Understanding Autoclaves
Laboratory Autoclaves are high-pressure, steam-heated sterilisation devices used to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores from various materials. Commonly employed in research, medical, and industrial labs, they use temperatures of 121°C or higher to sterilise items such as glassware, surgical tools, and media. The autoclaving process is critical for preventing contamination in sensitive experiments and ensuring the safe disposal of hazardous biological waste. Our selection includes benchtop autoclaves, portable autoclaves, and floor standing models from leading brands, all compliant with UK laboratory safety standards. Whether you need a compact autoclave for small‑scale lab use or a high‑capacity system for research, healthcare, or education, we can help you choose the right model.
