2.What temperature does it operate at?
121–134°C depending on the sterilization cycle.
3.What cycle types are available?
Gravity displacement and pre-vacuum cycles.
4.Is it suitable for large loads?
Yes, designed for medium-to-large batch sterilization.
5.Where is it used?
Pharma labs, hospitals, biotech facilities, and research labs.
Horizontal Autoclave NHA-300 is used to:
Sterilize laboratory instruments and glassware
Prepare sterile microbiological media
Decontaminate biohazardous waste
Maintain aseptic conditions in clinical environments
Support sterile production in pharmaceutical industries
Ensures repeatable, validated sterilization cycles
Pharmaceutical & biotechnology labs

Loading – Materials placed in horizontal chamber trays
Air Removal
Gravity: steam pushes air out
Pre-vacuum: air is actively removed
Steam Injection – Chamber reaches 121–134°C
Sterilization Hold – Maintains temperature for microbial destruction
Pressure Release – Safe depressurization
Drying Phase – Removes residual moisture
Result: Complete sterilization of all load surfaces
Stainless steel corrosion-resistant chamber
Programmable sterilization cycles
Digital control system
Uniform steam penetration
Safety interlocks & pressure protection
High-capacity tray-based design
Choose NHA-300 if you need:
Medium-to-large load sterilization
High-throughput laboratory workflows
Regulatory compliance (USP, ISO, FDA)
Accurate and repeatable sterilization cycles
Not ideal for:
Heat-sensitive materials (use gas sterilizers)
Moisture-sensitive items (use dry heat sterilizers)
Very small-scale sterilization (use benchtop units)
Vertical Autoclaves → small labs, limited space
Benchtop Autoclaves → low-volume sterilization
Dry Heat Sterilizers → moisture-sensitive materials
Gas Sterilizers (EO/H₂O₂) → delicate instruments
Best for: High-volume, consistent sterilization
Not ideal for: Compact or delicate sterilization needs
1.What is Horizontal Autoclave NHA-300 used for?
Sterilizing instruments, media, and waste using pressurized steam.
2.How is sterilization verified?
Using biological indicators, chemical indicators, and temperature monitoring.
3.Can it handle biohazardous waste?
Yes, it safely sterilizes waste before disposal.
4.What is the cycle duration?
Typically 20–60 minutes depending on load.
5.Is it compliant with standards?
Yes, meets USP, ISO, and FDA sterilization requirements.
