Vertical Autoclave NVA-103 – Laboratory Steam Sterilization Equipment

What Is Vertical Autoclave NVA-103?

Vertical Autoclave NVA-103 is a high-capacity laboratory sterilization system that uses pressurized steam at 121–134°C to eliminate microorganisms, spores, and contaminants from instruments, glassware, culture media, and biohazardous waste. Its 120-liter vertical design enables efficient sterilization in laboratories with limited space.


Key Takeaway 

Vertical Autoclave NVA-103 delivers accurate gravity-based steam sterilization for laboratory and clinical environments. With a 120-liter chamber, it supports high-capacity workflows while ensuring effective microbial inactivation, contamination control, and compliance with laboratory standards.


What Is This Autoclave Used For?

Used to:

  • Sterilize laboratory instruments and glassware

  • Prepare microbiological culture media

  • Decontaminate biohazardous waste

  • Maintain sterile laboratory conditions


How Does Vertical Autoclave NVA-103 Work? (Step-by-Step)

  1. Water is heated to generate steam

  2. Steam fills the sealed chamber

  3. Air is removed via gravity displacement

  4. Pressure rises to sterilization levels

  5. Microorganisms and spores are destroyed

  6. Chamber cools and depressurizes safely

What Is Steam Sterilization?

Steam sterilization uses high-pressure saturated steam to destroy microorganisms by denaturing proteins and disrupting cellular structures.


What Is a Gravity Cycle?

A gravity cycle removes air by allowing steam to naturally displace it inside the chamber. It is suitable for:

  • Glassware

  • Metal instruments

  • Non-porous materials
