What is Vertical Autoclave LVA-I14?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-I14 is a compact laboratory sterilization system that uses high-pressure saturated steam to eliminate bacteria, fungi, spores, and contaminants from laboratory materials. It is designed for facilities that require controlled sterilization conditions, operational safety, and dependable daily performance.


What is Vertical Autoclave LVA-I14 Used For?

This autoclave is commonly used for:

  • Sterilization of laboratory glassware

  • Sterilization of surgical and metal instruments

  • Sterilization of microbiological culture media

  • Processing reusable textiles

  • Decontamination of biohazard waste

  • Sterilization of liquids and buffers

  • Routine contamination control procedures


How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-I14 Work?

The chamber is filled with water that generates saturated steam during operation. Once sealed, pressure rises and increases internal temperature to sterilization levels such as 121°C or 134°C. Steam penetrates the load and destroys microorganisms. After the holding cycle, pressure is gradually released and cooling begins for safe unloading.
