📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the main advantage of a vertical autoclave like the LabSci 85LV?

Vertical autoclaves allow sterilization of larger and taller items that cannot fit in standard benchtop units, making them ideal for research labs and liquid processing.

Is this autoclave suitable for liquid sterilization?

Yes. It includes dual temperature probes specifically designed to prevent boil-over and ensure proper sterilization of liquids.

Can this unit handle large laboratory equipment?

Yes. The 85L chamber and vertical design are ideal for bulky items such as bioreactors and large containers.

Does this autoclave include pre-set sterilization programs?

Yes. It includes validated cycles for glass, plastic, liquid A, and liquid B (waste).

Can I create custom sterilization cycles?

Yes. The system allows you to create and store up to 16 custom cycles for specialized lab needs.

Is this autoclave suitable for clinical or dental use?

Not typically. It is designed for research and educational environments rather than clinical workflows.

Is this unit suitable for small labs with limited space?

No. As a floor-standing vertical autoclave, it requires sufficient space and is better suited for larger lab environments.
