Astell's top loading 63 litre 'compact' autoclaves are available in both 'classic' and autofill. Both incorporate the latest innovations in control system technology and a 5.7" colour touch screen controller.?
Classic - The '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
Autofill - The 'Autofill' version has an integral reservoir. Once 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. This feature together with extremely versatile programming capability, provide exceptional sophistication in a small autoclave.?
