Product type
A horizontal autoclave is a type of sterilization equipment commonly used in laboratories and medical facilities. It operates by using steam under pressure to eliminate microorganisms, ensuring that instruments and materials are sterile and safe for use. Typically constructed from stainless steel, these autoclaves are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures during the sterilization process.
