An autoclave is a chamber which uses pressurized steam to sterilize a variety of substances, provided they are not damaged by high pressure or temperature. It uses moist heat in the form of pressurized steam to achieve destruction of organisms. It is observed that steam at a temperature of 121C and a pressure of 15psi is optimum for destroying life forms in about 15 minutes. Sterilization time is reduced at temperatures above 121C.Autoclaves are available based on the capacity (number of litres), size (benchtop or vertical) and functionality (gravity or vacuum induced or prevac). Labmart.in has an extensive catalogue which is tailored on the basis of customer requirements.
