What is Vertical Autoclave LVA-H13?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-H13 is a laboratory sterilization system that uses pressurized saturated steam to eliminate bacteria, fungi, spores, and contaminants from laboratory materials. It is suitable for laboratories where sterile processing is essential for accurate testing and safe workflows.

What is Vertical Autoclave LVA-H13 Used For?

Vertical Autoclave LVA-H13 is commonly used for:

Sterilization of laboratory glassware
Sterilization of culture media
Decontamination of laboratory waste
Sterilization of surgical tools
Sterilization of microbiology instruments
Processing liquids and reagents
Daily contamination control procedures

How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-H13 Work?

Vertical Autoclave 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 completion, pressure is safely released and cooling begins.
