Autoclaves

An autoclave is a thick-walled metal container with a tight seal that allows working with high-pressure, high-temperature water vapor, used to sterilize medical or laboratory equipment. This computer is capable of inactivating most viruses and bacteria.  The autoclave was invented by Charles Chamberland in 1879.

Autoclaves are equipment used mainly in sterilization applications and in the chemical industry, and today thanks to its effectiveness and low cost, it remains one of the most used methods of sterilization, because it produces greater volume of sterile material, destroys in a shorter time the infectious matter present and does not damage the material to be sterilized (provided that the latter is suitable for autoclavado).

Types of Autoclaves a lab may need

Horizontal autoclave

Las autoclaves horizontales se utilizan principalmente para procesar equipos y materiales potencialmente contaminados en el laboratorio, esto incluye componentes electrónicos, materiales de investigación, equipos y fibras sintéticas.

La autoclave horizontal también está diseñada para procesar materiales no contaminados, lo que la convierte en un dispositivo ideal para la fabricación de productos, la prevención de la contaminación, la formación adicional y la realización de procedimientos especializados. 

El uso más común de las autoclaves es el proceso de muestras biológicas 

Muchos laboratorios hacen uso de las autoclaves horizontales para procesar muestras biológicas, estas son muestras de tejido, sangre y otros materiales orgánicos, que necesitan ser desinfectados. 

Vertical autoclave

Los autoclaves verticales: están especialmente diseñados para la esterilización de líquidos y alimentos en laboratorios, fábricas farmacéuticas y alimentarias. Estos autoclaves hacen que el proceso sea más fácil, seguro, preciso, reproducible y más fácil de validar. El diseño compacto y ahorrador de espacio los hace ideales para laboratorios con poco pequeños, donde el espacio es muy reducido y la mayor altura de la cámara (hasta un 50% más de capacidad) significa que pueden manejar la mayoría de las botellas de medios estándar.

Mantenimiento de un autoclave

Un autoclave requiere un mantenimiento regular por nuestra seguridad y para que exista una funcionalidad adecuada en el equipo. Sin embargo, si hay algún problema con el funcionamiento de su autoclave, también debes asegurarte de contar con un soporte técnico confiable y de calidad.
