Bulk capacity sterilizers for high-volume applications and vivarium sterilization

Chamber Construction

BMT USA Sterilab sterilizers are equipped with 316L stainless steel chambers for superior durability. The chamber door is also made from solid plate 316L stainless steel, ensuring the door will not warp over time. Precision machined door brackets for retaining the door on all four sides ensure smooth travel and improved security during the sterilization cycle. All chamber connections are sanitary clamp type and sloped to drain. Lubricant free door gaskets last longer and will eliminate particle shedding into laboratories or clean rooms.

Key Features:

Stainless Steel Chamber

The chamber and chamber door are constructed of 100% 316L stainless steel.

GMP-Ready Design

GMP-ready design allows for upgrading the sterilizer on-site to comply with cGMP guidelines if ever required.

Temperature Uniformity

Temperature distribution inside the chamber better than +/- 0.5°C

Energy Efficient

The chamber and all piping are fully insulated to help reduce utility consumption. Equipped water recirculation system reduces water consumption by up to 75%

PLC Controls

Industrial-grade Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC-based control systems deliver repeatable operation.

Non-Proprietary

Fully constructed with high-grade non-proprietary components for improved reliability and serviceability.

Lubricant-Free Door Gasket

Lubricant-free door gaskets provide greater longevity and eliminate particle shedding into clean rooms.

Automatic Doors

Automatic pneumatic driven precision sliding chamber doors improve safety and convenience during operation.

Configured to your exact process requirements

The industry's most customizable laboratory steam sterilizers, precision-engineered for your research

Sterilab sterilizers can be configured to meet your specific process requirements with custom options for size, chamber capacity and layout, allowing for perfect placement in your facility, while maintaining optimal loads. Additional options for single-door or pass-through, floor or pit mounting, integrated or standalone steam generator, and custom process recipes can further enhance the Sterilab’s functionality and versatility.
Examples of Sterilab configuration options:
  • Custom chamber size and capacity.
  • Right or left service area access.
  • Floor or pit mounting.
  • Integrated or remote controls.
  • Single-door or 2-door pass-through. 
  • Custom sterilization cycle recipes.
  • Integrated or standalone steam generator / electric or plant steam heated.
  • Bioseal
  • Custom loading equipment, including carts, trolleys, shelving and trays.

Sterilab Sterilization Cycles

Sterilab sterilizers can be programmed with any combination of dry goods and solution sterilization cycles, with configurable parameters for each cycle phase. The programmed cycle recipes are securely stored in the control system memory and can be effortlessly retrieved and initiated via the touchscreen operator interface. Unauthorized modifications are prevented through a multi-level authentication system, ensuring recipe integrity and operational compliance.

Dry Goods Cycle - Vacuum Drying

Effective sterilization of hard goods, filters, linens, porous materials, wrapped goods, and products that are unaffected by vacuum.

The load is preconditioned with alternating vacuum and steam pulses, then heated to an exposure temperature between 110°C and 135°C. The exposure temperature is maintained for a specified period, after which rapid drying begins with fast exhaust and pulling a deep vacuum.

Dry Goods Cycle - Vacuum Drying with Air Pulses

Effective sterilization of rubber stoppers, hoses, and other material where trapped moisture can be difficult to remove.

The load is preconditioned with alternating vacuum and steam pulses, then heated to an exposure temperature between 110°C and 135°C. The exposure temperature is maintained for a specified period, after which drying begins by fast exhaust, vacuum and air pulses which are highly effective in removing moisture from the load. The air pulses can also be heated to further aid the drying process.

Solution Cycle - Gravity Air Removal with Ramped Exhaust

Sterilization of liquids in vented or sealed glass containers

The load is preconditioned with steam pulses before heating to an exposure temperature between 110°C up to 135°C. The exposure temperature is held for a specified time period followed by a gradual exhaust ramping to cool the load back to ambient temperature.

Solution Cycle - Air Over-Pressure with Jacket Water Cooling

Sterilization of liquids in heat or pressure-sensitive containers

The load is preconditioned with steam pulses, then heated to an exposure temperature between 110°C and 135°C. The exposure temperature is maintained for a specified period, after which the cooling phase begins by injecting air at a pressure equal to that inside the product container to prevent damage or deformation. To accelerate cooling, cold water is introduced into the chamber jacket.

Sterilab Chamber Sizes

Sterilab Steam Sterilizers are offered in a range of chamber sizes and volumes. The table below contains some of our standard models; however, we can design and build a customized solution to match your exact chamber capacity, exterior dimension, and mounting requirements.
