A rectangular chambered front-loading autoclave is the best option available for high-throughput research, education, industrial, and quality assurance facilities. Each of our front-loading autoclaves is entirely custom built to your specifications in our London factory. If you don’t need a steam jacket or powered door, then your autoclave won’t have one. If you do need enhanced cooling, filtration, monitoring, or another feature, it will be fitted. An application-specific build doesn’t just reduce the purchase price by eliminating features of no use to you. It also results in a more reliable autoclave that costs much less to own, operate, and maintain.
Priorclave rectangular autoclaves are noted for their reliability, affordability, and ease-of-use. Our rectangular autoclaves couple the superior engineering and craftsmanship found in our standard cylindrical chambered research autoclaves with larger chambers optimized for high-throughput applications. Our standard rectangular models rely on in-chamber on-demand heating, and are fitted with safety-interlock manual doors with thick-profile silicone seals. The result is a rectangular autoclave that you can own, operate, and maintain at a significant savings, when compared to same-size, same-function units. That said, if your application or situation demands 24/7 steam generation, a steam jacket, a power door, or other advanced option, we can always build to suit.
Priorclave’s standard line of rectangular autoclaves are among the most efficient on the market, as well as the easiest to service and most reliable. They remain popular with colleges and universities, research facilities (small and large), testing labs, and industrial operations.
