Portable Pressure Steam Sterilizer LMPA-A100

What is LMPA-A100? 

LMPA-A100 is a vertical, top-loading portable pressure steam sterilizer used to sterilize laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, textiles, and regulated waste using saturated steam at 105°C–134°C under controlled pressure (0.1–0.22 MPa).

It is used in laboratory, clinical, and field environments where compact sterilization capacity is required.

What does LMPA-A100 do? 

It removes microorganisms, bacterial spores, and contaminants from laboratory materials using high-temperature steam and pressure cycles.

Why is LMPA-A100 used? 

It is used to ensure laboratory materials are safe, contamination-free, and suitable for reuse or disposal in regulated environments.

How does LMPA-A100 work? 

Process flow:

1. Load materials into vertical stainless steel chamber

2. Lock lid using mechanical clamps

3. Heat water to generate saturated steam

4. Pressure and temperature rise to sterilization levels

5. Maintain exposure time for microbial inactivation

6. Controlled pressure release before opening

7. Safe removal of sterilized load

What can LMPA-A100 sterilize? 

It can sterilize:

• Surgical and laboratory instruments

• Glassware (flasks, cylinders, beakers)

• Culture media and liquid reagents

• Laboratory textiles and wrapped packs

• Biohazard laboratory waste

Who should use LMPA-A100? 

It is suitable for:

• Pharmaceutical laboratories

• Biotechnology and microbiology labs

• Clinical diagnostic centers

• Veterinary hospitals

• Academic research institutions

• Field and mobile laboratories

When should LMPA-A100 be used? 

Use LMPA-A100 when:

• Vertical loading is required

• Laboratory space is limited

• Moderate batch sterilization is needed

• Mobile or field usage is required

• Manual cycle control is acceptable

When should it NOT be used?

Do not use LMPA-A100 for:

• Flammable chemicals

• Volatile substances

• Heat-sensitive laboratory materials

• Non-steam compatible equipment

Comparison Insight 

LMPA-A100 is preferred over:

• Benchtop autoclaves → when portability is required

• Horizontal autoclaves → when space efficiency is needed

• Dry heat sterilizers → when moisture-based sterilization is required

How long does sterilization take?

Typical cycle duration ranges from 15 to 60 minutes depending on load type and sterilization temperature.

Compliance Alignment
