Vertical Autoclave

Vertical autoclave is an instrument that can kill or remove all microorganisms on the medium, including bacterial spores and non-pathogenic microorganisms. There are usually three methods moist heat disinfection, dry heat disinfection, and chemical disinfection.

This series is a high-pressure steam sterilizer, which uses saturated pressure steam to quickly and reliably sterilize and sterilize items. It is suitable for medical and health, scientific research, agricultural, and other units. It can sterilize medical equipment, glassware, solution culture medium, mushroom planting substrate, etc.

Drawell autoclaves including vertical autoclave and portable autoclave.

Features of Vertical Autoclave

  1. Good sterilization effect: the steam sterilizer can inactivate the microorganisms in the article in a short time, and the sterilization effect is good.
  2. Easy to operate: The steam sterilizer is easy to operate, just put the items into the sterilization chamber, and then set the sterilization time and temperature.
  3. Safe and reliable: The steam sterilizer has multiple safety protection measures, such as over-temperature protection, pressure protection, automatic drainage, etc., to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation process.

How Does A Vertical Autoclave Sterilize Materials?

Drawell’s vertical autoclave uses pressurized saturated steam to kill all forms of microbial life, including spores.

  1. Loading: Place instruments or materials into the inner chamber.
  2. Lid Sealing: The top lid is locked with clamps or a locking ring for safety.
  3. Air Removal: Displaces air using gravity displacement or pre-vacuum cycles.
  4. Sterilization Phase: Heats to 121℃ (15 psi) or 134℃ (30 psi) for a set duration.
  5. Exhaust & Drying: Steam is released; some models include drying cycles.

Common Problems and Solutions for Vertical Autoclaves

  1. Temperature Not Reached—Check the heating element and ensure the water level is adequate.
  2. Steam Leaks—Check the lid gasket and locking clips.
  3. Wet Loads—Avoid overloading and ensure the dry cycle is working properly.
  4. Pressure Drops During Cycle—This could be caused by a faulty or leaky valve.

How Does A Vertical Autoclave Differ From A Horizontal Or Benchtop Autoclave?

A vertical autoclave is a cylindrical, upright steam sterilizer with a lid that opens from the top. Instruments and materials are placed vertically within the sterilization chamber.

Compared to horizontal autoclaves, vertical autoclaves typically have a smaller footprint, making them ideal for laboratories, hospitals, and research institutions with limited floor space. They are particularly well-suited for sterilizing liquid culture media, glassware, culture media, and surgical instruments.

Vertical autoclaves are suitable for glassware, culture media, laboratory instruments, dressings, rubber items, solutions and other steam-resistant materials.

Drawell vertical autoclaves cover a wide capacity range from 29L up to 300L, depending on the series and configuration.

The temperature range depends on the model. Selected advanced systems provide sterilization temperatures up to 138°C, while DW-B models operate at 100–134°C.

Yes, on selected models. DW-FD-R / DW-GI-TR provide drying configurations, while the DW-GF-DR Series supports automatic drying after sterilization.

Yes. Selected DW-HD, DW-LD, DW-GI, DW-GR and DW-GF Series provide automatic or fan-assisted cooling to shorten the cooling stage after sterilization.

Advanced DW-GF models also provide real-time temperature, pressure and lid-status monitoring.

SUS304 is standard on selected Drawell vertical autoclaves and is suitable for routine sterilization.

For applications requiring greater corrosion resistance, SUS316L is available as an option on selected advanced models.

Do not use the autoclave for flammable, explosive, readily oxidizable materials or strong acid, alkali and high-salt solutions unless the equipment and method are specifically designed for them.
