Get Greater Sterilizing Flexibility with Stackable Autoclaves from Priorclave
3 Feb 2017For laboratories with segregated loads waiting sterilization each requiring their own unique process settings may cause serious delays and create unsafe bottlenecks within a laboratory or cleanroom if they only use a single autoclave. Such situations can be overcome with the new range of front-loading stackable autoclaves being introduced by British manufacturer Priorclave. It brings greater versatility to autoclave usage with the ability to sterilize two distinct loads simultaneous, each with their own sterilization control setting.
The new stackable autoclave range initially comprises two standard arrangements, dual 150 liter models and dual 200 liter chamber capacities models. This give the lab manger initially looking for a 300 liter or 400 liter chamber machine the opportunity to investing in a dual 150 or 200 liter laboratory autoclave.
Now with added sterilizing flexibility in the lab, both chambers can be used to simultaneously handling the same type of waste, giving a maximum load of 300/400 liters or a series of single 150/200 liter loads starting as and when items become available. The real big plus factor is that the new stackable autoclaves enable laboratory staff to sterilize both waste and medium at the same time.
The alternative to achieving this flexibility is the purchase of two separate machines; the obvious downside is that double the floor space is required. For laboratories where space is accountable it is a costly choice, not only in required footprint but could that space be better utilized.
Priorclave’s EH150 and EH200 stackable laboratory autoclaves are expected to be used extensively within many industries sectors including education, life sciences, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, food and drink, dairy and brewing. They are built in the UK at the company’s manufacturing center to a modular design enabling easy upgrading during their working life as requirements change.
