Portable autoclaves are compact steam sterilization devices used to sterilize laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, liquids, and biohazardous waste using high-pressure steam at 121–134°C. They are designed for small laboratories, clinics, and mobile setups requiring efficient, on-site sterilization.
Compact, space-saving sterilization equipment
Uses pressurized steam for microbial inactivation
Suitable for labs, clinics, and field applications
Supports gravity and pre-vacuum sterilization cycles
Typical cycle time: 15–60 minutes
Portable autoclaves are used to maintain sterile conditions in laboratory and clinical environments.
Common applications:
Sterilizing surgical and laboratory instruments
Decontaminating culture media and liquids
Processing biohazardous waste
Supporting microbiology and tissue culture workflows
Enabling sterilization in mobile or remote labs
Portable autoclaves work by generating high-pressure saturated steam inside a sealed chamber.
Steam reaches temperatures of 121–134°C
Pressure ensures deep penetration into materials
Microorganisms are destroyed through heat and moisture
Gravity or pre-vacuum cycles are used based on load type
Temperature: 121–134°C
Pressure: 1.1–2.1 bar
Cycle Time: 15–60 minutes
Capacity: Small to medium (typically 10–25 liters)
Gravity and pre-vacuum sterilization cycles
Digital temperature and pressure controls
Compact and lightweight design
Built-in safety systems (pressure release, overheat protection)
Easy-to-clean stainless steel chambers
Research and academic laboratories
Hospitals and diagnostic centers
Pharmaceutical and biotech labs
Microbiology and tissue culture labs
Environmental and field testing laboratories
Choose based on:
