Priorclave front-loading autoclave with a traditional cylindrical vessel is the best option available for research, education, and quality assurance facilities. A cylindrical chamber is better suited to high-pressure micro-environments, requires less reinforcement and insulation, and suffers less wear and tear over the life of the autoclave.

Each of their front-loading autoclaves is entirely custom built to your specifications, in terms of temperature and pressure levels as well as chamber size. A lower parts count, more efficient steam generation, lean cylindrical pressure vessel, and application-specific build don't just reduce the purchase price: It results in a more reliable autoclave that costs much less to own, operate, and maintain.
The advantages inherent in using a cylindrical-vessel sterilizer become especially apparent with large-volume front-loading autoclaves. By eliminating corners, the cylindrical vessel improves steam circulation, preventing cold pockets and assuring complete sterilization without excessive cycle times or chronically failed loads. Priorclave largest models go head-to-head with comparable conventional rectangular autoclaves, offering similar cycle times with lower maintenance burdens and substantial energy, water, and lifetime cost savings. Popular with community colleges, research facilities (small and large), universities, testing labs, and industrial operations.
High Capacity Cylindrical Front Loading Autoclaves
Priorclave front-loading sterilisers feature the programmable Tactrol Control System that allows for automatic steam sterilisation with precise custom cycles and one-touch simplicity. The external panels of the steam autoclave have Biomaster Protected® Antimicrobial Surfaces to help defend against cross-contamination by bacteria, mould, and mildew. The autoclave chamber and door are made of ASME-certified 316L stainless steel for increased durability and reliability.
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.
