• Manufactured with a high-quality stainless steel chamber for durability and sanitation.

An autoclave is a device designed to achieve sterility through the application of pressurized steam. The principle is based on the fact that moist heat is more effective at killing microbes than dry heat at the same temperature. By containing steam under pressure (e.g., 15-30 psi), temperatures of 121°C to 134°C are readily achieved. The standardized cycle ensures thorough treatment: first, air is purged from the chamber; second, steam penetrates the load for a validated time; third, steam is exhausted and items are dried. Its applications are fundamental to safe practice in medicine, dentistry, and laboratory science. It processes reusable instruments, prepares sterile culture media, and treats infectious waste.

In industry, it is used for processes requiring heat and pressure, such as bonding composite materials. The autoclave is the gold standard because it provides a reliable, repeatable, and monitorable process. Biological and chemical indicators can verify its efficacy. Steam's excellent heat transfer properties ensure that even complex geometries are uniformly heated, providing a level of assurance that alternative methods often cannot match for the same breadth of materials.
