Priorclave benchtop autoclaves pack the performance and quality construction of a full-size, freestanding industrial autoclave into a footprint that fits any workspace. A quality research-grade benchtop autoclave offers all the flexibility, ease of use, and reliability that a small lab needs. Priorclave compact tabletop units offer plug-n-play simplicity but come with fully featured programmable control systems. They are perfect for media prep, liquid, and waste loads, a great fit for shared facilities and education.

This front-loading design, available with models of 40 or 60 litres capacity and including a host of features, enables laboratories to enjoy the full benefits of a feature-packed steam steriliser at an affordable price.
Models in this versatile range can be supplied for either single or multi-program as well as a choice of standard or highly efficient vacuum operation, adding further to its appeal for laboratories where space is limited, infrequent sterilisations take place or a more demanding medium requires faster processing.
Extremely easy to install, these benchtop autoclaves plug directly into an appropriate socket.
Ranges
Priorclave benchtop autoclaves are available in two ranges:
Base Range
The Base range covers “the basics” standard lab work (including media preparation), waste loads, and the like. These are available in both cylindrical and rectangular models.
- Media, liquids, and waste fluid
- Unwrapped instruments
- Sealed containers, including cans and pouches (requires air ballast and compressor)
- Fermenters, bioreactors
Priorclave's Base range of autoclaves is intended for research, quality assurance, and teaching labs that regularly need to handle “the basics”: media preparation, waste loads, and sterilizing loose instruments, open containers, and labware. Base units efficiently handle a wide variety of loads. Base models are especially useful for labs that need to run just a few cycles each day, do not need to have a dry load quickly, and largely focus on research tasks.
Easy maintenance and light resource consumption help ensure a low lifetime cost of ownership. Even the smallest benchtop Base Priorclave autoclave enjoys the same robust design, custom build, and quality components as their larger models. All Base models are piped and fitted to accommodate an optional air intake filtration system (if your application calls for this).
All Base models include fully featured programmable controls: create cycles that meet your specific needs, with custom cycle and dwell times, delays, temperature and pressure ramps, repeats, “media warming” periods, and so on. Base models come with 5 Program Memory, built-in cooling and free steaming systems, USB, drain protection (required by many building codes and not necessarily standard on all cost-conscious autoclaves on the market).
Smart Range
The Smart range of sterilisers is vacuum-equipped for greater flexibility. They can handle a wider range of loads (including mixed loads), produce drier loads, and offer expanded programming functions. These are available in both cylindrical and rectangular models.
- Media, liquids, and waste fluid
- Unwrapped instruments
- Sealed containers, including cans and pouches (requires air ballast and compressor)
- Fermenters, bioreactors
- Soil, substrate, plant tissue culture
- Plastic, glassware, mixed waste, tubing and pipettes for disposal
- Prosthetics, implants, devices
- Wrapped instruments, porous loads, clothing
- Pathogens, prions, biological agents (requires Effluent Retention Filter)
Smart models are intended for labs and facilities with greater or more diverse needs. They can adeptly handle standard tasks like media prep, waste loads, and labware, but they also are capable of pre-and post-cycle vacuum stages. As a result, Smart autoclaves produce drier loads and can more reliably sterilise trickier items, such as deep fermenters and boiling flasks (which tend to trap cold air). Smart Priorclaves are ideal for mixed waste loads (i.e., those composed of a combination of glassware, pipettes, reagents and biological waste or pathogen-heavy materials, etc.), cloth and textile sterilisation, soil and substrate preparation, wrapped instruments, complex instruments (composed of multiple materials), and porous loads.
Smart autoclaves are favoured by more demanding industrial, research, and production labs. These models are vacuum-equipped as standard. They process a wider range of loads with a wider range of cycles, more quickly processing more challenging loads more reliably.
All Smart models are equipped for both pre-cycle and post-cycle vacuum operations. Their fully featured programmable control systems have expanded memory, allowing you to program twice as many custom cycles (each with its own start delays, temperature and pressure ramps, repeats, dwell times, vacuum stages and timing, “media warming”/holding temperatures, etc.) Built-in cooling, free streaming, USB, drain protection, and air intake filtration are standard on all Smart models.
Each Priorclave autoclave is built to order, please request a quote to discuss your requirements.
