What Is This Product Used For

Vertical Autoclave LVA-C11 is used to perform saturated steam sterilization of reusable laboratory materials and biological waste. It enables thermal disinfection by exposing loads to high-temperature steam under controlled pressure for defined cycle durations

Industries That Use This Product

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control laboratories
• Biotechnology and life science research facilities
• Clinical and diagnostic laboratories
• Hospital CSSD and sterilization rooms
• Academic and institutional research centers

How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-C11 Work

Vertical Autoclave generates saturated steam inside a sealed chamber. Steam displaces air to ensure uniform heat transfer. Once preset temperature and pressure are reached, the load is exposed for a defined holding time to achieve sterilization. Controlled exhaust reduces pressure before unloading.

Core Functional Capabilities

• Vertical top-loading chamber
• Microprocessor-based control system
• Automatic temperature and pressure regulation
• Stainless steel sterilization chamber
• Over-temperature and over-pressure protection
• Compatible with liquids, solids, and waste
