About the Tuttnauer 3870 MLV Manual Laboratory Sterilizer
The Tuttnauer 3870 MLV handles the full range of laboratory sterilization tasks without the complexity of fully automated systems. Unlike basic tabletop units, it processes everything from liquid media to contaminated waste with dedicated programs for each load type.
The electro-mechanical controls give you direct oversight of each cycle while multiple safety interlocks prevent operator error. Worth noting: the pressure-activated door lock won’t release until it’s safe, and the excess temperature device kicks in before damage occurs.
The vertical chamber layout maximizes your bench space while the 85-liter capacity handles typical lab volumes without monopolizing floor space. Loading is straightforward through the top access.
