Dual-chamber stacked autoclaves for efficient sterilisation

In a laboratory environment, reliable results matter. Contamination could lead to testing inaccuracy. That’s why autoclaves are such an essential component in every lab. Busy environments with overlapping workstations can result in different individuals or teams, needing to use an autoclave at the same time, loads may also need to be segregated and sterilised separately for safety. This can result in a build-up, creating delays and potential safety hazards.  

With its clients’ needs in focus, Priorclave has developed a range of stacked autoclaves, with dual 150-litre or 200-litre capacity cylindrical chambers. These unique autoclaves enable a laboratory manager, who would otherwise require a 300 or 400-litre chamber, to obtain the same capacity in the footprint of a single autoclave half the size. 

Both Priorclave’s EH150STK and EH200STK stacked autoclaves feature two chambers that can also be used simultaneously or separately at differing times, each chamber having its own unique sterilisation settings, ensuring the correct temperature is used for the right length of time - with no need to compromise on results. Controlled by two Tactrol®3 process controllers, enabling all possible settings, from simple cycles to fully featured multi-program sterilising operations with printed records, all achieved at the press of a button. Settings and programming of functions are accessed through a keypad and are displayed on the high-resolution LCD panel, this has significant advantages in a laboratory environment allowing adjustments to be made and processes checked without the need to remove protective gloves. Having two separate chambers controlled by their own dedicated Tactrol®3 control unit ensures each chamber performs safely and efficiently every time. 

Priorclave’s EH150STK and EH200STK aren’t just flexible in functionality, they’re versatile for different sectors. From life sciences, pharmaceutical and industrial to agriculture, food production and brewing, from sterilisation to accelerated ageing tests - Priorclave’s autoclaves get the job done well. The modular design makes it even easier and quicker to make adjustments or upgrades at a later date, adapting your autoclave to your changing lab requirements. By eliminating corners from within the autoclave’s chamber, both models benefit from improved steam circulation, preventing cold pockets and ensuring complete sterilisation without excessive cycle times or chronic failed loads.  

As with every autoclave designed and built in Priorclave’s London manufacturing facility, exterior surfaces feature an anti-microbial finish which is highly effective at providing life-long control of harmful bacteria, further reducing the risk of cross-contamination. 

Priorclave knows just how important it is to correctly pair the right type of autoclave with your predicted workload, to ensure you save time, water, energy and funds.
