Vertical Autoclave LVA-A14 is a laboratory steam sterilization system used to sterilize culture media, instruments, glassware, and waste using saturated steam at temperatures up to 134 °C. It is designed for small to medium capacity sterilization where controlled temperature, pressure, and cycle duration are required.
Vertical Autoclave LVA-A14 is used to sterilize laboratory materials by exposing them to high-pressure saturated steam. It helps eliminate microorganisms and supports contamination control in laboratory and healthcare environments.
