Media Processing Cycles

Isothermal Processing

For preparing agar and other biological media with a temperature range from 60°C to 95°C that allows for gentle heating and cooling down of agar.

Holding Temperature

Special program with programmable holding temperature at the end of the cycle to prevent cooling of media.

Over Pressure Cycle

Prevents distortion of packaging containing liquids during sterilization. Requires compressed air and fan.

Special Custom Cycles

Tuttnauer is able to provide specifically customized cycles upon request. These may include material stress test, ageing test, varnish test, and others.

Durham Program Cycle

Sterilizes Durham Tubes and is configured according the customer’s typical load for the test tubes.

Extended Sterilization Time

Special program with extended sterilization times up to 999 minutes.

Multiple Cycle (Material Stress Test)

Special program to automatically run multiple cycles on the same load.
