LMPOA-A402 Portable Autoclave – Vertical Steam Sterilizer 

What is LMPOA-A402? 

LMPOA-A402 is a vertical top-loading steam sterilizer used to sterilize laboratory instruments, glassware, culture media, textiles, and biohazard waste using saturated steam at 105–134°C under controlled pressure conditions.

What is LMPOA-A402 used for? 

LMPOA-A402 is used for sterilizing laboratory materials that require high-temperature steam processing. It is commonly used for instruments, glassware, culture media, textiles, and contaminated laboratory waste before disposal.

Who should use LMPOA-A402? 

This model is suitable for:

• Small to medium laboratories

• Field and mobile laboratory setups

• Pharmaceutical QC environments

• Biotechnology and microbiology labs

• Veterinary and diagnostic centers

It is selected when compact vertical sterilization is required.

How does LMPOA-A402 work? 

Sterilization occurs through a controlled steam cycle:

1. Load materials into vertical chamber

2. Lock lid using mechanical clamps

3. Heat water to generate saturated steam

4. Increase temperature to 105–134°C

5. Build pressure up to 0.1–0.22 MPa

6. Maintain exposure time for sterilization

7. Release pressure before chamber opening

What can be sterilized in LMPOA-A402? 

• Surgical and laboratory instruments

• Glassware (beakers, flasks, cylinders)

• Culture media and reagents

• Laboratory textiles

• Autoclavable plastics

• Biohazard waste

What should NOT be sterilized? 

Do not sterilize:

• Flammable liquids

• Volatile chemicals

• Heat-sensitive plastics

• Reactive chemical substances

• Manual timer control system

• Adjustable temperature settings

• Pressure gauge monitoring

• Safety valve system

• Electric heating system

• Compact laboratory footprint

• Heat-resistant handling system

Technical Specifications

How to choose LMPOA-A402? 

Choose LMPOA-A402 when:

• Laboratory space is limited

• Small to medium batch sterilization is required

• Manual cycle control is acceptable

• Vertical loading is preferred

Not suitable when:

• High-volume hospital sterilization is required

• Fully automated programmable cycles are needed

Comparison Insight

LMPOA-A402 is best suited for compact laboratory environments where moderate sterilization capacity is required. Compared to larger horizontal autoclaves, it provides simpler operation and reduced space requirements, but lower batch throughput.

Typical Applications 

• Clinical instrument sterilization

• Microbiology media preparation

• Laboratory glassware sterilization

• Biohazard waste decontamination

• Veterinary laboratory workflows

Compliance Alignment

LMPOA-A402 supports sterilization aligned with:

• ISO 17665 sterilization standards

• Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

• Clinical laboratory safety protocols

• Internal QA documentation systems

Step-by-step Maintenance 

• Clean chamber after use

• Check gasket condition regularly

• Inspect pressure valve functionality

• Ensure proper water level before cycle

• Use distilled water only
