Astell Benchtop Autoclaves

Astell’s front loading ‘Benchtop’ autoclave range is available in three sizes and is totally self-contained. These units require no plumbing, and a standard 13 amp power supply.

The range is available as either ‘Classic’ or ‘Ecofill’.

Classic version requires manual water fill and during the cycle condensate leaves the vessel via a silicone tube that can be connected to a heat-resistant bottle.

Ecofill version has an integral reservoir and an in built water re-circulation system. Once the reservoir is filled, this provides water for up to 15 cycles, and also acts as a collection vessel for condensate and the water that is automatically returned from the chamber at the end of each cycle, reducing water wastage.
