Memmert SF160 – The reliable solution for precise and uniform sterilisation
The Memmert SF160 is a hot air steriliser designed to provide reliable and consistent sterilisation of laboratory instruments and accessories. Designed to meet the most stringent standards, it is ideally suited to medical and scientific applications requiring a high level of hygiene and safety. It effectively replaces conventional disinfection with high-temperature sterilisation, ensuring the complete elimination of microorganisms.
One of the notable features of this model is the Setpoint Wait function, which ensures that the sterilisation cycle only starts when the programmed temperature is reached. This mechanism, combined with a high-precision Pt100 temperature sensor , ensures that sterilisation is fully effective throughout the chamber. This gives the user complete control over the process and optimal reproducibility of results.
With an adjustable temperature range from +20 °C to +250 °C and accuracy down to 0.1 °C for low temperatures, the SF160 stands out for its fine control. Its silent turbine ventilation system ensures even air circulation, while preheated fresh air is mixed electronically, guaranteeing a constant temperature without thermal shock for the instruments. This control of heat circulation optimises sterilisation efficiency and preserves the quality of the materials being processed.
The stainless steel interior design, reinforced with pressed ribs, allows for easy cleaning and maintains chamber hygiene. The heating element integrated on four sides ensures even heat distribution, eliminating cold spots. With a net capacity of 161 litres, the SF160 can accommodate up to eight internal levels, each supporting up to 20 kg, with a maximum load of 210 kg.
The ControlCOCKPIT control interface with TFT colour display allows intuitive programming of parameters such as temperature, fan speed, air flap position and cycle time. The integrated timer can be set from 1 minute to 99 days, offering optimum flexibility for different sterilisation protocols. The device is also compatible with AtmoCONTROL software via Ethernet connection or USB stick, allowing operating data to be archived and analysed.
Safety is a key focus in the design of the SF160. It incorporates an electronic overheating control device and a mechanical temperature limiter to prevent thermal failure. A self-diagnostic system enables rapid detection of any faults.
Robust, efficient and easy to use, the Memmert SF160 is an essential piece of equipment for laboratories, hospitals and research centres seeking to guarantee the microbiological safety of their instruments. Its combination of thermal performance, precise control and cycle management features makes it an indispensable tool for controlled and reproducible thermal processing.
