MP25
Standard Features
The common control system fitted to every autoclave in the Rodwell range. The MP25 has evolved to be one of the finest laboratory instrument control systems on the market today. What sets this system apart from any other control system is that it is totally interchangeable. The same MP25 control system can be used with any Rodwell autoclave, from a bench top to a large square chambered vacuum machine.
MP25 Options
25 programs
Can be programmed and stored by the laboratory Supervisor.
Smart card access system
Allows programs to be stored and locked off by a supervisor
Operator cards give access to pre-programmed cycles only
Available with or without operator smartcard access for operator access
Load Activated Sterilise timer
(On/Off) prevents the sterilise timer from starting until the chamber and load have reached set point temperature.
Free steam timer (adjustable by time)
Holds the chamber at approximately 100°C (without pressurising) for a pre-determined time during the heating period and allow efective steam penetration into the load.
Delayed start (24 hour clock)
Timer option allows the autoclave to be pre-programmed at a pre-determined time so the autoclave completes a cycle just before the lab arrives for work the following morning for pre-prepared warm media.
Adjustable Stay Warm (on/off)
Keeps the chamber warm at the end of the cycle for pourable media. This is adjustable to allow the operator to select the optimum temperature.
Instrument Cycles (programs 21 to 24 only)
Exhausts the chamber at the end of the cycle for dryer glassware and instruments upon completion.

SmartLog
About the SmartLog
The MP25 SmartLog system from Rodwell Scientific Instruments is revolutionising the way that autoclave cycle data is collected and analysed.
In the past data collection would have been carried out by use of a data printer, which meant regular paper re-fills, replacement ink ribbons and reams of paper reports accumulating on the laboratory manager’s desk.
Key Features & Options
The SmartLog system, comprises a specially adapted USB memory stick and our SmartLog software package. When connected to our MP25 controller, each time a cycle is carried out, all the cycle information is stored directly to the memory stick. The data files can then be downloaded to the PC for analysis at a later date. The software offers quick and easily analysis identifying any problems which may have occurred during the run.
Need something tangible to show auditors? SmartLog can generate a comprehensive customisable report which only has to be printed as and when required for audit purposes. As well as basic time and temperature sampling as with traditional data printers, a complete cycle temperature profile is also displayed giving a graphic representation of the entire cycle. The graph offers various visual options enabling the user to view only what they wish to see. This includes custom probe views, different cycle stages, drying and pressure displays, graphical zoom for more detailed analysis as well as F0 values for food testing laboratories.
