Precision Autoclaving Starts in 10 Days

Don't wait for greatness!

Waiting for something great to happen can often feel like the hardest part of the process. But for autoclave users in the UK, that wait just got a whole lot shorter. Astell is proud to announce a significant development: the lead time between ordering and receiving one of their most popular autoclaves is now just ten working days.

To meet the increasing demand for their ever-popular benchtop and compact top-loading models — including the time-, energy-, and water-saving Ecofill range — Astell is now maintaining an on-site stock of autoclaves, ready to ship directly to your lab. Once payment is received, your unit undergoes final checks before being despatched to your location.

Even better, every autoclave currently available for dispatch is plug-and-play. That means they’re ready to use straight out of the box: simply plug them in, fill them with water, and start autoclaving — no plumbing required, and all you need is a standard domestic electrical socket.

But what to do in the ten days before your new autoclave arrives? To help the time fly by, we've put together a list of ten articles and videos you can explore in the countdown to New Autoclave Day!
