LTE Scientific has introduced its Touchclave-lab range of laboratory autoclaves.
The 'K' models operate using either an integral steam generator situated beneath the chamber or the customer's own direct steam supply.
These models are fitted with water jackets as standard, which offer reduced cooling times.
The economical 'F' range can operate in areas where water drainage is not available, using steam generated from within the chamber.
Both models incorporate a touch-screen control system for entering and displaying all commands, cycle and program data and alarms.
A self-diagnostic system highlights any abnormality in the cycle.
Additionally, LTE has made available an optional modem, which allows real-time information to be viewed by its technical team.
All models have an internal data archiving facility, which allows up to 5,000 cycles to be stored on a single internal flash card.
A choice of eight load-specific cycles can be stored in the memory, with an optional memory expansion facility boosting the total to 20.
Users can develop their own cycle profile by touching the 'create own cycle' icon and following a series of screens to input their own parameters and cycle titles.
Options available on the range include vacuum and air ballast systems and effluent-retention (cat three).
