At this year’s Medica show, to be held in Düsseldorf from 18-21 November 2009, Priorclave will again give visitors an opportunity to step into an autoclave on their stand (number 1E02, located in hall 1). A representative selection of their electrically heated bench-top and top and front-loading models will be on display.

Priorclave has more than 20 years’ experience of supplying autoclaves to laboratories with industry-wide applications, manufacturing and supplying varying models from the 40l capacity bench-top version to rectangular models of 700l capacities and above. Many of these are available as pass-through double-door versions and all standard models employ the sophisticated and versatile TACTROL® microprocessor control system, allowing all types of use from simple to complex cycles.

All models from the standard range feature the unique BioCote® anti-microbial coating, clinically proven to be effective against microbial growth on working surfaces and a valuable second line of defence in the fight against cross-infection in the laboratory. They are the only autoclaves proven by rigorous testing to render micro-organisms harmless even when turned off.

Also on display at Medica 2009 will be Priorclave’s 125l bench-top OPAL autoclave with optional mounting stand. The OPAL range provides a low-cost alternative to the increasingly sophisticated and complex equipment generally available in the market but has been specifically designed to perform everyday laboratory autoclaving functions such as growth media preparation and laboratory waste sterilisation.

It is intended to enable laboratories with a more basic need to perform these operations within their own laboratory to specific requirements, without unnecessary expenditure on additional functions and control systems often fitted as standard on today’s autoclaves.

The 125l model on show will soon be joined in this entry-level, four-model range by a 35l bench-top and 55l and 95l top-loading models.

Priorclave’s Tony Collins and Paul Richardson will be on hand to talk about the range and help you find the ideal solution to all your autoclaving needs.
