• Material
  • Choice of material is determined by water quality or load type. 
  • Distilled or deionized (DI) water will require all stainless (including stainless piping) 
  • Note: Tissue culture will require purified water.

Material Choices

• Stainless Chamber, Carbon Steel Jacket
  • Standard offering from Consolidated unless otherwise specified.
• Nickel Clad Chamber, Carbon Steel Jacket
  • Nickel Clad is more resistant to rusting; it doesn’t pit as much as stainless, and is more resistant to chlorides.
  • This material should not be used if working with bloodwork.
• Stainless Chamber, Stainless Jacket
  • If the water quality is above 1 MegaOhm/cm stainless steel is required.
  • This option is critical for lab work with tissue culture or labs feeding distilled or deionized (DI) water to the sterilizer. 
  • Stainless piping and a stainless generator are necessary as well.
  • In turn, if a stainless steel generator is chosen, water greater than 1 MegaOhm/cm must be used.
