Gas Autoclave (Product Code: SLE/LA/04) is a gas-heated autoclave sterilizer used to sterilise media, glassware and instruments in school, college and teaching laboratories that run on natural or bottled gas. Its seamless aluminium body and lid are sealed airtight by a rubber gasket and tightening bolts, and the lid carries a pressure gauge and double safety valve for work at 15 psi. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Built on the familiar pressure cooker autoclave pattern used across India, the unit sits on a gas ring or burner and sterilises agar media, broth tubes, glass Petri dishes, forceps and scalpels for microbiology and biology practicals, then decontaminates used cultures at the end of a session. The gauge lets the teacher watch the build-up to 15 psi and time the holding period, while the double safety valve provides a second route for excess pressure. When closing, tighten the bolts a little at a time in opposite pairs so the rubber gasket compresses evenly and the lid seals all round.
Colleges setting up microbiology lab equipment in buildings without a heavy electrical supply often prefer a gas-fired model, since heating does not load the mains. After the run, turn off the gas, allow the gauge to return to zero and only then loosen the bolts.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Gas Autoclave. Each unit is made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, not bought in from a trader, so gaskets, bolts and other replacement parts can be requested from the manufacturer itself — just ask us. Institutions, dealers and importers receive factory-direct quotations. Company background is on our company profile.

Which gas supply does the Gas Autoclave need?
The Gas Autoclave is suitable for natural gas or bottled gas. Place it on a stable burner or gas stove sized to carry the loaded vessel, and keep the flame steady so pressure builds evenly to the 15 psi working level.
Is a gas burner supplied with the Gas Autoclave?
A burner is not listed as part of the standard supply of the Gas Autoclave. If you need one quoted alongside it, tell us on the contact page; a Gas Lighter, Piezo Electric is also available for lighting the burner safely.
How is the lid of the Gas Autoclave sealed?
The Gas Autoclave lid is sealed by a rubber gasket that makes lid and body airtight when the tightening bolts and nuts are done up. Tighten them a little at a time in opposite pairs so the gasket compresses evenly all round.
What pressure does the Gas Autoclave work at?
The Gas Autoclave works at 15 psi, monitored on the pressure gauge fitted to the lid, while the double safety valve gives a second route for excess pressure. Turn off the gas and wait for the gauge to read zero before loosening the bolts.
What is the chamber capacity of the Gas Autoclave?
Chamber capacity is not stated in the current listing for the Gas Autoclave. We confirm it with the quotation on request, so mention the size of flasks, tube racks or baskets you plan to load when you contact us.

Can the pressure gauge of the Gas Autoclave be supplied with a calibration certificate?
Calibration certificate availability for the Gas Autoclave pressure gauge should be discussed with us before you order. Mention the requirement in your enquiry and we will confirm what documentation can accompany the unit.
Do you handle bulk and export orders for the Gas Autoclave?
