AMA Compact Classic Toploading Autoclave - Side View, with optional Nelldorn Glassware Dryer

The AMA Compact Classic Toploading Autoclave is a versatile machine capable of sterilizing glassware, instruments, autoclavable plasticware, liquids, discard and waste, and—with the inclusion of the CATIII filter option—Containment Level 3 (CL3) / Biosafety Level 3 (BSL3) materials. The Classic toploader pairs well with the Nelldorn Glassware Dryer , allowing sterilized glass and plasticware to be dried and ready for reuse faster than air-drying alone.

As part of the Astell Plug and Play range , the AMA Compact Toploading Autoclave does not need a plumbed drain connection or mains water supply. A domestic plug socket is the only required connection. These features, combined with fitted casters, allow the vertically chambered autoclave to be both easily installed and relocated within a facility, making the AMA Compact Classic Toploading Autoclave among the most portable in the Astell Autoclave range.

The AMA Compact Classic has a strong functional similarity to the AMB Classic Benchtop Autoclave , differing only in chamber aspect. In fact, the chamber shape of the 63L AMA Compact Toploader and the 63L AMB Benchtop Autoclave are nearly identical—deciding between them is often a matter of considering the available space in the laboratory and the shape of the items to be sterilized in the autoclave chamber.

Like all Astell autoclaves, the AMA Compact Classic Toploading Autoclave is fitted with a touchscreen control computer , providing maximum cycle adaptability for its hardware and for storing data from past cycles. Capable of incorporating 21 CFR Part 11 software alongside BSL3 hardware, the Classic vertical autoclave is well-suited to higher biosafety activities such as vaccine development, clinical trials, Genetic Modified Organism (GMO) activities, and other life sciences research.

With a control computer designed to run sterilization cycles efficiently and high-performance heating elements evolving water into sterilizing steam quickly, energy efficiency is a high priority in the design of the AMA Compact Classic, as it is in all Astell autoclaves. For those who don’t require the CL3 / BSL3 functionality of the AMA Compact Classic Toploading Autoclave, the AMA Compact Ecofill Toploading Autoclave provides even greater energy and time-saving capabilities.

Users looking for a smaller unit capable of sterilizing wrapped materials, as found in surgical applications, may benefit from investigating the AMB Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave .
