Portable Autoclave LMPOA-A109 – Vertical Steam Sterilization Unit

What is LMPOA-A109 Portable Autoclave?

LMPOA-A109 is a vertical top-loading portable steam autoclave used for sterilizing laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, textiles, and biohazard waste. It operates using saturated steam at 105°C–134°C under controlled pressure to achieve microbial inactivation in laboratory, clinical, and field environments.

What is a Portable Autoclave Used For?

A portable autoclave is used to sterilize laboratory and clinical materials using steam under pressure.

LMPOA-A109 is used for:

• Sterilization of surgical instruments

• Glassware used in microbiology labs

• Culture media and reagents

• Laboratory textiles and dressings

• Biohazard waste decontamination

How Does LMPOA-A109 Work? 

1. Materials are placed in the vertical chamber

2. Lid is sealed using mechanical locking clamps

3. Water is heated to generate saturated steam

4. Pressure rises to sterilization level (0.1–0.22 MPa)

5. Temperature is maintained between 105°C–134°C

6. Exposure time is completed for microbial destruction

7. Pressure is released safely before opening

Where is LMPOA-A109 Used?

LMPOA-A109 is used in:

• Pharmaceutical laboratories

• Biotechnology research labs

• Clinical diagnostic centers

• Veterinary clinics

• Academic institutions

• Field and mobile laboratories

What Temperature Does LMPOA-A109 Use?

The system operates at:

• Temperature: 105°C to 134°C

• Pressure: 0.1 to 0.22 MPa

These parameters vary based on load type and sterilization cycle.

Can LMPOA-A109 Sterilize Biohazard Waste?

Yes. It sterilizes laboratory biohazard waste using steam treatment before disposal. This reduces microbial contamination risk in laboratory environments.
