AMB Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave (33 to 63 Litres)
The Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave Series is designed to sterilize and dry wrapped items commonly used in healthcare, such as wrapped surgical packs, autoclavable peel packs, and sterilization pouches. Larger than most Class B autoclaves, it provides a bigger sterilization space for processing more items simultaneously or for large wrapped instruments that don’t fit in a standard Class B autoclave.
Astell’s Ecofill system ensures water is only in the sterilization chamber when required and stored in the Ecofill reservoir when not needed, creating a drier chamber environment upon cycle completion. The Ecofill Dry represents the next evolution of the Ecofill system.
However, evolution necessitates change. The Ecofill Dry has lost the Containment Level 3/Biosafety Level 3 compatibility found in the Classic AMB, and unlike both the Classic and the Ecofill is not recommended for liquids or fluids. Yet these loses bring a benefit unique to the Astell Benchtop range – drying. The process accomplished by circulating hot filtered air around the autoclave chamber after the sterilization stage is complete and water returned to the Ecofill reservoir. View a comparison of the Classic, Ecofill, and Ecofill Dry here.
Each AMB Ecofill Dry includes a shelf rack, a pouch rack, and two wire shelves for optimized positioning of sterilization pouches, peel packs, and wrapped surgical items. This ensures peak drying effectiveness even at maximum load capacity, thereby maximizing energy efficiency.
Ecofill further enhances energy efficiency by storing heat in the water returned to the reservoir after cycles, and running cycles back-to-back maximizes energy savings. The system is also time and labour-saving compared to the Classic AMB, reducing the need for water refills.
As an AMB tabletop autoclave, the Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave is part of the Plug and Play range. It requires only a desktop space near a domestic plug socket for installation, with no plumbing needed.
Like all Astell autoclaves, the Ecofill Dry Benchtop autoclaves are equipped with an advanced touchscreen control computer, an intuitive user interface, customizable cycles, and extensive capacity to store cycle data.
Compliant with BS EN 13060:2014; ISO 9001:2015; PED 2014/68/EU; and ANSI/AAMI ST55:2010 standards.

AMB Ecofill Benchtop Autoclave (33 to 63 Litres)
The Astell AMB Ecofill Benchtop Autoclaves provide ultra energy, water, and time saving results when compared to similar benchtop sterilizers. Sacrificing the optional CAT III filter upgrade that gives AMB Classic Benchtop Biosafety Level 3 / Containment Level 3 compatibility allows the AMB Ecofill Benchtops to instead include the Ecofill System. This system adds to the already numerous energy saving features found in both the Classic and Ecofill AMB Benchtop Autoclaves, including using only heating one litre generate steam, alongside power saving software developments built into the touchscreen control computer.
Astell’s Ecofill system adds a water reservoir to the autoclave. This reservoir is simply filled via a port on the top of unit, rather than filling the bottom of the autoclave chamber with water. Water is automatically supplied to the autoclave chamber on demand, then returned to the reservoir when not required, capturing both water and heat energy. This process allows the Ecofill system to save water, processing time, and energy when compared to an autoclave without Ecofill when cycles are run back-to-back. Additionally, Ecofill autoclaves can run for 15 cycles before it requires refilling, providing greater simplicity and time efficiency.
Like their Classic equivalents, the AMB Ecofill Autoclaves are plug and play units. Unlike many of their larger counterparts, they do not require plumbing into a water supply or drain system. Furthermore they only require plugging into domestic electricity supply. This makes them simple to install in a laboratory or sterilization room setting – simply place them near enough to an electrical socket and plug them in.
AMB Ecofill Benchtop Autoclaves can sterilize a wide range of items and materials, including laboratory glassware, autoclavable plastics, instruments, liquids, growth media, discard, and biologically contaminated waste materials. The AMB Ecofill Benchtop Autoclaves cannot process Containment Level 3 / Biosafety Level 3 materials – for this functionality please see the AMB Classic Benchtop Autoclave. It can also not process wrapped instruments that require drying, for this ability please see the AMB Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave. Those sterilizing beakers, conical flasks, test tubes, and other similar laboratory glassware and plasticware should consider the Nelldorn Glassware Dryer for a fast and efficient method of drying these items, making them ready for reuse.
These autoclaves are useful for a wide range of industries, and are found in laboratories across the research, food and drink, industrial and manufacturing, and medical and healthcare sectors.

AMB Classic Benchtop Autoclave (33 to 63 Litres)
The Astell AMB Classic Benchtop Autoclave provides a compact and versatile sterilizer for a wide range of autoclavable materials. While not able to process porous and fabric wrapped materials – unlike the tabletop Astell AMB Ecofill Dry autoclave - the Classic Benchtop can sterilize most other items used in the modern laboratory, including glassware, instruments, liquids, media, and simple discard and waste as standard, and when upgraded with an optional vacuum and CAT III filter, complex waste and discard, and Containment Level 3 (CL3) / BioSafety Level 3 (BSL3) materials. Glassware can be processed faster with the inclusion of the Nelldorn Glassware Dryer
An array of energy-saving features makes the AMB Classic series highly energy-efficient front-loading autoclave machines. By minimizing the volume of water heated to generate steam to a single litre and utilizing a powerful 2.3kW or 2.645kW water heater to rapidly generate steam, these devices are designed to minimize energy loss and processing times. Looking for even greater energy efficiency? See the Astell Ecofill Benchtop autoclave.
The Astell Control Computer equipped in the AMB Classic benchtop autoclave provides further energy saving through optimising the use of the steam sterilizer’s hardware. The touchscreen system, which is equipped to all Astell autoclaves provides the tabletop Autoclaves with the same advanced, customizable functionality that is found on larger devices, ensuring the devices hardware can be adapted to based on situational requirements. Equipped with an array of commonly utilized sterilization cycles, the controller can easily updated with up to 50 sterilization cycle programs via the intuitive touchscreen interface.
The AMB Classic Benchtop is part of the Astell Plug and Play autoclave range. This range of steam sterilizers makes installation of the autoclave into a laboratory, sterilization room, central sterile services department or Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), or Sterile Processing Department (SPD) easy. Requiring no plumbed water supply or drain outlet, and only a domestic energy supply, installation is simple – the unit just needs to be placed near to a domestic plug socket on a flat surface like a table or work bench. The Classic series are filled with water by pouring directly into the chamber, while wastewater and condensate leaves the rear of the device to fill a condensate bottle.
The AMB classic autoclave finds use in a wide range of settings, including the research, industrial and manufacturing, food and drink sector, healthcare and medical sectors. Astell produces many types of autoclave including smaller benchtop, countertop, and tabletop autoclaves like the AMB autoclaves, to large sterilization machines with cuboid chambers with thousand litre volumes.
