Astell Scientific’s Duaclave twin chamber range has been designed for labs which need to sterilise larger numbers of items but struggle to accommodate a larger autoclave.
Duaclaves comprise two autoclaves stacked one above the other, built in to one frame, to provide a secure and stable unit – offering twice the capacity of an autoclave whilst occupying the same floor space. Each of the circular chambers can be operated independently, controlled by its own colour touchscreen, enabling two sterilisation cycles to simultaneously, reducing turnaround time and improving operational capacity. For example, it’s possible to sterilise a glassware load in one chamber whilst preparing media in the second.
Models are available in a choice of five sizes based on Astell’s ‘heaters in chamber’ front-loading autoclave range, providing (combined) chamber volumes of 66 litres up to a maximum of 306 litres in capacity. Further customisation and options are available upon request.
