Sterilizer With Dryer 20L Overview
The Sterilizer With Dryer 20L (model SM201) from Yamato Scientific is a fully automatic steam autoclave with a 20 L chamber, a sterilizing range of 105 to 123°C, and an integrated drying stage from 150 to 180°C. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized dealer.
Sterilization and drying run as one programmed cycle through an interactive key-input system, so samples are ready to use immediately after the cycle ends. Drying temperature adjusts to sample material and load size, while a timer covering 1 to 999 hours handles long unattended runs.
Available in 115V (SM201) and 220V (SM211) configurations, the unit measures 36 × 36 × 49 in and weighs 216 lbs. Manufactured in Japan, it is backed by Yamato's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified production.
Key Features
- Automatic cycle: high-pressure steam sterilization and drying run start to finish through an interactive key-input system.
- Quick drying: samples dry right after sterilization, with drying temperature set to sample material and load quantity.
- Wide timer range: programmable from 1 to 999 hours for short loads or extended unattended runs.
- Front-panel access: drain bottle water level reads on a front level indicator, and the drain valve sits in front for easy reach.
- Smooth chamber: absence of protrusions inside the chamber speeds insertion and removal of baskets and other items.
- Built-in safety: self-diagnostic functions aid error recovery, and a condensation collector neutralizes high-temperature exhaust steam.
How to Choose the Right Sterilizer / Autoclave
Matching an autoclave to your workflow means weighing chamber size, temperature requirements, control style, and site power against the loads you process daily. Use the criteria below to scope the right unit.
- Capacity: a 20 L chamber suits routine media, glassware, and instrument loads; confirm your basket dimensions fit the usable volume.
- Temperature range: a 105 to 123°C sterilizing band covers standard steam protocols, while a separate 150 to 180°C drying stage matters when wet items must be ready immediately.
- Control type: automatic key-input sequencing reduces operator steps and supports repeatable, validated cycles.
- Voltage: choose 115V (SM201) or 220V (SM211) to match the receptacle and circuit at the install location.
- Footprint and weight: verify bench or floor space for a 36 × 36 × 49 in unit weighing 216 lbs, plus clearance for front drain access.
- Safety features: self-diagnostics and an exhaust condensation collector protect operators and simplify error recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sterilizing temperature range of the SM201?
The SM201 sterilizes across a 105 to 123°C range using high-pressure steam. A separate drying stage operates from 150 to 180°C, set according to sample material and load.
What chamber capacity and overall dimensions does this autoclave have?
The chamber holds 20 L. The full unit measures 36 × 36 × 49 in (L × W × H) and weighs 216 lbs, so plan bench or floor space and front clearance for drain access.
What is the difference between the SM201 and SM211?
Voltage is the only difference. SM201 runs on 115V and SM211 runs on 220V; both share the same 20 L chamber, temperature ranges, controls, and construction. Choose the model matching your receptacle.
What materials are used in the chamber and exterior?
The chamber and cover are SUS304 stainless steel. The exterior is cold rolled steel plate with a protective coating, and a smooth, protrusion-free chamber speeds basket loading and unloading.
How does the drying function work after sterilization?
Drying runs automatically right after sterilization within the same programmed cycle. Quick drying makes samples ready to use immediately, and the drying temperature can be set to match sample material and quantity.
Is this unit certified, and where is it made?
The sterilizer is manufactured in Japan by Yamato Scientific under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified production. Self-diagnostic functions and an exhaust condensation collector support safe, reliable operation.
