Priorclave Pass-through autoclaves enable sealed laboratory environments to be maintained, with door interlocks preventing potential for laboratory standards to be compromised. Every double-door autoclave provides a sterile path in and out of sealed laboratories.
Priorclave offers a variety of flexible pass-through (double-ended) choices with all of the sophisticated containment and safety features you expect from units twice as expensive. Their pass-through autoclaves are used in universities, mobile military facilities, BSL-3 containment suites, and research labs dedicated to West Nile and avian flu, pharmaceuticals, entomology, industrial product development, and more.

Every Priorclave pass-through autoclave is entirely custom built to your laboratory specifications. Because their steriliser units are all built-to-suit, they can accommodate an almost unlimited number of design considerations specific to your applications and facility: chamber size, steam source, wall thickness, door swing, stainless steel loading shelves and doors, and so on. If you purchase vacuum options, the steriliser is capable of both pre-vacuum and pulsed free steaming cycles. Autoclave chambers can range from 150 litres to 700 litres in volume, depending on the requirements of your laboratory. Priorclave pass-through autoclaves are front loading and have round and rectangular chambers.
Priorclave autoclaves come equipped with the Tactrol® 2 Control System, which provides both safety and efficiency features as well as enables you to automate the sterilisation process. This includes automatic timed free steaming, which improves air removal and sterilising performance. The Tactrol® control panel can be mounted either inside or outside the containment area (depending on the application), as can any data ports or the hardware printer. The panel can provide visual feedback for where the autoclave is in the sterilisation cycle (vacuum, media warming, cooling, etc.).
Pressure interlocks, thermal safety locks, and double-door interlock mechanisms prevent any inadvertent cycle disruptions or breaching of containment integrity. We regularly outfit our BSL-3 (biosafety level 3) pass-through autoclaves with Effluent Retention systems, which include condensate re-sterilisation and 0.05-micron filters in the vent outlet (capable of capturing organisms as small as viruses). These are required by law in some biosafety contexts, but also valuable in non-BSL settings where waste loads are frequently processed. Our double-door autoclaves also feature epoxy coated panels and frame members which are treated with an anti-bacterial agent which is effective against all bacteria and fungi including MRSA.
