This autoclave is suitable for instruments, glassware, media and waste, and is particularly suited to destructive sterilisation — making spent cultures and contaminated disposables safe before they leave the lab. The condensing vacuum drawn at the end of the cycle helps loads dry, which is especially useful for dressings and drapes. Because the lid lifts off completely, wide items can be placed straight into the inner liner rather than tilted through a narrow opening.
As microbiology lab equipment in a college, a typical day might start with sterilising media bottles and pipette tins at 121°C and end with a waste cycle. The thermostatic control holds temperature without constant adjustment, and the polished SS 316 exterior wipes clean quickly between runs.
