Compact Sterilizer 24L Overview
The Yamato Scientific Compact Sterilizer 24L (model SK201C) is a benchtop steam sterilizer (autoclave) built for research facilities that need reliable decontamination in a small footprint. Its 24 L chamber and 50 to 126°C temperature setting range handle media, glassware, and instrument loads. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
A 2000W pipe heater drives fast, even steam generation across the cycle. The chamber and cover use SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, while the exterior pairs a melamine-resin-coated Bonderizing steel plate with ABS resin housing. Programmable sterilizing and temperature functions are managed through a 4-digit LED display.
Ordering specifies voltage: SK201C runs on 115V and SK211C runs on 220V, letting you match site power without a separate adapter. The unit measures 36 × 36 × 41 in and weighs 95 lbs. Manufacturing is backed by ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 management-system certifications.

How to Choose the Right Sterilizer / Autoclave
Selecting a steam sterilizer comes down to matching chamber size, temperature performance, and site requirements to your daily workflow. Use the criteria below to confirm the unit fits both your loads and your lab infrastructure.
- Capacity: chamber volume determines how many flasks, plates, or instruments you process per cycle. A 24 L chamber targets research-scale throughput.
- Temperature range: confirm the setting span covers your protocol; this unit programs from 50 to 126°C.
- Control type: programmable digital controls with an LED display simplify repeatable cycle setup versus manual dials.
- Voltage: match the model to available site power — 115V (SK201C) or 220V (SK211C).
- Footprint and weight: verify bench space and load rating against the 36 × 36 × 41 in, 95 lb form factor.
- Safety features: interlocks, overheat protection, and water-level sensing protect operators and samples during unattended cycles.
