Labclave-L Autoclave: Full Control Over Autoclave Sterilisation Temperatures from 105 – 140°C

When it comes to laboratory sterilisation, temperature precision is critical. That’s why we’ve enhanced the Labclave-L Autoclave with a broader operating range of 105 – 140°C, giving you greater control over autoclave sterilisation temperatures and making it easier to meet a wide variety of sterilisation needs.

Whether you’re sterilising surgical instruments, culture media, lab glassware or heat-sensitive materials, the Labclave-L now offers the flexibility and performance needed for compliance and efficiency.

Why Autoclave Temperature Matters

The effectiveness of steam sterilisation depends heavily on both temperature and holding time with different loads demanding different conditions. By enhancing the Labclave-L autoclave’s temperature range, we have ensured that users can now run both high-temperature, short-duration cycles and low-temperature, extended-time cycles, all on a single autoclave.

Here’s a breakdown of commonly used sterilisation cycles:

This is where autoclave holding time requirements play a key role. A cycle at 134 – 137°C can achieve the same sterility assurance level as a 121°C cycle, but in a fraction of the time, making the Labclave-L ideal for busy facilities with heavy throughput.

Flexible Cycles for Diverse Laboratory Loads

One of the standout features of the upgraded Labclave-L is its adaptability. As a flexible cycle autoclave with up to 20-programmable cycles, it supports a wide range of applications. This allows users to fine-tune sterilisation parameters to suit specific load types, whether you’re working with heat-sensitive materials or high-risk waste.

The enhanced 105 – 140°C temperature range enables:

• Low-temperature cycles (e.g. 105 – 121°C) for sensitive plastics, rubber materials, pipettes, sealed liquids, media, and other heat-sensitive materials
• High-performance cycles (134 – 140°C) for fast, efficient sterilisation of instruments and porous loads
• Discard waste sterilisation at higher temperatures (e.g. 134°C for ≥3 minutes), offering faster cycle times and improved assurance of pathogen inactivation — ideal for media plates, contaminated culture tubes, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), provided the containers are rated for high heat
• Custom programmable cycles to meet your specific laboratory sterilisation protocols

This level of flexibility allows laboratories to safely sterilise everything from reusable instruments and culture media to high-risk discard waste, all with precision and efficiency, reducing cycle time without compromising on decontamination standards.
