Every Priorclave pass-through autoclave is entirely custom built to your laboratory specifications. Because our sterilizer units are all built-to-suit, we 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 sterilizer is capable of both pre-vacuum and pulsed freesteaming cycles. Autoclave chambers can range from 150 liters to 700 liters in volume, depending on the requirements of your laboratory. Our pass-through autoclaves are front loading, and have round and rectangular chambers.
Our autoclaves come equipped with the Tactrol® 2 Control System, which provides both safety and efficiency features as well as enabling you to automate the sterilization process. This includes automatic timed freesteaming, which improves air removal and sterilizing 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 sterilization 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-sterilization 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.
