Priorclave is a global supplier of autoclaves optimised for research, education, industry, and innovation. Since 1988, our in-house teams have been building reliable custom autoclaves for innovators on every continent. We offer long-term service and support for our autoclaves, and supply the high-quality accessories and consumables our customers need to get the job done.
Reliable Autoclave Design and Construction
At Priorclave, we have created one of the largest ranges of standard steam sterilisers on the market today, with chamber sizes from 40 to 700 liters. These include compact bench-top front-loaders, free-standing top-loading and high capacity front-loading autoclaves, custom pass-through double-ended machines, and more. Every unit is ETL-listed and EMC-certified, entirely manufactured in our UKAS-accredited facility, with ASME-stamped, CE-Marked, PED-certified pressure vessels.
In contrast to many manufacturers (who rely on the economies of scale that come with strict assembly line production) every Priorclave is individually crafted in our London facility. We can incorporate any option into even the smallest machines, and eliminate unneeded functions, which lowers costs while increasing reliability.
Many of the autoclave design and production innovations we pioneered are now common industry-wide:
- Low loading heights
- Compact designs
- Modular construction for easy upgrading
- Standard features like thermal safety locks and anti-microbial coatings
- Dedicated media warming cycles
- Vacuum-assisted cooling
- Fully featured programmable controllers on all models and sizes
Why did these ideas spread? Because they work—ensuring a long lifespan of safe, smooth operation.
But what’s truly unique is our process: We pride ourselves on designing and fabricating solutions for customers in any field, anywhere in the world, with any number of operational constraints or requirements. From our initial conversations through the hand assembly of your unit in our London facility, we learn everything we can about your needs so that we can properly support your work for years to come.
We build locally and support globally, with installations in every corner of the globe: Asia Pacific, Middle East, North and South America, Russia, Papua New Guinea, Mauritius, Ecuador, Antarctica, and even in research vessels sailing the high seas. All autoclaves leaving our UK manufacturing plant are built under stringent production control policies to ensure they meet international standards.

You can rest assured that your Priorclave machine will pass all audits with flying colors.
All Priorclave installations are supported by a dedicated team of service engineers and advisors at our facility. For your convenience, we offer local support through our global network of authorised distributors and service agents.
