VWR® Vertical Autoclaves (Top-Loading) are designed for high-throughput sterilisation of culture media, liquid solutions, glassware, instruments, plasticware, and biohazardous waste in microbiology, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories. The vertical, top-loading chamber design maximises capacity for large items such as tall bottles, Erlenmeyer flasks, and large volume bags. Key features include: programmable sterilisation cycles (gravity, pre-vacuum, liquid, and waste cycles), digital PID temperature controller, automatic over-pressure safety valve, chamber temperature probe for accurate process control, and a safety interlocking lid that prevents opening under pressure. Available from 25 L to 100 L chamber capacity. CE-marked and compliant with EN 61010-1 laboratory safety and EU pressure directive 97/23/EC.
