Cloud-based connectivity and advanced technical support

The TLV-S Series offers cloud-based connectivity for equipment management and technical assistance. Users can request technical support directly from the controller, share the screen through TeamViewer, and authorize remote equipment diagnostics.

The cloud platform also enables centralized management of multiple autoclaves, tailored reporting, multi-device notifications, and automatic traceability for audits. All data is protected with SSL encryption. The management software can also be integrated into a private server environment using Docker, Active Directory, or LIMS.

Applications of the TLV-S Series

The TLV-S Series is suitable for sterilizing a variety of laboratory materials, including:

Culture media and liquids
Plastics
Metal objects
Glassware
Laboratory waste bags
Biohazardous waste

Sterilization process

The sterilization cycle begins with a prevacuum phase, during which a single vacuum pulse removes the chamber air. The system then injects saturated steam until it reaches the required temperature.

Once the target temperature has been achieved, it is maintained for the predefined sterilization time. After the sterilization phase is complete, the cycle finishes with a natural cooling stage.

A multipurpose vertical laboratory autoclave is a top‑loading sterilization system designed to process both solid and liquid laboratory loads. It is commonly used in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research environments where reliable, high‑capacity steam sterilization is required.

The TLV‑S Series vertical laboratory autoclaves are used for sterilizing solid and liquid loads in pharmaceutical, biotech, and research laboratories. They are designed to support routine and critical sterilization processes while ensuring full compliance with regulated laboratory standards.

F₀‑controlled sterilization is a method that calculates the lethality of the sterilization process based on time and temperature. In the TLV‑S Series, flexible probes measure product temperature directly, allowing precise sterilization control for liquid loads and improved process validation.

Yes, the TLV‑S Series is designed to comply with FDA, GMP, and GLP requirements by integrating secure electronic records, digital data control, and traceability features suitable for regulated laboratory environments.

A vertical autoclave is loaded from the top and is often preferred for liquid loads and space‑efficient installations, while a horizontal autoclave is front‑loading and typically used for higher throughput and larger batch processing.

A vertical laboratory autoclave sterilizes materials using saturated steam under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The process typically includes a prevacuum phase, steam injection, a sterilization holding phase, and a cooling phase to complete the cycle safely.

The prevacuum phase removes air from the sterilization chamber before steam is introduced. Removing air improves steam penetration and helps achieve more uniform sterilization throughout the load.
