HP-P14 Vertical Autoclave with Dryer
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- HP-P14 is the fourth and last Dry-version vertical autoclave, HP-P11 to HP-P14.
- In laboratory use, the drying function returns glassware and tools ready to use or store.
- Liquid loads need a slow-exhaust cycle rather than a drying cycle; confirm the HP-P14 programs on the data sheet.
HP-P14 is the fourth and last model in the Dry version of our vertical line. As an autoclave with dryer for laboratory use, it sterilizes in an upright, top-loading chamber and then dries glassware and tools so they come out ready to use or store.
HP-P14 closes the Dry range after HP-P13. Labs choosing between a Spiral-version unit (HP-P03 or HP-P05) and HP-P14 should decide first whether glassware must come out dry: the Dry version is the one whose model name specifies a drying function.

Frequently asked questions
+Do laboratories need an autoclave with a dryer?
Not always. Labs that sterilize mostly liquids and waste can use a standard unit. A dryer helps when glassware, tools or wrapped kits must be used or stored dry straight after the cycle. Tell us your load mix and we confirm whether HP-P14 is the right fit.
+Dry vs wet cycle: which should a lab use for media?
Media and other liquids run on a liquid cycle with slow exhaust and no drying, to prevent boil-over. An autoclave drying cycle is for glassware, tools and wrapped items. Check the HP-P14 program list on its data sheet.
+Can you autoclave pipette tips and plastic racks?
Yes, if they are made of autoclavable plastic such as polypropylene and marked as autoclavable. Load them in racks or boxes with lids slightly open, and use a drying stage so they are not stored wet.
+What water should I use in a laboratory autoclave?
Distilled or deionized water. Hard tap water leaves scale on the chamber and heater and can spot glassware. Replace the water as the manual specifies.
