Priorclave has been awarded a contract to supply a number of medium-capacity laboratory autoclaves to the Centre for Translational and Experimental Medicine at Imperial College London
Due to open later this year, the building on Imperial's Hammersmith Hospital Campus will be a flagship facility for its Academic Health Science Centre, integrating patient centred research with translational science activity.
Researchers in the new facilities will carry out clinical trials of new treatments and help to advance understanding of a wide range of health problems, such as heart and circulatory disease - the UK's biggest killer.
The priorclaves, five in total, have been installed on each laboratory floor within dedicated wash-up and sterilisation facilities.
The EH450 autoclave was specified by Imperial because its large 450 litre capacity chamber is suited to efficiently coping with high throughput demands as well as accommodating large and bulky items.
According to Priorclave, its EH450 autoclave is fast becoming a popular choice for the educational sector due to the large sterilisation chamber accommodated within a compact frame, creating a high-capacity steam steriliser that requires only a small floor area.
The autoclave also comes castor-mounted for easy position anywhere in a laboratory and is available with a variety of optional extras to increase its versatility.
