SX-700U · 69 L
Choose the capacity and installation that fit your lab
Both models provide programmable operation, standard dual-fan cooling and a self-contained design without a fixed plumbing connection. The primary differences are chamber capacity, footprint and electrical requirements.
Compact capacity with 100–120 V power
For laboratories that need routine sterilization capacity with the smaller SX-Series cabinet footprint.

More chamber capacity in a compact vertical footprint
For laboratories that need a larger chamber while keeping floor-space requirements manageable.
- ChamberØ36.0 × 67.5 cm
- Cabinet47.0 W × 52.8 D cm
- PowerAC 207–253 V, 13 A

Planning note: Chamber volume alone does not confirm whether a specific bottle, flask, vessel or basket configuration will fit. Share your largest vessel dimensions and typical batch with our team before selecting a model.
Add capacity without redesigning your lab
Use floor space efficiently
The top-loading design provides useful chamber depth while keeping the cabinet footprint compact.
Plan without fixed plumbing
A built-in reservoir removes the need for a dedicated water connection or central steam line.
Repeat routine settings
Programmable operation helps shared laboratories save and reuse routine cycle parameters.
Support cooldown
Standard dual-fan cooling supports the cooldown stage after sterilization.
Which model fits your usual load?
The right choice depends on more than chamber volume. Vessel dimensions, batch size, basket configuration, available floor space and electrical service can all affect model selection.

Common setup questions
Do the SX-500U and SX-700U require fixed plumbing?
No. Both models use a built-in water reservoir and connect to an approved drain container. A dedicated water connection or central steam line is not required.
Can they sterilize liquids?
Yes. Both models support liquid sterilization cycles for compatible culture media and aqueous solutions. Validate cycle parameters for the specific load and application.
What is the main difference between the models?
The SX-500U provides a 50 L chamber and uses AC 100–120 V power. The SX-700U provides a 69 L chamber and requires AC 207–253 V power. Their chamber dimensions and footprints also differ.
How do I know whether my vessels will fit?
Compare the vessel dimensions and intended basket configuration with the chamber dimensions. Send unusual or tall vessel dimensions and your typical batch to the TOMY team for review.
