At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, there are hundreds of autoclaves on campus. Until a few years ago, all but two were steam jacketed. Nick Ciancio, UofA-B’s sustainability coordinator […]

Soil sterilization is notoriously hard on autoclaves. In part, this is simply because the soil sterilization process is inherently challenging. Soil is heavy, dense, and hard to permeate with steam […]

Grain sterilization is vital to mushroom cultivation. Grain isn’t just a good high-nutrient addition to bulk substrates like sawdust or wood pellets. It’s also an ideal base for producing mushroom […]

Kelly McVey is an Instructional Support Technician for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University, Fullerton. There, she’s trained hundreds of people in safe autoclave use, with […]

As you compare autoclaves for your lab, you may find some manufacturers are quoting prices that seem extremely attractive. This is especially the case when you factor in recent supply […]

As a matter of course, Priorclave sales director Lee Oakley likes to be certain that a site survey is completed as early as possible—well before a buyer has placed an […]

Customers often ask us: “Do I Need a GLP or GMP Autoclave?” Usually, the answer is “No, you don’t.” That’s because, in the grand scheme of things, only a narrow […]

If the last year has shown us nothing else, it’s the huge impact biotechnology and pharmaceutical research has on our lives. But according to a recent study from My Green […]

This past spring, a 2020 article in Labmate Online came to our attention: “Energy Efficient Autoclaves —Misconceptions and Misunderstanding.” Owing to our longstanding interest in energy efficient autoclaves and sustainable […]

An autoclave can have a major impact on your building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and indoor air quality. Occasionally, it’s a catastrophic impact. That was the case […]

Too many mycology labs and mushroom growers end up with a sterilizer that costs too much and does too little. There are three key considerations when selecting a pressure sterilizer […]

Coronavirus has disrupted and altered our public life quickly and, perhaps, irrevocably. Scientists have studied the coronavirus safely for years in BSL-3 (“biosafety level 3“) labs at undisclosed locations around […]
