Let us customize your autoclave to fit your unique laboratory space requirements

The configuration of your laboratory space is unique — meaning the location and arrangement of your equipment, benches, desks, and doorways is specific to your laboratory.

At Consolidated Sterilizer Systems, we recognize that you may have a unique layout or space constraints that present configuration challenges when procuring new laboratory equipment — particularly when it comes to finding a place to put your brand-new autoclave. While it would be ideal for a “stock” autoclave to fit perfectly in your space, often times you’ll need some custom configuration to make it fit.

This is where Consolidated can help you, and frankly, why our clients love us. Other manufacturers do not provide the level of customization that Consolidated offers. As an industry-recognized solutions provider, we work closely with lab managers, architects, lab planners, facility managers, and service technicians to ensure the autoclave fits perfectly when it arrives at a facility and is easy to service (more on this below). Some of these customization options are offered at no additional cost to the customer.


The following is a list of different customization options to help you better situate your autoclave within your space.

Controller Mounting
Controller Mounting
Every autoclave comes with a control system, however not every control system is mounted in a way that makes the most sense for your laboratory space configuration. Consolidated can mount your control system wherever it best fits your space: right side, left side, top-mounted, or remote-mounted on an adjacent wall.
Components and Plumbing
Components and Plumbing
Consolidated can customize the location of the autoclave’s components and piping to be located on the left or right side of the autoclave, making it easily accessible for you and your service team. This is ideal if you have the need to install your autoclave up against a wall and don’t have access to the autoclave from all sides.
Steam Generator Mounting
Steam Generator Mounting
If your laboratory is without house steam, Consolidated can provide either an integral (i.e. sits below the chamber) steam generator or a remote-mounted one in a location of your choice (up to 50 feet from the autoclave)
Autoclave Frame Width
Autoclave Frame Width
If your laboratory has door frames that are smaller than standard, or if your existing wall cutout is narrow, Consolidated can configure an autoclave with a frame dimension that fits through your doorway or existing wall cutout.
Drainage
Drainage
If your drain is located higher than the flooring, Consolidated can install a sump pump to help transport the sterilizer effluent “uphill” to meet your drain.
Chamber Mounting
Chamber Mounting
If you would like two sterilizers in your laboratory but lack the space required, Consolidated offers a dual “tower” configuration that reduces the footprint by 35% when compared to two autoclaves mounted side-by-side.

In addition to the spacial-related customizations mentioned above, there are a number of “user” customizations available as well:

Logo Placement
Logo Placement
Using our laser cutting equipment, Consolidated can personalize your autoclave by adding your school or company logo to the sterilizer paneling located on the front of the autoclave. This is a big hit for some of our clients!
Custom Loading Carts
Custom Loading Carts
If you have odd-sized flasks, beakers, bioreactors or fermenters, Consolidated can customize the size of your loading cart so that it accommodates your load while still fitting into your autoclave chamber.
Additional Shelving
Additional Shelving
If you’re in need of a more optimized use of your autoclave chamber space, Consolidated can create additional shelving to allow you to efficiently load your autoclave.
Extra Sampling Ports
Extra Sampling Ports
Consolidated can add additional ports (typically used for validation) with either threaded or sanitary fittings, anywhere on the autoclave chamber as desired.
Custom Sterilization Cycles
Custom Sterilization Cycles
Consolidated can program your autoclave to run sterilization cycles for unique applications that require special temperature ramping rates, exhaust rates, exposure times, or myriad other functions.

These customization options are just the beginning of what Consolidated can do to enhance your autoclave

Our team can also install additional amenities like a vacuum pump, cloud technology, water saving system, a water purification system and more.
