Sterilisation is a vital part of bioscience.Â
Accurate results depend on clean, consistent and reliable conditions, and an autoclave often sits at the heart of that process.Â
Whether you are running experiments, developing new ideas or carrying out specialist testing, your equipment needs to work exactly as expected.
Durham Autoclaves has many years of experience working with laboratory autoclaves and the environments that rely on them. The bioscience sector is naturally becoming an important area of the work we do.Â
This is not because we have changed direction but because the needs of this sector match the way we work. Our aim is to provide dependable support, clear guidance and flexible solutions that help laboratories keep moving without interruption.

Independent Autoclave Specialists for Laboratory Settings
Being independent means we support a wide range of manufacturers and models.Â
We understand how different autoclaves are used across laboratory environments and we shape our support around the equipment you already have. This gives you advice that is based on what will work best for your process instead of a recommendation tied to a specific brand.
Research teams value this approach because it gives them confidence that everything we suggest has been chosen with performance, reliability and long-term suitability in mind.
Short Term Autoclave Loans for Research and Testing
Many laboratories work within fixed timeframes.Â
Some projects last only a few weeks.Â
Others involve early-stage development, small scale trials or short bursts of activity. In these situations, purchasing a full autoclave is not always practical.
To support this, we offer short term autoclave loans. These machines are fully tested and validated before they arrive with you. This option works well for research projects, food and drink testing, material development work, temporary laboratory setups and situations where you need sterilisation for a defined period rather than ongoing use.
This service allows teams to access reliable equipment without taking on long term commitment. It keeps costs sensible while giving you everything you need to maintain high standards.
Collect, Sterilise and Return Support for Smaller Workloads

Some laboratories only require sterilisation occasionally or in small quantities.Â
This is common in early development work, controlled trial phases or research that involves handling small batches of materials. Running your own autoclave for these situations is not always the most efficient choice.
Our collect, sterilise and return service provides a simple, dependable alternative. You send the materials you need processing, we carry out the sterilisation professionally and we return everything ready for use. It is an ideal option for teams that need guaranteed sterilisation without managing the equipment themselves.
Reliable Servicing for Laboratory Autoclaves
Autoclaves used in bioscience must perform with accuracy and consistency. Even minor faults can interrupt results or disrupt the flow of a project. Routine servicing is the most effective way to prevent this.
Our engineers understand the pressures of laboratory work. They focus on maintenance that protects your workflow, reduces the risk of unexpected downtime and keeps your equipment in the best possible condition. We work across many different autoclave systems and continue to update our training so we can support the technology used in modern laboratories.
Supporting the Growth of Bioscience
Every service we offer is designed to help laboratories maintain high standards.Â
This includes servicing, repairs, short term loans and specialist sterilisation carried out off site. We are proud to support teams whose work drives scientific progress and innovation.
Durham Autoclaves remains an independent company with a straightforward commitment. We provide expert guidance, reliable service and practical solutions that suit the needs of the people and environments that rely on them.
