The steam sterilizer is also utilized in the digestion process for the Atlanta Center for Nutrient Analysis (ACNA) samples and would enhance their analytical process. 2) Detailed Salient Characteristics - The steam sterilizer must be a complete system including: vacuum, manual vertical sliding door, single door, recessed one wall, standard piping (brass and copper threaded), building steam, 120V, 1Ph (for line steam only), and 20" x 20" x 38" chamber equipped with the latest features in both state-of-the-art technology and ease of use.
