  • Sterilization: Along with the usual jobs sterilizing liquids, glassware, instruments, apparatus, and waste, these Tactrol-controlled benchtop autoclaves are excellent for preparing laboratory media; flexible programming makes it possible to pre-warm media, eliminating “morning down time” as technicians wait for the benchtop autoclave to come up to temperature.
  • General Applications: Priorclave table top autoclaves are increasingly popular outside of traditional settings, including advanced dairy operations, breweries, testing facilities, and commercial kitchens. Benchtop sterilizers open up new possibilities in food preparation, materials testing, plastic molding, the accelerated curing of construction materials, and more.

Priorclave’s Compact 40 and 60 liter benchtop models offer a host of standard features:

  • Optimum efficiency and sterilization: high-quality cylindrical pressure vessels heat quickly and circulate steam freely
  • Added safety: Quickseal II single-action doors have thermal and pressure locks to prevent dangerous mistakes (perfect for education and training sites)
  • No hot spots:  Thermally insulated external panels and surfaces make for easy placement and use, even in crowded facilities

Priorclave benchtop autoclaves come equipped with the time-tested Tactrol microprocessor control system, offering ease of use without sacrificing powerful programming capabilities. The Tactrol system is one of the few controllers on the market with a permission-based door release system, making it virtually impossible to inadvertently open the autoclave mid-cycle.

Even the smallest Priorclave benchtop autoclaves feature Biomaster Protected® Antibacterial Surfaces. All epoxy coated panels and frame members are treated with this revolutionary antimicrobial coating, providing a second line of defense to minimize the risk of cross contamination. Extensive validation has been carried out using independent laboratories, with data showing Biomaster inhibits bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Priorclave benchtop sterilizers can be customized for your specific application:

Every Priorclave benchtop sterilizer comes standard with two stainless steel loading shelves and a fan-based air cooling system. We pride ourselves on the flexibility of our core design, which can easily be modified with many optional features and use-specific accessories, from mounting stands and stainless steel waste containers to expanded controller modules and modes of operation. These benchtop autoclaves can also be built as vacuum models for better processing of laboratory-grade waste and glassware, or custom designed to suit your needs.
