    Why are wrapped goods wet in Amsco Laboratory Equipment?
    • B
      Brent EsparzaAug 29, 2025
      If wrapped goods are wet after completing a cycle, or there is excessive vapor in the chamber when the door is opened on your Amsco Laboratory Equipment, the dry time might be too short for the load type. Try increasing the setting for dry time.

    What causes high pressure and low temperature in Amsco EAGLE 3043 Laboratory Equipment?
    • N
      nwilsonSep 1, 2025
      If, during the sterilize phase, the pressure is too high and the temperature is too low in your Amsco Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to air trapped in the chamber because of a clogged strainer or drain. Clean the strainer inside the chamber, and flush and clean the drain line and traps.
