A tabletop autoclave is a compact steam sterilizer that uses pressurized saturated steam at 121–134°C to sterilize laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, liquids, and small biohazardous waste. It ensures accurate contamination control in laboratories, clinics, and research facilities while occupying minimal bench space.
Type: Compact steam sterilizer
Temperature: 121–134°C
Capacity: 30–120 L
Cycle Types: Gravity & Pre-vacuum
Best For: Small laboratories and routine sterilization
Standards: USP, ISO, GMP, FDA
Sterilizing laboratory and surgical instruments
Preparing sterile culture media
Sterilizing glassware and containers
Decontaminating small volumes of biohazardous waste
Supporting microbiology and clinical workflows
Clinical laboratories: Daily instrument sterilization
Research laboratories: Media preparation and sample processing
Pharmaceutical QA labs: Contamination control
Diagnostic centers: Routine sterilization workflows
The system uses high-pressure saturated steam to eliminate microorganisms and spores.
Gravity Cycle: Steam displaces air for standard loads.
Pre-vacuum Cycle: Air is removed before steam entry for deeper penetration into porous and wrapped materials.
Uniform heat distribution
Effective microbial destruction
Accurate and repeatable sterilization cycles
Compact 30–120 L chamber
Gravity and pre-vacuum cycle operation
Digital programmable control system
Operating temperature range of 121–134°C
Stainless steel chamber construction
Safety interlocks and pressure protection
Suitable for instruments, media, liquids, and waste
