Vertical Autoclave LVA-N12 – Laboratory Steam Sterilization Equipment

What Is Vertical Autoclave LVA-N12?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-N12 is a compact 12-liter steam sterilizer that uses high-pressure saturated steam (up to 134 °C) to sterilize laboratory instruments, media, and waste in controlled environments.

What Is This Autoclave Used For?

It is used for:

• Sterilizing culture media

• Decontaminating laboratory instruments

• Treating microbiological waste

• Supporting contamination control in laboratories

This ensures compliance with GLP, GMP, and biosafety standards.

How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-N12 Work?

The autoclave generates saturated steam inside a sealed chamber. As pressure increases, steam penetrates materials and destroys microorganisms. Controlled temperature and time ensure complete sterilization before safe pressure release.

Who Should Use This Autoclave?

This model is ideal for:

• Pharmaceutical quality control laboratories

• Biotechnology research facilities
