Compact Sterilizer 30L Overview
The Compact Sterilizer 30L (model SK301C) from Yamato Scientific is a benchtop steam autoclave built for research facilities that need reliable sterilization in a small footprint. Sold by LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer, this unit delivers a 30 L chamber, a 50 to 126°C temperature setting range, and a 2000W pipe heater for fast, even steam generation.
A SUS304 stainless steel chamber and cover resist corrosion and repeated steam cycles, while the exterior uses temperature-resistant engineering plastics. Operators program runs through a 4-digit LED display with a 0 to 999 minute timer, plus adjustable sterilizing and temperature settings for varied loads.
Each sterilizer measures 36 × 36 × 41 inches and weighs 95 lbs. Two voltage options cover 115V (SK301C) and 220V (SK311C) lab circuits. Manufacturing follows ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 systems, and every order ships from USA inventory.

How to Choose the Right Sterilizer / Autoclave
Selecting a steam sterilizer comes down to matching chamber size, temperature capability, and site power to your daily workload. Weigh these axes .
- Capacity: a 30 L chamber suits routine research loads; size the volume to your largest typical batch of glassware, media, or instruments.
- Temperature range: confirm the unit reaches your protocol set point. This sterilizer covers 50 to 126°C.
- Control type: programmable LED control with a 0 to 999 minute timer supports repeatable, documented cycles.
- Voltage: match the model to your circuit. SK301C runs on 115V, SK311C on 220V.
- Footprint: verify bench or floor space against the 36 × 36 × 41 inch dimensions and 95 lb weight.
- Safety features: interlocks, overheat protection, and water-level alarms protect operators and loads during unattended runs.
