Elevating autoclave performance

31 Oct, 2025

Top-loading autoclaves, such as Priorclave’s EV150-SMART, remain one of the best-selling autoclaves worldwide because of their capacity to process the tallest objects in their vertically oriented chamber.

Built to last repeated regular use, the cylindrical pressure vessel comes with a 10-year warranty and is insurance-approved. The EV150-SMART is also vacuum-equipped, enabling it to tackle challenging loads and achieve greater steam penetration, utilising pulsed freesteaming in the pre-cycle vacuum phase, and vacuum-assisted drying post-cycle for a much dryer finished load.

Full control is achieved through Priorclave’s exclusive Tactrol®3 control unit, enabling precise cycle programming without compromising ease of use. Features such as Delayed Start and Media Warming are particularly valued in research environments, allowing growth media to be sterilised overnight and held at optimal dispensing temperature -minimising the risk of thermal degradation, caramelisation of high glucose formulations, or boil over events. This enables media to be prepared overnight and kept at a usable temperature, ready for immediate use in the morning. To ensure lab safety at all times, the EV150-SMART is fitted with a Quickseal single action door, equipped with both thermal and pressure interlocks that prevent opening at temperatures above 80°C or pressures over 0.2 bar.

Ideally complemented with Priorclave’s Loadlite electric hoist, which reduces the risk of back strain and enables everyone to safely lift loads with push-button ease.  

Optimised for robust laboratory and industrial use, the EV150-SMART is especially well-suited to daily media preparation and waste loads, lab glassware sterilisation, quality assurance, and destruction/shelf-life testing. The benefit of purchasing a Priorclave autoclave is that every model can be tailored to suit your specific requirements, eliminating superfluous features, helping you to save time and money.
