Laboratory Products 19 Autoclave innovation helps cut water usage by up to 80%
Many countries around the globe have seen their water charges rise, with prices varying greatly by location. In some countries prices are set to rise by as much as 18% over two years. England’s ’Plan for Water’ policy paper states that England and Wales currently use 14 billion litres of water per day and will need an additional 4 billion litres per day by 2050. The success of ensuring every nation’s future public water supply will depend upon a twin-track approach: delivering new supplies of water; and reducing water demand. To reduce demand, we all need to use water sensibly and use more water efficient resources. Priorclave stand ready to assist you and your organisation in this endeavour.
When the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the United States of America compared their steam-jacketed autoclaves and Priorclave’s non-jacketed laboratory autoclaves side by side, they found that jacketed autoclaves used in excess of thirty times more water – with no corresponding benefit. In field tests, Priorclave laboratory autoclaves operating costs have been documented at more than 80% lower than same-capacity jacketed autoclaves.
Shape can have a significant impact on performance, given two like-sized autoclave chambers, you’ll find that the rectangular chamber requires a heater rated at roughly three times that of a comparable cylindrical chamber. In practice, it takes about as much energy just to heat a rectangular chamber up to begin sterilisation as it does to run an entire cycle through a cylindrical model. On an annual basis, a cylindrical-vessel front-loading Priorclave autoclave can be expected to use 1/6th to 1/10th as much water and energy as a comparable rectangular model.

New platinum TOC catalysts
Elemental Microanalysis, a leading global supplier to the elemental analysis market, is pleased to release a series of platinum TOC catalysts: B1609, B1610 and B1611. Developed by Element’s in-house R&D team, these catalysts are intended as direct replacement for the standard platinum catalysts offered by Shimadzu for TOC–L and TOC– V analysers. Elemental’s TOC catalysts use a zirconia support, rather than alumina; there is both a colour and a weight difference when compared to the OEM catalyst.
Elemental’s zirconia catalysts offer advantages over the original OEM catalyst: lower blank values - leading to lower practical limit of quantification; stabilises more quickly - allowing faster conditioning of catalyst when installing a new reaction tube; longer lifetime – offering a greater number of sample runs before replacement; more robust – making it less prone to physical degradation.
In addition to the new TOC catalysts, Elemental Microanalysis offers a large range of consumables for the Shimadzu TOC–L/V series analysers, including: combustion tubes, halogen scrubbers, platinum gauze, O-rings, and other operational accessories.

Acrylic Desiccators from Plas Labs provide a breakthrough solution designed to protect critical materials, research specimens, and sensitive electronic components from contamination. These advanced desiccators offer unparalleled protection, convenience, and visibility, transforming the storage and transportation of valuable assets.
The Acrylic Desiccators are meticulously engineered to create a dust and moisture-free environment, ensuring the integrity and longevity of stored components. By employing a slight positive N2 charge, these units effectively prevent moisture penetration, extending the lifespan of valuable components. The amber-coloured units (CGA) provide exceptional protection against harmful UV rays for light-sensitive materials.

Featuring stackable and non-slip ‘grip tight’ feet, Acrylic Desiccators offer space- saving storage with stability. The standardised construction allows for easy shelf interchangeability, optimising organisation and space utilisation. Perforated slots on each shelf enable optimum gas circulation, ensuring a uniform protective atmosphere within the desiccator.
*Average Pass-on rate = 3.2
To enhance structural integrity, desiccators with multiple cubicles have a built-in divider, providing added strength for stored materials. Constructed with optically clear ‘jewelled’ acrylic, these units offer excellent visibility without compromising durability.
Convenience is paramount. Slip-apart hinges and spring-loaded sealing clamps ensure easy and secure access. A built-in hygrometer (Rh) gauge enables precise humidity monitoring for optimal storage conditions. The desiccators also feature ‘door guards’ to prevent warping and internal atmosphere loss.
