Memmert Steriliser S SF160

Memmert Steriliser SF160

High-Capacity Hot Air Sterilisation with Precision Control

The Memmert SF160 hot air steriliser is designed for precise, uniform, and reliable sterilisation of laboratory and medical instruments. Unlike simple disinfection, it ensures true sterilisation through controlled dry heat, compliant with CE 0197 medical device standards. With a large 161-liter chamber and advanced safety functions such as SetpointWAIT, it is perfect for critical applications requiring validated and reproducible results.
