Autoclaves for Academic Institutions & University Research Labs
At its core, the autoclave is a simple device. A combination of heat, pressure, and steam work to sterilize lab media and biological waste, killing microorganisms and spores. More details in this article: How Does an Autoclave Work? TOMY Autoclaves are designed simply and reliably. In academia, autoclaves must be intuitive, making it easy for student users to avoid error, prevent injuries, and eliminate excessive maintenance that can cause downtime in your lab.
Simple Operation
Top-open lid can be operated easily with a single hand and foot.
Safe Interlocking Lid
Lid interlock mechanism locks lid during operation to prevent users from opening the lid once the autoclave cycle begins.
Intuitive Viewable Monitor
Easy to interpret LED display shows working status for easy monitoring and notifications.

The intuitive design of the TOMY Autoclave works well in universities as a research-grade autoclave. Research-grade autoclaves function in the same manner to sterilize lab media in academic institutions, without the over-the-top medical-grade autoclave requirements that are unnecessary in academia settings.
In addition to TOMY Autoclaves being part of a safe lab environment, TOMY Autoclaves are also high-performing and energy efficient.

Centrifuges for Academic Institutions & University Research Labs
In academic/university settings centrifuges are used in chemistry, biology, and other research laboratories for isolating and separating substances in liquid or solid media. Centrifuges perform a basic function relied on as essential tools for lab research. When a centrifuge requires excessive maintenance or isn’t user friendly this every day tool becomes a nuisance more than a benefit.

TOMY OneSpin
Simple and compact, this mini centrifuge accommodates one, two, three, or four tubes in any position without a counter balance. Designed for busy academia researchers – close the lid to spin, release hand to stop.

TOMY Multi Spin Mini Centrifuge
A portable centrifuge powered by battery or AC adapter. Great for moving between benches and refrigerated environments.

TOMY MDX-310 Refrigerated Centrifuge
Stackable “rack-in-rotor” system for easy, instantaneous swapping of rotors. Built for speed and function, the MDX-310 accommodates a large array of tubes and sample media.
