CertoClav MultiControl 2 Laboratory Autoclave
The CertoClav MultiControl 2 laboratory autoclave is a high-quality solution for reliable sterilisation in demanding laboratory environments. Developed and manufactured for professional use in industrial, research and development laboratories as well as in production, this model impresses with its user-friendly operation, comprehensive safety system and high energy efficiency. Compared to similar autoclaves on the market, this device stands out thanks to its versatile range of applications, flexible programming and certification according to international standards - ideal conditions for a modern and future-proof laboratory infrastructure. Innovative sterilisation technology for the highest demands
The MultiControl 2 is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, making it easy, quick and safe to sterilise liquids and solid materials as well as packaged instruments and laboratory supplies. The vertical design with an 18-litre chamber allows for optimal use of the interior space, making it easy to process longer laboratory instruments up to 42 cm in length. Particularly noteworthy is the quadruple safety equipment, which guarantees safe handling even under high-pressure conditions - a key aspect for operation in busy laboratories.

Certificates: CE, TÜV - confirmed highest safety and quality standards
The control unit enables precise regulation via manual time control and a robust control valve. The air cooling system supports rapid relief and the energy-saving flow process. The scope of delivery includes all components necessary for immediate use: autoclave, base plate, power cable and control unit. Special features: Compliance with the EN 13060 standard guarantees high steam saturation with less than 3% non-condensable gases. This ensures that even demanding sterilisation processes, such as those for sensitive culture media, can be carried out safely and reproducibly. Top loading not only maximises capacity, but also reduces the risk of contamination during loading and unloading. Certifications and relevant standards
CE and TÜV conformity stands for tested safety and quality. In addition, the laboratory autoclave meets the requirements of EN 13060 (Type N), making it suitable for many classic laboratory applications. This ensures reliable use in facilities that value documented processes, validation and standard compliance.
Specific application examples
Thanks to its flexible loading and precise programming, the MultiControl 2 is suitable for a wide range of professional tasks in laboratories and production:
-
Research laboratories: Sterilisation of culture media such as LB broth, agar and buffer solutions, as well as cleaning and sterilisation of pipettes, measuring cylinders and other laboratory equipment.
-
Industrial laboratories: Preparation of production tools, sterile packaging of components and sterilisation of chemical vessels and glassware, e.g. for microbiological production processes.
-
Development laboratories: Contamination-free preparation of prototypes, bioreactors, bioprocess technology components and test series.
-
Training and further education: Practical training in safe working with sterilisation technology, e.g. for laboratory staff or students in training companies.
Common laboratory materials such as agar-agar, Luria-Bertani medium, saline solutions, glucose or yeast solutions and sterile water solutions are often sterilised efficiently with this device.
FAQs about the MultiControl 2
How flexible are the programmes for different materials?
The manual time control and control valve allow programmes to be individually tailored to the respective sterile goods and their requirements.
How is safety ensured at high pressure?
The integrated 4-fold safety system includes pressure relief valves, temperature monitoring and automatic pressure relief, ensuring maximum safety even in the event of a fault.
Can sealed materials also be sterilised?
Simply packaged, solid instruments and many types of packaging can be sterilised safely. For complex sealed materials, suitability should be checked in advance on an individual laboratory basis.
How is the autoclave cleaned and maintained?
The internal stainless steel chamber is particularly easy to clean. Regular descaling and a visual inspection of the safety devices are sufficient during normal operation.
Which nutrient and cell culture media can be sterilised in the MultiControl 2?
Almost all common media such as LB broth, TSA, MRS or minimal media as well as simple buffer solutions can be reliably processed.
Conclusion
The MultiControl 2 from CertoClav meets the highest standards of quality, safety and flexibility for professional sterilisation processes in industrial and scientific laboratory environments. With its powerful technology, user-friendly operating options and certified safety, it represents an efficient and sustainable investment for research, development and production.
