Portaclave Portable Autoclaves – Electric, Automatic Controller

Portaclave portable autoclaves provide a compact and reliable sterilisation solution for laboratories, educational environments, and field applications. These electric autoclaves feature an integrated automatic Vario digital controller, allowing users to precisely regulate sterilisation temperature and cycle time for consistent results.

Designed for simple installation and portability, the Portaclave range operates from a standard single phase power supply and requires no plumbing. The robust design incorporates a Grade 316 stainless steel chamber for durability and chemical resistance. Units are available in 15 L, 22 L, and 30 L capacities to accommodate a variety of laboratory sterilisation tasks.

Key Features

Automatic Vario Digital Controller: Digital control system enables variable sterilisation temperatures from 100°C to 121°C and cycle times from 1 to 99 minutes.

Preset Sterilisation Cycles: Includes common preset programmes such as 30 minutes at 115°C, 15 minutes at 121°C, 30 minutes at 121°C, and 60 minutes at 115°C.

Portable Space Saving Design: Compact vertical construction allows the autoclave to be used in laboratories, teaching environments, and mobile or field installations.

Plug & Play Operation: Runs from a standard 230V single phase supply and does not require permanent plumbing connections.

Durable Stainless Steel Chamber: Grade 316 stainless steel chamber construction provides long service life and resistance to corrosion.
