The QCS 150 Pass-Through autoclave is the smallest double-door autoclave to be introduced by Priorclave and is purpose designed to enable laboratories to maintain a secure sterile path for media and waste as it passes in and out of a sealed laboratory.
The level of safety on the 150 litre front-loading autoclave is achieved through a design that incorporates the highest level of door interlock settings, preventing doors on either end of the chamber to be simultaneously opened, Priorclave says.
The QCS 150 Pass-Through autoclave has a 500mm diameter by 740mm deep chamber and has been configured to accommodate up to 20% more load capacity than others steam sterilisers of the same specified size.
Priorclave claims that this provides greater versatility where the scale of items to be sterilised may vary significantly, both small and taller items processed in a single pass.
All sterilising processes are controlled by the advanced Tactrol 2 microprocessor which provides variable settings of process time and temperature, all supported by graphic indication of cycle status.
Users simply set the temperature and time required, select any options needed and press start, operation is fully automatic once the cycle has started.
Moreover, Priorclave has introduced a choice of two models, a 150L electrically heated Pass-Through autoclave and an externally steam heated design, each offering cooling and automatic timed free-steaming.
Each QCS 150 Pass-Through autoclave is partly bespoke. Depending on application, Priorclave will configure layout of the Tactrol controller to suit lab requirements.
Meanwhile, where laboratories may express concern about bio-hazardous material in the autoclave, a microbiological filter can be fitted. Unfiltered condensate is returned to the autoclave for sterilisation.
