Horizontal Autoclave NHA-104 is a steam sterilization system that uses pressurized steam at 121–134°C to eliminate microorganisms, spores, and pathogens from laboratory instruments, culture media, and biohazardous waste. It is designed for medium-to-large batch sterilization in laboratories, hospitals, and industrial environments.
Operates at 121–134°C using pressurized steam
Supports gravity and pre-vacuum sterilization cycles
Designed for medium-to-large batch processing
Suitable for labs, hospitals, pharma, biotech
Ensures USP, ISO, and FDA compliance
Ideal for instruments, media, and biohazard waste
1.What is a horizontal autoclave used for?
Used to sterilize laboratory equipment, media, and waste using high-pressure steam.
2.How is it different from vertical autoclaves?
Horizontal models handle larger loads with tray-based systems; vertical models are compact.
3.Can it sterilize both media and instruments?
Yes, it supports mixed load sterilization with proper cycle selection.
Horizontal Autoclave NHA-104 is used to maintain sterile conditions in controlled environments.
