Most come to recognize that it is a clever\u00a0 design. Because the door relies on neither a screw\/latch closure system nor a power closer, it offers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Extreme durability with little maintenance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014our solid silicone gaskets last for years with little maintenance and can be quickly replace with an inexpensive standard gasket<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Enhanced safety<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014The door latch functions as a mechanical fail safe to our thermal lock system; it simply <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> possible for the door to freely open if any dangerous residual pressure is present in the chamber<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>One-handed operation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014The door can be entirely operated and quickly opened with one hand, easing operations on a daily basis and improving lab accessibility<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reduced Risk in Instructional Settings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014Because the door is nearly impossible to open without training, there is almost no risk of students, trainees, or unauthorized personnel making a dangerous mistake<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But because this design is less familiar, it can be hard to navigate for new users. Lee Oakley\u2014Priorclave&#8217;s Sales Director\u2014has been supplying autoclaves for decades. He&#8217;s seen end-users quickly shift from annoyed to converted on countless occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;It really is a superior design, from a safety and usability perspective. The trick is, you want to <\/span><b>follow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it, not <\/span><b>force<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it. Let the latch almost open itself.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Open Your Autoclave Single-handed\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First and foremost, know that <\/span><b><i>you are not alone! <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s not at all unusual to struggle with the door latch at first. It helps to be able to imagine the internal channel that guides the door latching mechanism. Below you can see a standard front-loading Priorclave with the outer door panel removed:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3256 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1024x502.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1024x502.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-768x377.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1536x753.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-2048x1004.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-64x31.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-128x63.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-240x118.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-320x157.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-360x177.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-375x184.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-480x235.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-540x265.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-640x314.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-720x353.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-800x392.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-960x471.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1280x628.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1366x670.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1600x784.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/PNA-door-opening-diagram-1920x941.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You&#8217;ll start with the locking door handle in its lowest &#8220;parked&#8221; position. Press and release the <\/span><b>DOOR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> button. The unit will beep. Wait about 20 seconds, until the <\/span><b>Door LED<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> lights and the unit beeps again. (During this \u201csafety delay\u201d period the temperature display will show \u201cHold.\u201d You don&#8217;t need to hold the button; just hold on and wait until you hear the second beep.) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now press and release the <\/span><b>DOOR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> button a second time.
