Moist heat sterilization autoclaves

Moist heat sterilization technology is the most widely used given its versatility and effectiveness for heat resistant products. Depending on the type of product to be sterilized, different techniques are used:

• Steam sterilization
• Steam-air mixture sterilization
• Steam-water mixture sterilization

Steam sterilization is basically used to sterilize different types of solid materials: clothing, stainless steel equipment, filters, component parts of other equipment, etc., and also for liquids in sealed or ventilated containers, etc.

Steam-air mixture and steam-water mixture sterilization autoclaves have been specially designed for the terminal sterilization of liquid solutions in sealed glass or plastic containers and the process controls the differential pressure existing between the inside of the container and the chamber.
