Priorclave QCS Top Loading Autoclaves perfect for Labs with Limited Space

The Priorclave QCS top-loading autoclaves with their small footprint could be the perfect choice for laboratories with limited floor space. Their compact design and operational flexibility makes them ideal for sterilising applications such as media preparation, liquids and diluent, waste, glassware instruments and pieces of apparatus that need superior sterilisation.

Designed by Priorclave and built in its own British based manufacturing centre the QCS top-loading autoclave range is available in two chamber sizes of 100 and 150 litre capacity. Models QCS EV100 and QCS EV150 are floor-standing electrically heated laboratory autoclaves with sterilising chambers able to accommodate small and tall objects together for sterilisation.

The superior load capability of the Priorclave QCS top loading autoclaves and proven reliability coupled with space-saving features will appeal to laboratory managers in diverse industrial sectors such as food, drink, dairy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, education, healthcare as well as dedicated research establishments

The very latest Tactrol® microprocessor guides users through simple step-by-step set up of sterilising parameters as well as keeping a log of temperature, pressure, time and cycle data. The data is held in an archive file which can be subsequently downloaded and transmitted to Priorclave’s Service Centre for technical assistance if required, helping laboratories and research centres fine-tune the autoclave to achieve maximum performance and efficiency.

The QCS EV100 and QCS EV150 top loading autoclaves are designed to improve a laboratories sterilising efficiency, features such as delayed start and media warming function as standard for ready to pour media at the start of the day, forced air cooling as standard helping to reduce cycle times and automatic timed free-steaming as standard for improved air removal.

As with the majority of Priorclave laboratory autoclaves, access to the sterilising chamber is achieve via the patented Quickseal single-action door opening/closing system which provides safe and secure one-handed operation. Lab staff safety is paramount therefore the door system incorporates thermal and pressure locks, prevent opening at elevated load temperature above 80oC and pressures above 0.2bar.

During the autoclave build an epoxy coating incorporating an anti-bacterial agent is applied to panels and frame. This is a highly effective and permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria, making surfaces cleaner, more hygienic and providing durable lifelong protection against the threat of cross contamination. The epoxy finish is proven to reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99% and is highly effective against MRSA, E.coli, Listeria, Legionella, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and over 50 other species.

As part of the established Priorclave brand, renowned for its superior build quality and reliability, these autoclaves add to a comprehensive range of over 60 standard autoclave models including benchtop autoclaves, front loading autoclaves, double-door autoclaves, powerdoors and stackable laboratory autoclaves with capacities up to 850 litres.
