Description

The unit's design offers excellent performance for the sterilization of laboratory materials.

• Simplicity and effectiveness: the chamber has a jacket that directly communicates with the chamber. This design is very useful when steam is directly supplied from the plant or electric boiler, so that the jacket is used as a condensation separator. Steam control is carried out by an On/Off valve that also offers good temperature distribution, within +/- 1 ºC.
• Safe and reliable construction: the chamber is made out of high quality AISI 316Ti stainless steel, offering greater fatigue resistance. The chamber is sealed with a silicone gasket located in a milled channel that requires no lubrication. This design prolongs the unit's useful life and guarantees operation with a lower stoppage rate. The equipment and pipes are also constructed from stainless steel with orbital welding. Validation ports are also included as is zone sealing, effectively separating the technical zone from the sterile (or contained) zone. The chamber jacket and cladding on door and front are made from AISI 304 stainless steel. The process pipes are thermally insulated and also clad with stainless steel or aluminum.
• Easy to operate: The standard control system comprises a PLC connected to a touch screen terminal. A 3-channel recorder and thermal printer complete the MicroSter control, supervision and recording system.

Applications

Steam sterilization is the most recognized sterilization method when dealing with non thermolabile products, that is, those that can resist this method's temperature and humidity conditions.

The units are basically used to sterilize a wide range of products: solid or porous products, as well as liquids:

• Glass containers
• Culture media
• Cages, bottles, etc., for housing animals
• Laboratory waste
• Equipment

In the biopharmaceutical industry the units are used for applications that are not strictly GMP production related, such as decontamination processes, R&D, biological control, etc.

Special Desings

• Chambers customized in accordance with existing trolleys or pallets
• Design for decontamination, applications in biosafety laboratories (BSL3)
• Fans and heat exchangers in the chamber to process liquids
• Automatic loading and unloading systems
