Autoclaves are also known as steam sterilizers and are typically used for healthcare or industrial applications. An autoclave is a machine that uses steam under pressure to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on items that are placed inside a pressure vessel. The items are heated to an appropriate sterilization temperature for a given amount of time. The moisture in the steam efficiently transfers heat to the items to destroy the protein structure of the bacteria and spores.

The costs of an autoclave can vary greatly because of the various uses and applications of this technology. Industrial and pharmaceutical autoclaves are customized and manufactured for a specific use and therefore costs are likely to differ compared to autoclaves you find in a hospital or dental office.

Digital 10 l, 23 l and 56 l incubators are compact and economically priced, yet offer features not typically found in a basic incubator. The housing is all metal, as is the door frame. See-through acrylic door lets you view contents without opening the door. One shelf for 10 l and two shelves for 23 l and 56 l models are included, and can be adjusted in different levels – additional shelves can be purchased to increase storage capacity.

The heating elements in the incubators are incorporated into the bottom and sides of the aluminum chamber. This provides better temperature stability and uniformity than other incubators in it’s class. A grommet hole in the top of the unit can hold a thermometer for accurate temperature setting
