Cole-Parmer Mini Research Autoclave, 8 L; 115 VAC

Description

The Cole-Parmer Mini Research Autoclave is a compact benchtop sterilizer with an 8-liter chamber capacity, operating on 115 VAC power. It is designed for small-scale laboratory, clinical, or educational settings where space is constrained but reliable steam sterilization is required. The unit uses pressurized saturated steam to achieve sterilization conditions, typically at temperatures of 121°C or 134°C, to decontaminate instruments, glassware, media, and waste. Common features include automated cycles, safety interlocks, and a stainless-steel pressure vessel. Its smaller size makes it suitable for individual labs or for processing loads that do not require a large central autoclave. The 115-volt configuration allows for connection to standard North American electrical outlets.
