The Astell sliding front circular chamber autoclave is available in five chamber sizes. Loading access is through a sliding door meaning the unit requires less operational floor space than a hinged door unit. The door can be specified with manual operation, or automatic when combined with the air compressor option or an external air supply. The circular section sliding door range of autoclaves has a broad selection of options, many of which are unavailable on smaller capacity ranges, meaning its possible to sterilise a variety of loads.
A standard circular-section sliding door steriliser is fitted with heaters in the base of the chamber and is ideal for sterilising liquids (media), discard, glassware and other instruments. Advanced options such as the Integral Steam Generator, External Jacket and choice of Vacuum can be added to customise the unit for many other applications such as sterilizing liquids, or porous-type loads including fabrics. Direct steam models are available at no extra cost.
