The compact top-loading QCS EV150 autoclave has been developed by Priorclave specifically to give laboratories with limited floor space the opportunity to acquire a versatile autoclave that affords easy loading and programming.  In addition to a standard format Priorclave is able to supply this autoclave in a vacuum.

Designed with a 150 litre chamber and depth of 720mm, the QCS EV150 offers the real practical benefits of being able to sterilise both short and tall items side by side in a single process to help labs increase sterilisation throughout.

To satisfy the requirements of laboratories wishing to carry out low-volume sterilisation of items such as bagged mixed plastic waste, tubing and narrow bore glass ware Priorclave has introduced the versatile MVA C40 benchtop vacuum autoclave.  

This model has a 5 program memory fitted as standard, giving the user the flexibility to switch the highly effective sterilising process easily from vacuum assisted to non-vacuum dependent on load. Effective sterilisation to destroy micro-organisms requires direct contact between the saturated steam and every surface of the load. The presence of air in the load can prevent direct contact with micro-organisms which are held...
