Process steps: Water is heated to generate steam. Steam fills the chamber and displaces air. Pressure increases, raising temperature to 121–134 °C. High-temperature steam destroys microorganisms. Sterilization is maintained for a specific time. Pressure is released and materials are removed. This process kills: bacteria viruses fungi bacterial spores Uses / Applications The STURDY SA-232 autoclave is used for sterilizing: Medical / Dental Surgical instruments Dental tools Dressing packs Glassware Laboratory Culture media Petri dishes Test tubes Pipettes Laboratory glassware Research / Biotechnology Microbiological materials Waste before disposal Industrial / Educational Laboratory equipment in schools Pharmaceutical preparation materials Advantages Reliable sterilization method Simple operation Compact tabletop design Low operating cost High safety features ✅ Summary:The STURDY SA-232 steam sterilizer is a compact bench-top autoclave designed for sterilizing medical and laboratory instruments using high-temperature pressurized steam, ensuring complete elimination of microorganisms.
