Study Notes
Autoclave Lab
- Autoclaves are also known as steam sterilizers, used for healthcare or industrial applications.
Components of Autoclave
- Electrical heater
- Vessel or pressure chamber
- Air removal valve
- Safety valve
- Pressure gauge
- Lid/door made of stainless steel, placed at the vessel's mouth
Working Principle of Autoclave
- Gravity displacement autoclave:
- Hot steam enters the chamber, forcing air out through a vent
- Unsuitable for autoclave bags due to air pockets creation
- Autoclaves are generally of two types: horizontal and vertical
Types of Autoclaves
Horizontal Autoclave
- Door/lid opens outwards towards the handler
- Usually available in large sizes
Vertical Autoclave
- Autoclavable material is loaded from the top side of the autoclave
- Usually available in small sizes
Positive Pressure Displacement Autoclave
- Steam is generated in a separate steam generator unit
- Moisture is transferred into the autoclave
