    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
