Processing Cycles:
This scientific sterilizer is factory programmed with the following cycles:
- Prevacuum Cycle: for efficient, high-volume sterilization of porous, heat- and moisture-stable materials in the temperature range of 121°C to 137°C. The prevacuum cycle uses a mechanical air evacuation system.
- Gravity Cycle: for the sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable goods in the range of 100°C to 137°C), and decontamination of bagged basic laboratory wastes. The gravity cycle uses the gravity air-displacement principle.
- Liquid Cycle: for sterilization of liquids and media in vented borosilicate glass or metal containers in the range of 100°C to 123°C. Liquid cycle uses the optimal solution cooling feature during the exhaust (cooling) phase to control the exhaust rate.
- USP 660 Cycle (standard) developed to assist meeting the requirements of USP 660 sterilization test cycle for glassware. Load probe option is recommended when using the USP cycle.
- Continuous Cycle (standard) This cycle allows for up to 9,999 cycles to be run consecutively without the need of an operator. Cycle parameters can be set, along with the amount of time to lapse in between cycles.
- Waste Bag Cycle (standard) comes configured with cycle parameters shown to be effective when processing lab waste in autoclavable bags. Through air removal assistance and a controlled exhaust, the internal temperature is increased more effectively and faster, while minimizing boil over of any liquids present. Parameters may need to be adjusted based on specific loads. Bags should not be completely sealed.
- ATF 1 and ATF 2 Cycles (Alternating Tangential Flow) are designed to sterilize the XCell™ ATF system. These can be used for other purposes that require rates and hold times in the pre-conditioning pulses.
- Healthcare Cycles – The LS Series sterilizers can be programmed to reproduce cycles that are used for healthcare applications, however, these sterilizers do not have FDA clearance and cannot be used for patient treatment applications.
Breakdown of Prevacuum vs. Gravity
- Gravity - designed for sterilization of liquids in flasks with vented closures, at 250°F (121°C), and also heat- and moisture-stabile goods at 270°F (132°C).
- Prevacuum – designed for efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisture-stabile materials, such as fabrics, wrapped hard goods, glassware or animal bedding, at 270°F (132°C). Prevacuum units will also run gravity-type cycles.
Gravity units operate by the gravity downward displacement air-removal principle. Prevacuum sterilizers have a chamber evacuation system for high-speed, high-volume sterilization. Both types use steam-under-pressure as the sterilizing agent.
