The Autoclave Knowledge Bank Check Book is an impartial guide and insight into some of the key factors to help users make the right decision about laboratory autoclave purchase.
Sponsored by Priorclave, the booklet covers some of the key points to consider when narrowing down potential choices, including autoclave style (from benchtop, top and front loading, pass-through), chamber style (cylindrical or rectangular), heating source, etc.
The Check Book also outlines reasoning for vacuum autoclaves, why to choose steam jacketed autoclaves, water condition, hygiene and environment issues, recording keeping and proving sterilisation as well as position and installation.
It is important for users to think about how they are going to use an autoclave to ensure their purchase has the right best specification to process effectively and efficiently - especially if this will need to be proved to a certifying body.
Users are advised to speak with the supplier or manufacturer direct before finalising their autoclave choice.
The Autoclave Knowledge Bank Check Book provides information to help in those discussions, as well as questions to ask prospective laboratory suppliers and manufacturers.
