Steam Sterilisation
Sterilization is the process of the destruction and elimination of all forms of microbial life, including bacteria and its sub-forms.
The laboratory autoclave consists of a vessel in which steam flows at a high pressure with a sterilization purpose.
Saturated steam will immediately condense and thus releasing its high evaporation heat, which is in fact the destructive
Agent. In order that sterilization would be effective, steam must be saturated and, consequently, all the air inside the vessel
Must be purged before initializing the process.
In the following pages j.p. Selecta offers an extensive range of autoclaves with a choice of atmospheric purging or vacuum
Purging systems. A choice of microprocessor controlled systems are offered including drying cycles at the end of
The sterilization cycle.
