Astell Scientific unveils updated autoclave range
The UK manufacturer and distributor of autoclaves, steam generators and effluent decontamination systems said the range is for use in research establishments, microbiology or pharma labs and universities.
The range of circular chamber autoclaves is available in various sizes, as benchtop, compact, and free-standing units and with options of top and front loading configurations.
Design changes have been made to the external casing of units ranging from small 33 litre benchtop to large 1400 litre free-standing cabinets.
Every autoclave features a controller unit with a 5.7 inch colour touch-screen display which contains the programme cycles, user settings and help menus.
Each unit has an external USB drive port for data output, so historic cycle information can be downloaded and electronically transferred to a computer or USB enabled device for future analysis and storage.
Autoclaves are used to sterilize equipment and supplies by using techniques such as steam sterilization.
