As laboratories strive for greater sustainability and energy efficiency, selecting eco-friendly laboratory equipment is essential. For March’s Sustainable Product of the Month, we are excited to spotlight the Astell Ecofill Benchtop Autoclaves—a game-changer in sustainable sterilisation technology

Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Design

The Astell Ecofill autoclaves are engineered to reduce environmental impact by using minimal water and power during each sterilisation cycle. With a unique water recirculation system, these autoclaves help laboratories achieve lower energy consumption while maintaining optimal sterilisation performance. Their fast heating and cooling times enhance laboratory efficiency, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Water-Saving Self-Contained System

Unlike traditional autoclaves that require continuous water input, the Astell Ecofill range features an integral reservoir that provides water for up to 15 sterilisation cycles. The in-built autofill system automatically collects and recirculates water, minimizing waste and conserving resources. This makes it an ideal water-efficient autoclave for eco-conscious laboratories looking to enhance their green lab initiatives.

Versatile and Compact for Every Laboratory

Available in 33, 43, and 63-liter capacities, these benchtop autoclaves are perfect for sterilising laboratory glassware, plastic containers, media preparation materials, and unwrapped instruments. Their compact, plug-and-play design eliminates the need for a mains water connection, making installation quick and hassle-free.

User-Friendly Features for Maximum Efficiency

Equipped with a fully programmable colour touchscreen controller, the Ecofill autoclaves offer five pre-set sterilisation cycles, with the flexibility to program up to 50 custom cycles. Additional features include:
•    USB data export for easy cycle monitoring
•    Fast-action door closure for added convenience
•    Over-temperature protection for enhanced safety
•    Pressure gauge and cooling lock for optimal performance and security

Driving Sustainability in Laboratories

By investing in Astell Ecofill Autoclaves, laboratories can significantly reduce water usage, minimise energy waste, and contribute to a more sustainable research environment. These autoclaves align with global efforts to implement green laboratory practices, ensuring compliance with eco-friendly lab standards.
