Q. What is the difference between the gravity and pre-vacuum cycle? Can I use them for liquids?
A. Gravity Cycle is for sterilization of heat and moisture-stable goods at 100° to 137°C (212° to 279°F), and decontamination of bagged basic laboratory wastes. Gravity cycle utilizes the gravity air-displacement principle. Liquid Cycle – for the sterilization of liquids and media in vented borosilicate glass or metal containers at 100° to 123°C (212° to 254°F). Liquid cycle utilizes the optimal solution cooling feature, during exhaust (cooling) phase, to control the exhaust rate. Prevacuum Cycle – for efficient, high-volume sterilization of porous, heat- and moisture-stable materials at 121° to 137°C (250° to 279°F). Prevacuum cycle utilizes a mechanical air-evacuation system.
