Autoclave Solution Helps Clean Up Microbiology Laboratory

Challenge

The department’s microbiology laboratory includes four key units: bacteriology, virology, mycology, and immunology. As these four units are related to pathology, the final stage of research activities would generate waste that must be steam-sterilized before disposal.

In addition, laboratory equipment must be sterilized before and after washing. Therefore, the department requires a large and high-performing autoclave capable of handling a large amount of waste and sterilization of laboratory equipment.

An autoclave is an equipment that uses steam to sterilize tools and equipment in hospitals, surgical suites, and laboratories.

Approach

To further understand the specific needs of the customer, our sales team inspected the water and electrical systems at the department’s facility. Resulting from this study, we proceeded to recommend the Systec HX-780 autoclave solution, which was the best technology available while meeting the customer’s budget.

The Systec H-Series floor-standing autoclaves can be used for all laboratory applications, even for sophisticated sterilization processes. They are renowned for delivering high work precision, easy maintenance of devices, as well as shorter and more efficient process times.

As the customer was initially concerned about the large and costly machines involved, we provided a detailed explanation of the equipment's features, as well as application support and usability testing to ensure that they were fully aware of the equipment’s capabilities and maintenance requirements.

As Systec autoclaves can be upgraded on a modular basis, with options and equipment to optimize sterilization processes, it suited the department’s future expansion needs.

Result

As a result of this implementation, many other customers in the market have noticed the equipment’s features that include being fully automated, microprocessor controlled, easy maintenance, touch-screen controls, and the ability to manage over 100 sterilization programs for different applications.
