Another Autoclave Sales Mishap: The Wrong Sterilizer for the Lab and Tasks<\/p><\/div>\n

Autoclave sales tend to focus on the “sticker price”\u2014as do autoclave buyers. But that’s a bill you only pay once. You’ll be paying for utilities and maintenance for years to come.\u00a0 <\/span>In general, up to 50 percent of a lab\u2019s funding is sucked up by utility and maintenance costs (according to My Green Lab executive director Allison Paradise<\/a>). Your autoclave is usually a major contributor to that. Consider electricity:<\/p>\n

A single autoclave on a college campus uses about as much electricity as 115 computer monitors<\/i>.<\/strong> And remember: the average college research autoclave is only used about 5 times per week, and computer monitors are often left on 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Improper Autoclave Selection Drives Up Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n

In many cases, the maintenance and operating costs associated with an autoclave run high because labs inadvertently buy less-efficient medical-grade autoclaves. These are engineered to meet FDA medical-device standards that generally run counter to efficient operation in a lab setting. For example, most medical-grade sterilizers use always-on cold-water bleeder valves to cool outflows, and rely on pressure chambers and steam-generation systems that only make sense in a medical setting. A 2016 study by the University of California (Riverside) found that replacing just one<\/i> of their existing medical-grade lab autoclaves with a comparable research-grade model reduced energy consumption by 83%, and water consumption by 97%<\/p>\n

Autoclave Sales: Choosing the Right Lab Autoclave<\/h2>\n

Don’t assume that every non-medical autoclave is a good fit for every research task. Even among lab autoclaves, there’s wide variance in efficiency. The two factors that most contribute to this: steam source and chamber shape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If reducing lab costs is important to you, a good rule is this: Get an autoclave with an in-chamber heater<\/i>. External steam generators drive up the initial cost of your autoclave, and are more expensive to maintain over time. They’re also significantly less efficient. Side-by-side comparisons consistently show external steam generators using at least 45% more energy than in-chamber heaters.<\/p>\n

Priorclave offers the only fully custom autoclave sales process<\/a> in North America. Every autoclave we ship is customized and built for the lab that bought it–and built from the ground up for longevity, efficiency, and ease-of-maintenance. Give us a call today<\/a> and explore the best autoclave for your lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
