Vertical Autoclave LVA-D11 – Laboratory Steam Sterilizer

What Is a Vertical Autoclave?

A vertical autoclave is a laboratory steam sterilizer that uses pressurized saturated steam at 121–134 °C and up to 0.22 MPa to eliminate microorganisms, spores, and contaminants from glassware, culture media, biological materials, and laboratory instruments.

Product Snapshot

What Is This Product Used For?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-D11 is used for moist heat sterilization of laboratory materials through pressurized steam exposure. It eliminates microbial contamination from instruments, culture media, biological samples, and laboratory glassware in controlled environments.

How Does a Vertical Autoclave Work?

1. Water is heated to generate saturated steam

2. Steam fills the sealed chamber

3. Pressure increases to raise temperature up to 134 °C

4. Steam penetrates materials and destroys microorganisms

5. Holding time ensures sterilization completion

6. Controlled exhaust releases pressure safely

7. Optional drying prepares materials for handling
