Applications and Experiments for the Top Loading Autoclave
Steam under pressure reaches 121 °C, well above the boiling point of water at normal pressure, which is why autoclaving is the standard way to prepare media and glassware in microbiology teaching. As a laboratory autoclave sterilizer in India, this 13 L model can handle small batches of media, glassware and used cultures.
- School and college biology: preparing nutrient media and Petri dishes for culture practicals, then growing plates in a 32-litre Incubator 30L, upto 80C.
- B.Sc. microbiology and biotechnology labs: steam treatment of media, glassware and used cultures, with water for the drum and the media from a Distiller for Distilled Water producing 1–2 litres per hour.
- Chemistry and general science labs: demonstrating the pressure–boiling point relationship.
- Nursing and paramedical training labs: teaching the principles of steam sterilization.
This is a pressure vessel. Never open the lid while the gauge shows pressure, release steam through the cock before opening, keep the water level correct, and let only trained staff operate it.
Standard Scope of Supply
The autoclave is supplied as a single unit: the 13 L aluminium drum with its immersion heater and the lid fitted with its pressure gauge, safety valve and steam releasing cock. Any optional inner baskets or other accessories are listed separately on the quotation.
