Lab Stainless Steel Portable Dental Autoclave
OVERVIEW
Lab stainless steel portable dental autoclave's working principle
is to use saturated water vapor to affect the microorganisms on the
load for a certain period of time, so that the protein of the
microorganisms is denatured and the microorganisms die, so as to
achieve the purpose of sterilization.
STRUCTURE
(1) Pressure vessel: includes sterilization chamber, jacket, door, and other components
that are permanently connected to the sterilization chamber. It is
made of stainless steel and has a layer of thermal insulation
material.
(2) Sterilization room: space for the items to be sterilized
(3) Jacket: It surrounds the stainless steel structure welded on the surface
of the sterilization room to realize mechanical reinforcement and
temperature control of the sterilization room.
(4) Piping system
1. Steam entering pipeline: It is directly connected to the steam
source and sends the steam to the sterilization room or jacket.
2. Steam drain line: drain steam condensate.
3. Disinfection pipe of sterilization room: It connects the
sterilization room and the discharge line. It is a channel for the
gas and condensed water in the sterilization room to discharge to
the outside.
4. Water supply pipeline: Provide a working water source for the
sterilizer.
5. Return airline: Connect the sterilization room and the
atmosphere, and form a vacuum when the inner room is dry. Through
the return airline, the inner room is balanced with the outside
atmospheric pressure.
(5) Automatic door and sterilization chamber seal assembly
Use compressed air or steam to seal the automatic door from the
sterilization chamber
FAQ
1. What are the applications of autoclaves in biotechnology?
The autoclave is an instrument that is used for sterilization
purposes. It works on the principle of steam under pressure. The
Autoclave is an example of moist heat sterilization. It works at
121 degrees Celsius, for 15 min at 15 lb pressure depending on the
load. The steam kills all the bacterial spores, in addition to
fungi, bacteria, and viruses but it has no effect on prions. Prions
exhibit resistance to moist heat sterilization. It is widely used
for sterilizing media, glassware, pipettes, cultures, and many
others.
2. What is the difference between autoclave and sterilizer?
A sterilizer is a general term for any equipment that can
sterilize. An autoclave sterilizer is a specific device that
sterilizes equipment. ... Since an autoclave is a sterilizer, its
purpose is like sterilizers-to kill or remove all forms of life on
an object's surface such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores.
