Versatile autoclaves for superior steam sterilisation

Priorclave’s QCS range of autoclaves is one of the most versatile and cost-efficient steam sterilisers available. What sets the QCS range apart is that the three standard cylindrical chamber sizes of 100, 150  and 200 litres provide 20% more loading capacity than sterilisers of the same capacity. This extra space enables the QCS range to accommodate taller or more usual items, avoiding the need to invest in larger, heavier and more costly rectangular chambered sterilisers.   

From simple cycles to fully featured multi-programme operations, Priorclave’s exclusive Tactrol®3 control unit allows unrivalled flexibility and allows users to focus on other tasks, secure in the knowledge that it will automate the entire sterilising process from start to finish perfectly. 

Feature packed as standard, every autoclave in the QCS range features a quick-seal single-action door fitted with both thermal and pressure locks, whilst utilising Priorclave’s patented door retention device, altogether these prevent accidental openings at load temperatures above 80°C and pressures above 0.2bar.  Non-tip shelves ensure all media remains secure throughout the loading and unloading process. Biomaster ™ anti-bacterial silver nano-technology is incorporated into external surfaces providing effective defence against bacteria and fungi, including MRSA. This coating also reduces the risk of microbial growth and cross-contamination. Every QCS features low external surface temperatures whilst in use. Inside the chamber, automatic free-steaming greatly improves temperature distribution by encouraging air removal. Powerful fans also blow cold air over the autoclave vessel reducing cooling times. The Tactrol®3 also enables a delayed start if required to protect loads sensitive to media volume loss. 

Optional features include load-sensed processed timing, where an internal probe ensures exact sterilisation times. Whilst Pre- and Post-cycle vacuum ensures air removal from difficult loads. When combined with pulsed free-steaming, this achieves excellent steam penetration.
