Typical Screen Views are:

  • Overview Screen – presents live information on the current Priorclave autoclave, showing the user what stage of the cycle the run is currently at.
  • Current screen - shows all the current settings and whether they are enabled or disabled.
  • Time screen - allows the user to set date, time and a delayed start if required.
  • Set up screen - allows the operator to change the settings in the current program. Each setting can be disabled and enabled, the dwell time and free-steaming time also can be altered.
  • Usage screen - shows how much water and electricity has been used on a daily and monthly basis.

Autoclaves from the comprehensive Priorclave range fitted with the Tactrol® 2 controller are currently being used in of host of different working environments throughout pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical, dairy, food, education and the utility sectors. Models include benchtop autoclaves and compact top loading sterilizers with chambers up to 60 litre as well as front loading, pass-through, power door and stackable in capacities from 100 litre to in excess of 7500 litres.

Priorclave has over 30 years’ experience as a key developer, manufacturer and initiator of new autoclave technologies. This attention of furthering steriliser performance, functionality and reliability has helped the company gain a global presence.

The launch of Bee Live, available as a serviceable add-on also can be fitted during new autoclave manufacture if required. Introduction of Bee Live is the first in a series of advanced changes to be announced by Priorclave during 2018. A number of these changes will be seen for the first time at the forthcoming Medica exhibition in November 2018.

Autoclaves and SterilizersAutoclaves and sterilizers are commonly used to sterilize laboratory equipment, instruments and growth media using constant pressure and temperature. When choosing an autoclave or sterilizer consider medical or laboratory application, size, loading and sterilization method. Sterilization methods include flame (Bunsen burners), heat (steam or dry), chemical and UV.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
