High-Throughput Autoclave Cuts Sterilisation Costs

11 August 2022

Priorclave front-loading laboratory and research grade autoclaves offer exceptional reliability and unparalleled energy, water, and lifetime cost savings, and are one of the first to receive an ACT certificate that quantities its superb energy efficiency credentials.

The Q63 models with a taller chamber profile than that found in most ‘cylindrical’ machines can boost lab efficiency and low costs by sterilising larger bulky items as well as small and taller items in a single process. They are available in both BASE and SMART categories, incorporating more features as standard.
 
Introduction of the new categories by Priorclave simplifies the autoclave selection process, enabling customers to choose the best model for their needs. Typically, the BASE range covers “the basics”,  media preparation, waste loads, and sterilizing loose instruments, open containers, and labware.
 
The SMART range is intended for industrial, research, and production labs and facilities with greater or more diverse needs. They adeptly handle standard tasks (e.g., media prep, waste loads, labware) but can also produce drier loads and more reliably handle complex loads that tend to trap air. Ideal for mixed waste, biological waste, pathogen-heavy materials, cloth and textile sterilization, soil and substrate preparation, wrapped instruments, and porous loads. These sterilizers feature fully customizable cycles (with expanded memory), pre-cycle and post-cycle vacuum, integrated cooling and freesteaming, and air intake filtration.
 
Since chamber size has a major influence on autoclave selection, Priorclave purposefully designed the cylindrical chamber of the Q63 with a taller profile than that found in most ‘cylindrical’ machines. It has a 630mm chamber which is 1025mm deep and a low convenient loading height of just 725mm. The impressive load capacity has proven to give lab equipment purchaser a strong viable alternative to large more costly rectangular chamber autoclaves.
 
All operating settings are programmed easily through the Tactrol®3 microprocessor controller which is standard across the entire Priorclave range.
 
The build quality of the Q63 – 320L front loading laboratory and research grade autoclaves incorporate epoxy coated panels and frame members which are treated with an anti-bacterial agent. This is a highly effective and permanent treatment for lifelong control of harmful bacteria and protection against the threat of cross contamination. This tough special epoxy finish is proven to reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99% and is highly effective against MRSA, E.coli, Listeria, Legionella, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and over 50 other species.
 .
The Priorclave Q63 320 litre autoclave provides laboratories a real opportunity to consider this more economically priced cylindrical chamber design rather than investing in a large rectangular chamber steam steriliser when large loads require sterilisations. Users of the Q63 autoclave may also benefit from lower overall running costs associated with reduced power and water usage.

Priorclave is a British autoclave design engineering company with its own dedicated UK manufacturing centre. It produces an impressive range of top and front-loading steam sterilisers including benchtop as well as front loading cylindrical and rectangular machine, power door and pass-through and stackable designs. The Priorclave brand, a household name within the global laboratory autoclave market, has become synonymous with quality, reliability and highly efficient autoclaving processes.
