Autoclave

Autoclave

This device was invented by a French microbiologist named Charles Chamberlain in 1879 and the meaning of this word in Latin means automatic key and is also composed of an inner foil layer that increases its temperature resistance during testing. In fact, the autoclave is a very large steel device that can be used as a very large pressure chamber that can be used in industrial designs that have the ability to operate under very high temperatures and pressures. In such a way that the very high pressure applied to the device may cause the autoclave to close automatically, but for greater security, the device is also manually locked. Another safety feature used for the device is the presence of a control valve that prevents excessive water vapor pressure inside the chamber. In essence, the autoclave is a device that contains steam that is made to sterilize laboratory materials and instruments.

Laboratory Autoclave

The most common and first type of autoclave is the laboratory type, which is used to sterilize laboratory equipment and culture media. With this device, all microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, etc., are destroyed. This device is made in a cylindrical shape and has the ability to adjust pressure and temperature. With the help of displays for these two parameters, they can be adjusted.

Hospital Autoclave

Hospitals are a good place for harmful microorganisms to grow. For this reason, instruments such as forceps and sutures are sterilized in hospitals with the help of an autoclave. This device is mostly used in operating rooms.

Clinical Autoclave

The clinical autoclave type is used in clinics and laboratories. This model of autoclave has a fast performance because it produces steam in a very short time and increases the temperature and pressure. Biology, genetics, microbiology and chemistry laboratories use clinical autoclaves. The size of this type of autoclave is large and is made in the form of a box with compartments.

Dental Autoclave

Dentistry is a very sensitive profession that always deals with the mouth, jaw and teeth. Therefore, the applied equipment must be sterilized regularly so that they do not cause various diseases. This type of autoclave is made as a desktop.

Concrete Autoclave

A concrete autoclave is used to make AAC lightweight concrete. It is cylindrical in shape and closed on one side. On the other side of this device is a door for the concrete to enter and exit.
