Low pressure (up to 2.4 Bar) laboratory steam autoclaves

Since its foundation in 1988, Priorclave have grown to become one of the UK’s premier manufacturers of low pressure (up to 2.4 Bar) laboratory steam autoclaves for use in laboratories throughout the food, drink, dairy, health and pharmaceutical industries.

Priorclave’s range extends from smaller, bench top models to larger, floor standing, top and front loading versions in circular and rectangular formats with loading capacities from 40L – 700L and above.

For the smaller laboratory with a requirement for autoclaving in-house on a tight budgets The OPAL entry-level range has been introduced to perform media preparation and waste sterilising, without unnecessary expenditure on additional functions and control systems often fitted as standard on many of today’s autoclaves.
Priorclave’s autoclaves are manufactured using modern CNC equipment, allowing quick response to customers’ demands for high quality, cost-effective, infection control and sterilisation equipment. With an in-house design team and more than 2,500 M2 manufacturing facility Priorclave are able to offer bespoke designs to suit particular applications when required.
As an approved manufacturer of pressure vessels and systems for autoclaves, manufacturing processes and designs are carefully scrutinised by Zurich Insurance under the European Pressure Vessel Directive –97/23/EC in addition to a BS EN ISO9001:2008 Quality System.

Priorclave innovate and have turned innovation into de facto standards. Low loading heights, compact designs, modular construction for easy upgrading, thermal safety lock on all models, TACTROL® full microprocessor control across the whole range, media warming, vacuum assisted cooling, application led literature are now commonplace features that were introduced by Priorclave to the UK autoclave market.
The latest innovation is their collaboration with BioCote® to produce the first range of laboratory autoclaves that have the capacity to inhibit the growth of bacteria outside as well as inside the autoclave. BioCote®‘s unique powder coating is applied to all models across the range to boost standards of laboratory hygiene and is effective throughout the lifetime of the equipment.

To continue to provide the best for their customers Priorclave are fully committed to:
