The Priorclave C60 autoclave is for labs which are limited on floor space but need to sterilise tall items such as fermentors and large capacity Erlenmeyer flasks, or have a high-density load requirement.
It has a 60 litre stainless steel chamber to accommodate ten one-litre or sixteen 500ml bottles, or six one-litre Erlenmeyer flasks.
Through the push-button Tactrol 2 microprocessor control system users programme the sterilising parameters of time and temperature and select features such as free-steaming and media warming.
Free steaming can improve air removal in difficult loads and/or reduce temperature lag between the load and the autoclave, reducing process time at higher temperatures.
The media warming feature cycles the temperature between 45o to 55oC once the factory pre-set temperature of 45oC is reached, until the door is opened.
Access to the sterilising chamber is through the patented Quickseal single-action door closure/opening mechanism designed for one handed operation and incorporates thermal and pressure locks that prevent opening at unsafe temperatures and pressure to prevent personal injury.
It is available as a standard design or as a vacuum model, both are electrically heated with the elements contained within the chamber for faster and more efficient build-up of high-temperature, pressurised sterilising steam.
