Water, monitoring and supplies

Feed your autoclave with the DS1000 or DS1G steam distiller or an Ameriwater RO system. Tuttnauer tabletop autoclaves need distilled or deionized water with a conductivity of 15 µS/cm or less. Verify cycles with rapid biological indicators, the Bionova incubator and Type 5 chemical integrators. Keep chambers clean with T-System Clean tablets and Chamber Brite, and stock pouch racks, printers, paper and labels.
