The RSC 350 autoclave from Priorclave is proving the ideal choice for those laboratories in the food & drink, pharma, agriculture, education and healthcare sectors looking to achieve high-throughput sterilising procedures.
According to Priorclave, the popularity of its front-loading autoclave is driven by a design that offers a large sterilising chamber yet requires a relatively small footprint and is by far one of the easiest to install since it is castor mounted for easy positioning and pass through a standard door.
With a 350 litre capacity chamber, the RCS 350 laboratory autoclave is the perfect choice where tall, small and bulky items need to be sterilised as its rectangular chamber will accommodate many differing media types and sizes side-by-side in a single process.
All steam sterilising process parameters are easily programmed through the advanced Tactrol 2 microprocessor control system, allowing for adjustment of temperature and time for simple cycles to fully featured multi-programme operation.
This controller allows unrivalled flexibility, monitoring and management of the process cycle which guides operators through simple set-up procedures ensuring laboratories optimise the autoclave performance in relation to the media being processed.
The chamber door on the RCS 350 has a two hand-wheel door closure system, the lower hand-wheel on the chamber door is fitted with thermal and pressure locks to prevent opening at load temperatures above 80°C and pressures above 0.2 bar, thus averting potential accidents through discharge of hot, high-pressurised steam.
The RSC 350 can be supplied by Priorclave with a choice of steam generation - electrical or direct steam heated; alternatively they can be fitted with an in-house steam generator ideal where continuous sterilising applications take place.
As standard, the RSC 350 front loading laboratory autoclave is fitted with an automatic water-fill.
However, as a dedicated autoclave manufacturer, Priorclave is able to incorporate a number of options into the standard steriliser framework of these high capacity sterilisers such as water cooling jackets, pre-cycle vacuum in which multiple vacuum stages are programmed with interspersed heating to achieve greater steam penetration of difficult media as well as post cycle drying.
The RSC 350 autoclave also benefits from Biomaster protection, a tough special epoxy finish 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.
