Designed for Throughput, Built for Safety

In high-containment laboratories, maintaining sterile boundaries is not just a matter of protocol—it’s a matter of safety, integrity, and operational efficiency. Priorclave’s Pass-Through autoclaves offer a robust and reliable solution for researchers and lab managers seeking to uphold rigorous standards while streamlining workflow between clean and potentially contaminated zones. 

Every Priorclave pass-through autoclave is engineered to meet the specific needs of the laboratory it serves. These units provide a secure, sterile passageway for materials entering or exiting sealed environments, ensuring that containment is never compromised. The interlocking door system is central to this function: it prevents both doors from being opened simultaneously, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and preserving the integrity of the lab’s sterile zones. Both thermal and pressure locks further ensure staff or student safety on both sides. 

Available in a wide range of models, including both steam- and electrically heated options, with cylindrical or rectangular chambers, and chambers available in the most popular sizes (150L, 250L, 450L, or 700L). Whether you need to focus on small batches of media or sterilise tall lab equipment, there is the perfect model available for your exact needs and budget. The front-loading design and dual control panels support seamless operation from either side of the barrier, enhancing workflow and reducing the need for personnel to cross containment boundaries. 

At the heart of each unit is Priorclave’s exclusive TACTROL^®3 control system, which delivers precise, programmable control over sterilisation cycles, even whilst fully gloved. With fewer moving parts and fewer motions during each cycle, Priorclave has created an autoclave that not only costs less but also minimises the maintenance required.  This also ensures shorter maintenance outages. 

For the cost-conscious, there are the BASE models, perfect for standard lab work, including media preparation and waste loads.  

The SMART models are vacuum-equipped for greater flexibility, handling a wider range of loads, and offering expanded programming functions. 

For “Power Users”, there are the PERFORMANCE models, being both steam-jacketed and vacuum-equipped to handle more load types, more often, producing dryer loads more quickly. Whether you're managing a biosafety level 3 facility or coordinating sterilisation protocols in a pharmaceutical research lab, Priorclave’s pass-through autoclaves provide a reliable, secure, and efficient solution for maintaining sterile boundaries. Their unique combination of robust, reliable autoclaves, intelligent control, and tailored support makes them a trusted choice for laboratories where containment and performance are essential.
