Laboratory autoclaves sterilize laboratory equipment by using high temperatures and pressure to produce steam. Autoclaves are found in research labs, medical environments, dental offices, and anywhere else where microbial contamination is a primary concern. When loading an autoclave, it is important the instruments not be touching each other so the steam can access every surface point. Some things to consider when purchasing an autoclave sterilizer are how much equipment the machine can hold, the temperature and pressure range, and if cooling is an option.

| Description | Space-saving design with lid opening upward.
Fully automatic drying cycle for solid loads uses heat and vacuum for faster and more efficient drying.
Lid safety interlock prevents lid opening when a cycle is in progress, the chamber is pressurized, or when the temperature exceeds 97°C.
Vacuum pumpSpace-saving design with lid opening upward.
Fully automatic drying cycle for solid loads uses heat and vacuum for faster and more efficient drying.
Lid safety interlock prevents lid opening when a cycle is in progress, the chamber is pressurized, or when the temperature exceeds 97°C.
Vacuum pump removes air from the chamber, when sterilizing solids such as glassware and pipette tips, thereby eliminating cold spots, and ensuring faster and more efficient sterilziation.
One-touch lever to easily open and close chamber lid.
Liquid cycle for media and agar. Process display shows the program progress selected and status of the sterilization cycle.
Cycle for wastes and glassware without drying.
Door-closure sensor prevents a cycle from starting unless the door is closed properly.
