There are two key differences between standard autoclaves and laboratory autoclaves.
1. Purpose of Use
Laboratory autoclaves can sterilise a wider range of materials. They include a movable temperature probe that can be submerged in liquids, which is essential for laboratory workflows.
2. Size and Capacity
Laboratory models typically have larger chambers to accommodate items such as bottles, flasks and liquids. In comparison, smaller autoclaves are suitable for settings that sterilise wrapped instruments only, such as beauty or personal services.
