Supplying Autoclaves to Australia and New Zealand

Priorclave built our first industrial autoclave in 1988—and that research-grade lab steriliser is still running reliably more than 35 years later.

What’s our secret?

Thoughtful design and steadfast support.

We’ve minimised unnecessary complexity, instead focusing on a rugged design, efficient operation, impeccable build quality, flexible programmable controls, and responsive customer support.

Our customers, in turn, enjoy greater value at lower cost: less water wasted, less electricity consumed, less time spent on maintenance and repair.

Custom Lab Autoclaves, Anywhere in the World

There is one way to be sure that your autoclave will perform to your specification: Have it built to your specifications.

Every Priorclave autoclave begins with a conversation. Our team will explore your sterilisation needs, and help you determine the right configuration of the right model for your tasks, facilities, and requirements. That autoclave will then be hand built, from start to finish, in our London factory.

When installed, our standard units have a centre of gravity below one meter, so there is no need for seismic restraints or anchoring to comply with building codes like NZS 1170.5 or AS 1170.4:2007 (we can assist with compliance documentation or engineering calculations as needed).

Green from the Ground Up

The opportunity to reduce energy in laboratories is enormous. They consume as much as five times more energy than traditional office buildings and can use millions of liters of water each year.
Autoclaves are a major contributor to high resource consumption in research settings. We’re pleased to continue our longstanding commitment to laboratory sustainability by being the first autoclave manufacturer in the world to bear the ACT Ecolabel.

ACT® Ecolabel is a voluntary environmental impact factor label program created and overseen by My Green Lab, a leading advocate for the sustainable operation of research labs. The ACT label gauges the full life-cycle environmental impact of laboratory equipment and supplies, making it easier for customers to choose safe, sustainable products. Recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), the American Energy Society, and the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories, My Green Lab’s Certification is considered the global standard for laboratory sustainability best practices.

Priorclave got its start by making efficient and reliable research autoclaves—the “toughest autoclaves on the planet.” We’re proud to have this opportunity to display the ACT Ecolabel and support researchers in the life sciences as they continue to work for sustainability and transparency.
