Labmate Horizontal Autoclave LMHA-A202


Horizontal Autoclave LMHA-A202 – Front-Loading Steam Sterilization System

What is LMHA-A202? 

LMHA-A202 is a horizontal front-loading steam autoclave used for sterilizing laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, textiles, and biohazard materials. It operates using saturated steam at 105°C to 134°C under controlled pressure, which eliminates microorganisms and ensures sterilized output for laboratory, pharmaceutical, and hospital environments.

What is a horizontal autoclave used for?

A horizontal autoclave is used for medium to high-volume sterilization of laboratory materials using pressurized steam. It is commonly used in hospitals, pharmaceutical labs, and research facilities for sterilizing instruments, liquids, and wrapped loads.

How does LMHA-A202 work? 

  1. Load materials into horizontal chamber

  2. Close and lock the front door system

  3. Remove air using gravity or vacuum-assisted cycle

  4. Introduce saturated steam into chamber

  5. Maintain sterilization temperature (105–134°C)

  6. Hold pressure for required exposure time

  7. Cool, depressurize, and dry materials

  8. Unload sterilized items safely

What is steam sterilization?

Steam sterilization is a process where high-temperature saturated steam under pressure destroys microorganisms by denaturing proteins and breaking cellular structures, ensuring complete sterilization of laboratory materials.
