Sada Medical PA-BM Portable Steam Sterilizer – 18L / 24L | Electric & LPG Heating for Labs, Clinics & Field Use

Sterilization That Goes Where You Need It

Not every sterilization task happens in a fully equipped CSSD. When you’re in a field lab, a rural clinic, a mobile veterinary unit, or a classroom where the nearest power outlet is unreliable, you need a sterilizer that adapts. The Sada Medical PA-BM Portable Steam Autoclave gives you the freedom of choice: plug it into a standard AC 220V wall outlet, or fire it up with an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) burner when electricity isn’t available.

Available in 18-liter and 24-liter chamber capacities, this small portable pressure steam sterilizer delivers a consistent 126°C saturated steam cycle in a fully stainless steel body that weighs as little as 14 kg. The double-scale pressure gauge, simple operating procedure, and reliable safety valve make it a practical, no-computer tool that anyone on your team can operate after a brief demonstration.

Why Labs and Clinics Choose the PA-BM

• Dual Heat Source – Electric or LPG
  The PA-BM is engineered with a heating base that accepts either an immersed electric heating element (2 kW, AC 220V 50Hz) or heat from an external LPG burner. When you have stable mains power, plug it in. When you’re in a remote location, set it over a gas flame. This dual-mode flexibility makes the PA-BM a favorite for portable lab sterilizers, mobile health camps, and veterinary field work where power supply is unpredictable.
• Fully Stainless Steel, Built to Travel
  The chamber, lid, and outer body are all constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. There are no plastic panels to crack during transport, no painted surfaces to chip. Despite its tough build, the 18L model weighs just 14 kg net and fits within a 410 × 410 × 430 mm footprint—compact enough to stow in a vehicle, cupboard, or under a lab bench. It’s a true portable autoclave machine that doesn’t sacrifice durability for portability.
• Simple, Safe Operation
  There’s no microprocessor, no touch screen, no complex programming. You add water, load your instruments, close the lid securely, and apply heat. A clear, easy-to-read double-scale indication pressure gauge lets you monitor both pressure and temperature at a glance. Once the working pressure of 0.14–0.16 MPa (126°C) is reached, you start timing the sterilization cycle manually. The safety valve opens automatically if pressure exceeds 0.165 MPa, preventing over-pressurization. After the cycle, simply turn off the heat and let the chamber cool before opening. This electric and LPG steam autoclave is as straightforward as sterilization gets.
• Reliable 126°C Sterilization
  The PA-BM operates at a working temperature of 126°C, sufficient for sterilizing unwrapped solid instruments, glassware, culture media, and small liquid volumes. While it doesn’t offer the 134°C pulse-vacuum of a Class B unit, it reliably kills vegetative bacteria, fungi, and most spores when operated for the appropriate hold time—exactly what’s needed for general-purpose laboratory sterilizer tasks.
• Double-Scale Pressure Gauge
  The built-in pressure gauge displays both pressure (MPa) and the corresponding saturated steam temperature. This dual indication eliminates guesswork and helps new operators understand the relationship between pressure and temperature. It’s a small detail that makes training faster and daily operation safer.
• Safety Valve and Tight-Sealing Lid
  The lid uses a bolt-tightened seal that locks down securely before heating. Should the internal pressure exceed 0.165 MPa, the safety valve automatically releases steam to bring the pressure back into safe working range. There’s no risk of explosion or uncontrolled steam release when the PA-BM is operated according to the manual.
• CE & ISO 13485 Certified Quality
  Manufactured under Sada Medical’s EN ISO 13485:2016 quality management system and CE marked, the PA-BM meets international safety and performance standards for medical and laboratory sterilization equipment.

Who Uses the PA-BM Portable Autoclave?

This small portable steam sterilizer is built for settings where mobility and simplicity matter more than complex automation:

• Field Laboratories & Mobile Testing Units – sterilizing sample containers, pipette tips, and media at remote collection sites
• Rural & Temporary Medical Clinics – processing speculums, forceps, scissors, and small surgical instruments where electricity is intermittent
• Veterinary Field Practices & Farm Calls – sterilizing surgical tools, syringes, and dental probes on location
• Dental Outreach & Mission Programs – portable instrument sterilization for pop-up clinics
• Tattoo & Body Piercing Studios – small-batch sterilization of grips, tubes, and needles in compact workspaces
• School & University Science Departments – teaching sterilization principles with a safe, observable autoclave
• Mycology, Microbiology & Home Lab Enthusiasts – sterilizing agar plates, tools, and substrates

If you’ve been searching for an LPG portable autoclave for field work, a small electric steam sterilizer for dental use, or a portable pressure cooker autoclave for laboratory, the PA-BM delivers the simplicity and reliability you’re looking for.

Technical Specifications

Both models include a safety valve, bolt-tightened lid, stainless steel inner basket, and user manual. LPG burner is not included; the heating base is compatible with standard portable gas stoves.
