Things to consider before buying an Autoclave

labsoko Blog / News January 12, 2023

Different types of autoclaves are available on the market, and each type has advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right for your specific needs is important.

●The size of the autoclave chamber is an important consideration. You will need to choose an autoclave that is large enough to accommodate the items you need to sterilize. 8 to 24 liters is the standard size.

●Automatic autoclaves are more expensive than semi-automatic , but they are easier to use. If you are unfamiliar with operating an autoclave, you may want to choose an automatic model.

●The cycle time is the time it takes for the autoclave to complete one sterilization cycle. Class B typically has a cycle time of 20 minutes, though some newer models may be faster. Class B can reach temperatures of 134°C (273°F) and pressures of 15 psi (pounds per square inch).

●Choosing an autoclave from a reputable manufacturer that offers a warranty and technical service is important. This will ensure that you can get help if you have problems with your device.

●Some autoclaves come with accessories, such as trays or racks, that can be used to sterilize small items. These accessories can be helpful if you need to sterilize various items.

●The autoclave chamber is typically made of stainless steel. Some models also have a glass door, allowing you to see the items inside while sterilizing
