Priorclave unveils autoclave for labs with limited space
The Priorclave C60 autoclave is for labs which are limited on floor space but need to sterilise tall items such as fermentors and large capacity Erlenmeyer flasks, or have a high-density load requirement.
It has a 60 litre stainless steel chamber to accommodate ten one-litre or sixteen 500ml bottles, or six one-litre Erlenmeyer flasks.
Through the push-button Tactrol 2 microprocessor control system users programme the sterilising parameters of time and temperature and select features such as free-steaming and media warming.
Free steaming can improve air removal in difficult loads and/or reduce temperature lag between the load and the autoclave, reducing process time at higher temperatures.
The media warming feature cycles the temperature between 45o to 55oC once the factory pre-set temperature of 45oC is reached, until the door is opened.
Access to the sterilising chamber is through the patented Quickseal single-action door closure/opening mechanism designed for one handed operation and incorporates thermal and pressure locks that prevent opening at unsafe temperatures and pressure to prevent personal injury.
It is available as a standard design or as a vacuum model, both are electrically heated with the elements contained within the chamber for faster and more efficient build-up of high-temperature, pressurised sterilising steam.
