LTE Scientific has introduced six new models to its Touchclave-Lab autoclave range to meet a growing demand in the market for larger-capacity sterilisers.
Capacities of 360 and 450 litres are now available to complement LTE's traditional Touchclave-Lab offering of 150, 200 and 300 litres.
The new 360 and 450-litre models are available with the option of being fed from the customer's own steam supply, or fitted with either an integral steam generator or internal heaters.
The new models will incorporate all the features of the current Touchclave-Lab 'K' and 'F' models, providing a small footprint and high performance.
The Touchclave-Lab range incorporates a touch-screen control system for entering and displaying all commands, cycle and program data.
All models have an internal data-archiving facility, which allows up to 5,000 cycles to be stored on a single internal flash card.
'K' models include a water jacket cooling system to enhance cycle performance and can also be fitted with steam jackets, allowing effective drying of porous and other loads.
A choice of eight user-programmable cycles can be stored in the memory, with an optional memory-expansion facility boosting the total to 20.
All Touchclave-Lab autoclaves can be supplied with a number of additional features, including vacuum, air ballast, effluent retention and range of printers/recorders.
LTE employs a 12-strong team of UKAS and HTM-qualified engineers to carry out servicing, maintenance, calibration and validation.
