HOPE INTERNATIONAL lists HP-N08 as model 2 of 6 in the HP-N07–N12 vertical group: a vertical autoclave of the pressure steam type. Its multi-clamp lid sets it apart from the hand-wheel lids of the HP-N13–N16 and HP-N17–N23 vertical groups. Per-model data sheets let you compare HP-N08 with HP-N07 and HP-N09.
Key Features
- Floor-standing vertical format – larger loads than a table top unit on a small footprint.
- As shown in the photo – a cabinet on castor wheels with a top lid secured by a ring of clamp knobs, plus a pressure gauge and digital control panel on the front.
- Six models, one design – HP-N08 sits between HP-N07 and HP-N09; compare neighboring data sheets.
- No chemical sterilant – steam and pressure do the work; the running inputs are water and heat.
Applications
Laboratories use a vertical unit like HP-N08 for media, glassware and autoclavable plastics; hospitals use it for instrument sets, drums and linen where a horizontal CSSD machine would be oversized. Wards that outgrow a table top unit usually move up to a vertical steam sterilizer, which also serves as a laboratory autoclave for media and glassware.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N08; add HP-N07 and HP-N09 if you are still choosing a size.
- Freight – ask for packed dimensions and gross weight of HP-N08 to plan courier, air or sea freight.
- Baskets and drums – ask how many baskets come with HP-N08 and whether your dressing drums fit.
- Drying – for wrapped packs or linen, ask whether HP-N08 dries the load or a drying model such as HP-P11 fits better.
- Quantity – units of HP-N08 and any HP-N models to ship together.

An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N08 will be installed and we will confirm which pressure-vessel, electrical-safety and registration documents apply; ask for the data sheet and operating manual with your quote.
Frequently asked questions
+What is a vertical autoclave like HP-N08 used for?
Hospitals use vertical autoclaves for instrument sets, drums and linen on wards and in theatres without a CSSD; laboratories use them for media, glassware and autoclavable plastics. We confirm the programs available on HP-N08 with the quotation.
+How do you operate a vertical autoclave?
Fill water to the mark, lower the baskets in, seal the lid evenly, select the program and run it; open only after pressure returns to zero and the load has cooled. Train staff on the HP-N08 manual and keep a cycle log.
+What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal autoclave?
The chamber orientation decides how you load: top-loading baskets in a vertical unit, front-loading racks and trays in a horizontal one. Horizontal units usually carry larger chambers and need more installation planning. HP-N08 is a vertical autoclave; compare it with the HP-N36–N46 horizontal group if you are unsure which format fits.
+How does HP-N08 compare with the other HP-N07–N12 models?
HP-N08 is the second of six models built on the same vertical body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N08 – and for HP-N07 and HP-N09 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
