 950W. Maximum pressure is 29 PSI/2 Bar (pounds per square inch). It meets European Economic Community (EEC) Council Directive 93/42/EEC standards and a one year warranty is included. Autoclaves are ovens that sterilize laboratory instruments and can kill bacteria, viruses or both. They are often used in laboratories to sterilize lab equipment, media and liquids, and can be designed to meet different health, safety, and environmental standards. Benchmark Scientific manufactures laboratory products and devices such as autoclaves, sterilizers, centrifuges, mixers, shakers, hotplates, stirrers, water baths, glassware, and agarose. The company, founded in 2008, is headquartered in South Plainfield, NJ.
