A common misconception is that a laboratory, medical practice or clean room facility has to be designed or modified with fitment of an autoclave in mind.

At Astell Scientific we pride ourselves on providing the consultancy and flexibility to supply a steam sterilizer to fit the customer’s needs, and we take time to understand your requirements and location in order to offer informed guidance and no-obligation recommendations. With over 100 years’ experience in developing and manufacturing autoclaves Astell are a recognised leader in the field, and have many examples of customised installations and product design.

The innovative Duaclave range was developed out of a particular customer’s circumstances and provides an ideal solution where space it as a premium, combining two independent autoclaves in to one frame that run completely independently, allowing staggered sterilization or different loads to be processed at the same time.

Astell’s Square Section autoclave range can be custom built to almost any specification, with capacities ranging from 125 litres to 1400 litres, and a wide range of options covering both operation cycles and installation. So it’s possible to sterilize glassware, plastics, media and fluids, waste discard, and porous loads such as fabrics with the right combination of features.

Astell also specialize in the manufacture of aqueous liquid Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS). EDS’ are particularly suited to high containment facilities or high risk laboratories. As no two projects are the same, we provide comprehensive project management to guide customers through the consultancy stages, including but not limited to:

• Site surveys, technical advice and specifications
• Detailed proposals and technical diagrams
• Manufacturing
• Delivery and installation
• Validation testing
• Installation / Operational Qualifications
