Vertical Autoclave LVA-P10 – Steam Sterilization Equipment

What Is a Vertical Autoclave?

A vertical autoclave is a steam sterilization system that uses pressurized saturated steam to eliminate microorganisms and spores from laboratory materials. It is used for sterilizing culture media, instruments, glassware, dressings, and biohazardous waste.

Product Snapshot

What Is This Product Used For?

Labtron LVA-P10 Vertical Autoclave is used for high-temperature steam sterilization of reusable laboratory materials. It is applied for culture media preparation, glassware decontamination, surgical instrument processing, and microbiological waste treatment.

How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-P10 Work?

1. Materials are loaded into the vertical chamber.

2. The chamber is sealed before cycle starts.

3. Saturated steam is generated inside the chamber.

4. Air is displaced for uniform steam penetration.

5. Temperature and pressure reach selected sterilization levels.

6. Holding time is maintained for microbial inactivation.

7. Pressure is released safely after cycle completion.

8. Sterilized materials are removed after cooling.
