Core offering

Systec designs and manufactures laboratory autoclaves (steam sterilizers) with chamber volumes from 25 to 1580 liters, organized into horizontal (DX, HX, HX 2D) and vertical (VX) floor-standing and benchtop configurations. The company also produces the Systec Mediaprep line of automated media preparators (10–120 L) for preparation, sterilization, and sterile filling of culture media, and the Systec Mediafill automated dispensing/dosing system for Petri dishes and test tubes, complemented by the Systec Connect software for real-time monitoring and FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant documentation.

Product overview

Systec is a German manufacturer of laboratory autoclaves (steam sterilizers) and related equipment. The product portfolio consists of three main autoclave series: the compact Systec DX (horizontal benchtop, 25-200L) and Systec VX (vertical floor-standing, 40-150L) series for standard laboratory applications; and the larger Systec HX (horizontal floor-standing, 65-1580L) and Systec HX 2D (pass-through models, 90-1580L) for demanding pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Complementing the autoclave line are the Systec Mediaprep automated media preparators (10-120L) for culture media production, and the Systec Mediafill dispensing/dosing system for automated filling of culture media into Petri dishes and test tubes. Systec Connect software provides centralized real-time monitoring across all autoclave series. All products are manufactured in Germany at the Osnabrück facility and distributed globally through a network of factory-trained partners.
