SHP Steriltechnik LABOKLAV 195 Series Laboratory Autoclave
The SHP Steriltechnik LABOKLAV 195 Series Laboratory Autoclave is the ideal solution for demanding sterilisation processes in microbiological laboratories, research facilities, pharmaceutical production, the food industry and medical diagnostics. With state-of-the-art technology, a chamber size of 195 litres and versatile configuration options, it clearly stands out from other laboratory autoclaves - especially thanks to its ergonomics, flexibility and reliability, even with high sample throughput.
Its features combine large capacity, variable loading options and flexible designs (horizontal and vertical), making the LABOKLAV 195 particularly suitable for institutes that need to treat both large and diverse sterilisation goods efficiently and safely. Compared to standard systems on the market, this model offers an optimal balance of volume, state-of-the-art control and energy-efficient operation.
Innovative technology and flexible variants for professional applications
Thanks to its sophisticated steam sterilisation technology, the laboratory autoclave ensures consistent and standard-compliant sterilisation of a wide variety of materials - from media and glassware to contaminated waste.
Outstanding technical features:

Chamber volume: 195 litres (diameter 500 mm, depth 990 mm)
-
Design: Can be configured horizontally and vertically - maximum adaptation to spatial requirements
-
Max. temperature: 13 °C (adjustable up to 14 °C)
-
Max. pressure: 2.8 bar (in accordance with Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EU)
-
Electrical connection: 3N 400 V~, 50 Hz, 16 A
-
Heating capacity of steam generator: 10 kW for fast process cycles
-
Weight: 245 kg - robustly constructed for continuous operation
-
Loading capacity: Up to 60 × 1 litre bulkhead bottles (floor-standing unit) or 44 bottles in tabletop mode
For maximum flexibility, several model variants are available, each optimally designed for different sterilisation requirements:
-
Models with jacket cooling (e.g. LABOKLAV 195 M/MS/MSL): Effective cooling and support pressure option to minimise fluid loss; optionally also available with fan for even chamber flow to prevent temperature gradients.
-
Models with vacuum device (e.g. LABOKLAV 195 V/MV/MSV/MSLV): For efficient sterilisation of solid materials and to improve penetration in porous materials.
-
Stand-alone or tabletop version: Optimal adaptation to laboratory environments with limited floor space or special ergonomic requirements.
With freely selectable sterilisation temperatures between 98 and 135 °C, the system supports sterile processes for both heat-sensitive media and robust laboratory goods.
Further technical advantages
- Chamber geometry with generous internal dimensions for a wide variety of vessel sizes and configurations
- Modern operating concept for intuitive control and programming
- Comprehensive safety packages, including automatic door locking and monitoring units
Certifications, norms & quality standards
The LABOKLAV 195 series meets and exceeds key requirements for laboratory and industrial autoclaves:
- TÜV-tested
- Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EU
-
DIN 58950 and DIN 58951: Specific standards for laboratory and pharmaceutical autoclaves
-
IQ, OQ, PQ, DQ support: Documented quality assurance during installation, operation, performance and design
These certifications ensure that all sterilisation processes meet the highest safety and quality requirements and can be documented in an auditable manner.
Typical applications in research, diagnostics and industry
The LABOKLAV 195 series is particularly recommended for the following application scenarios:
-
Microbiological laboratories: Rapid sterilisation of culture media, Petri dishes, Pasteur pipettes, glassware and instruments.
-
Pharmaceutical production: Reliable sterilisation of strong and weak solutions as well as solids - even in pressure-sealed laboratory vessels.
-
Food analysis: Preparation of samples, containers and working materials prior to microbiological testing.
-
Medical diagnostics: Destructive sterilisation of contaminated disposable materials, endogenous substances (e.g. waste samples) and used equipment from infectious work areas.
Typically, media such as agar, LB broth, tryptic soy broth, physiological buffers, antibiotic solutions in storage bottles, as well as contaminated waste and solid laboratory items are sterilised in the LABOKLAV 195 series.
FAQs
What types of materials and containers can be sterilised?
- Liquids (culture media, reagents), solids (e.g. glassware, instruments), waste products and laboratory utensils in open or pressure-resistant sealed containers; depending on the equipment, problematic substances (e.g. organic solvents) may also be sterilised after approval by the manufacturer.
Can the autoclave also be used for sensitive media?
- Yes. Thanks to precise control, jacket cooling and support pressure, even temperature-sensitive media or substances with high vapour pressure loss can be sterilised safely.
Can it be adapted to the laboratory environment?
- Absolutely. The choice between horizontal and vertical design as well as floor-standing and tabletop models allows for maximum integration even in limited space conditions.
What are the advantages of the optional vacuum and jacket cooling options?
- The vacuum device improves the penetration of steam in solid or porous materials; jacket cooling (with fan if necessary) accelerates the cooling phase and prevents liquid loss or temperature gradients.
Conclusion
With its exceptional flexibility, large chamber capacity, wide range of configuration options and comprehensive certification, the LABOKLAV 195 is an innovative and efficient solution for professional steam sterilisation requirements. The model is designed for maximum operational safety, reliable sterilisation results and convenient operation in daily continuous use - a first-class investment for research, diagnostics and industrial applications.
