Autoclaves Increase Biogas Production Threefold
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) — or biogas — is the quiet darling of alternative energy. It’s not a pretty process, fermenting organic waste materials like plant matter and manure to […]
Three Shortcomings of ‘Cold Sterilization’ for Mushroom Substrate
“Cold sterilization” of mushroom substrate is popular with early stage commercial mushroom growing operations. It’s low-tech, DIY, and can be cost effective. But cold sterilization isn’t always effective, and many […]
Mycology Laboratory Equipment and Techniques: Pasteurizing Mushroom Substrates via “Cold Sterilization”
“Cold sterilization” is a perennial hot topic when it comes to sterilizing and pasteurizing mushroom substrates. This chemical-based process (usually using low-magnesium hydrated lime) seems like a “best of both […]
The Right Autoclave for Streamlining Your Lab’s Growth Media Prep
Growth media preparation is the cornerstone of any microbiology lab. Not having the media you need when you need it—because someone forgot to start a batch or one failed—creates a […]
Do You Really Need “Clean Steam”?
Autoclave buyers are again wondering if their water and steam is “clean” enough. This is likely due to the publication of ISO/TS 5111:2022, or “Guidance on quality of water for […]
Advantages of Autoclaves for Accelerated Aging Tests
Accelerated aging is a vital part of most research and development. In many cases, an off-the-shelf environmental chamber is sufficient for accelerated aging tests. That’s even the case when testing […]
Retort vs. Autoclave: When to Use Which
Priorclave produces steam autoclaves for research and development in a number of sectors, including the food and beverage industry. While we do not produce an industrial-sized retort for food processing, […]
How to Sterilize Ashes without Fire: Aquamation “Water Cremation” Sterilization
If you’ve ever wondered how to sterilize ashes without flame cremation, alkaline hydrolysis is increasingly the answer. Also called “aquamation” (as in “water-cremation”) this is an innovative approach to the […]
“Short-Termism” in Laboratory Research: Are Good Ideas Getting Harder to Find?
Roughly two years ago, economist Nicholas Bloom co-authored a paper that set off laboratory research alarm bells around the world, asking “Are Ideas Getting Harder to Find?” They estimated that […]
Priorclave North America Celebrates their 10th Year
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Priorclave North America. We’ve spent the last decade expanding access to high-quality, high-efficiency autoclaves to research, education, and industrial labs across North America. […]
A Priorclave Steam Autoclave: A Lab Tool for Conservation
The more broadly we can distribute good tools and sound methods, the more likely we are to find sustainable answers. We don’t yet fully understand all of the harms we’ve […]
