Vertical Autoclave LVA-B13 – Laboratory Steam Sterilization System

What is Vertical Autoclave LVA-B13?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-B13 is a steam sterilization system that uses pressurized saturated steam at up to 134 °C to eliminate microorganisms, spores, and contaminants from laboratory materials.

Key Takeaways

• Operates using moist heat sterilization (steam under pressure)

• Sterilization temperature up to 134 °C

• Suitable for media, glassware, instruments, and biohazard waste

• Programmable cycles with pressure and temperature monitoring

• Used in laboratory, clinical, and research environments

What Is This Product Used For?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-B13 is used for sterilizing laboratory materials through controlled steam cycles. It enables decontamination of culture media, glassware, surgical instruments, and biological waste while maintaining sterilization validation in laboratory workflows.

How Does a Vertical Autoclave Work?

A vertical autoclave works by generating saturated steam inside a sealed chamber. As pressure increases, temperature rises to sterilization levels. Steam penetrates materials and destroys microorganisms, followed by controlled exhaust and cooling for safe unloading.

Why Choose LVA-B13?

Choose this model when:

• Medium capacity sterilization (~50 L) is required

• Steam sterilization up to 134 °C is needed

• Programmable cycles are required for validation

• Vertical loading is preferred for space efficiency
