About Autoclaves and Sterilizers

Autoclaves are used for applications requiring constant pressure and temperature for long periods of time.  Common applications include the sterilization of instruments and polymerization of rubbers and plastics.  Autoclaves and sterilizers may use a number of technologies to perform equipment sterilization.  These include heating, chemical sterilization, or ultraviolet light.

The majority of autoclaves function using some form of heat.  In all of these cases, the autoclave must maintain a temperature of at least 246 degrees for 30 minutes in order to fully sterilize equipment.  Both dry heat and steam heat autoclaves are available.  Steam autoclaves are far more common, using heated, vaporized water to kill pathogens.  Dry heat autoclaves use dry heat to sterilize instruments.  They are used in cases where heating is the preferred method of pathogen destruction, but moisture could damage the inserted instruments, either through immediate contact or rust generation.

Industrial Ovens
Industrial ovens are batch or continuous process enclosures or tunnels that are insulated and used for thermal processing. Ovens are lower temperature (usually < 1400° F) thermal processing units, usually without refractory insulation.
Laboratory Ovens
Laboratory ovens are used in a variety of thermal processing applications including general lab work, component and stability testing, core hardening, drying glassware, and sterilizing. 
Vacuum Ovens
Vacuum ovens are heat-treating ovens that use a low atmospheric pressure instead of a protective gas atmosphere. This helps to alleviate surface reactions.
