Product Snapshot

What Is This Product Used For?

Industries That Use This Product

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratories

• Biotechnology and life science research facilities

• Clinical and diagnostic laboratories

• University and institutional research centers

• Hospital and medical laboratory units

How Does Vertical Autoclave LVA-L10 Work?

1. Laboratory materials are loaded into the vertical chamber.

2. The chamber is sealed before the cycle starts.

3. Saturated steam is generated inside the chamber.

4. Temperature and pressure rise to selected sterilization levels.

5. Steam penetrates the load and inactivates microorganisms.

6. The holding phase maintains sterilization conditions.

7. Controlled exhaust and cooling complete the cycle.

8. Sterilized materials are removed after safe pressure release.
