40 New Green Line Equipment for Biopharmaceutical Laboratories Showcased at Expoquimia 2017
New green line laboratory equipment developed by Telstar for pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, hospital and research centres was promoted at Expoquimia 2017 (Barcelona, 2-6 October). The company exhibited laminar flow ecocabinets, biological safety cabinets, laboratory freeze-dryers and ultra- low temperature freezers designed and manufactured for research and formulation using in-house freeze-drying, clean air and cold storage technologies. Developed under sustainable production, the equipment combines energetic efficiency and eco-design technology including the latest developments in ergonomics adapted to work environment characteristics, process analysis, trials, and production requirements.
During Expoquimia Telstar displayed the new range of laminar flow ecocabinets Aeolus, particularly suitable for handling non-pathogenic samples. This range of cabinets offers up to 35% less power consumption than the typical marketplace equivalent and are designed to provide protection for the product in an ISO 4 sterile environment. Aeolus integrates energy saving EC fans and an automatic airflow velocity control system, ensuring optimised protection levels. Aeolus offers an extremely low sound level, and up to 20% more sterile working area, whilst maintaining a compact external footprint.
Telstar also promoted the latest developments in process equipment solutions: BioVanguard, a range high quality Class II Biological Safety Cabinets designed to be used for high risk microbiological research and in highly toxic applications, which was introduced in both customised and standardised versions. Bio II Advance, a new generation of compact BSC with an innovative design that offers a body 20% smaller than the market average whist maintaining the standard work space. Igloo, the new line of compact, ecological and green -86º ultra-low temperature freezers for secure preservation of samples; and LyoBeta Mini, an innovative compact pilot-scale freeze dryer designed in twin-vessel configuration, with an external condenser of capacity 6kg. A bench-top freeze dryer conceived for applications in research and formulation to develop recipes for pharmaceutical freeze-drying processes.

Cleanroom Technology for any Workplace in Industry and Research
In industrial manufacturing, science and research the need for a clean particle and germ free environment plays an ever important role. For this purpose elaborate clean room facilities are designed at great expense, not only upon purchase but also for their upkeep. In many instances it is excessive to install oversized, technically complex, and expensive clean room facilities. Often the economy of an exclusive clean room does not justify for it and in many instances it is quite sufficient to create a localised clean room environment.
The Spetec Flow Box FBS or ‘CleanBoy® location where they are needed.
‘ has been developed for this exact purpose. The use of a Laminar Flow Box or a CleanBoy® establishes clean room conditions at the
The Flow Box FBS is manufactured from only high quality materials such as acrylic glass and stainless steel are being applied. For installation in an acidic atmosphere a special protective coating will be offered as an option. The effective clean room space of the FBS covers a size between 2,5 ft2 and 12,9 ft2.
Spetec clean room devices are equipped with a H 14 type filter. These have a filtration efficiency of 99.995%. This means that the filter captures at least 99.995% of all 0.12 µm particles (as per MPPS). The filtration efficiency is approx. 99.9995% for 0.3 µm particles. This laminar airflow below the flow modules means that there is no crossover with dirty air from the outside and the air moves as a parallel stream.
, available as a floor-standing or table top device, offers a cost effective and simple solution to the particle problem. The CleanBoy® ready to use immediately with no further installation. A mobile, wheel-mounted version of the CleanBoy®

Mass Flow Controllers Powers MDC’s XpressStick Gas Delivery Module
Alicat Scientific’s MCE mass flow controllers have been integrated into MDC Vacuum Products’ XpressStick™ MFC Gas Stick. With precision control of gas flows of up to 20SLPM and onboard display, Alicat’s MCE provides gas programming functionality to the gas connection module, which links pressurised gas inputs to vacuum chambers.
The all-in-one design of the XpressStick MFC gas stick eliminates complex hardware specification in processes which include a combination of specialty gases, pressure, precise regulation, and vacuum. Its easy programming and precise gas control system allows users to go from bottle to process in one simple step. Designed to meet ultra-high purity process requirements, the XpressStick is also offered in a stainless steel model for corrosive environments.
“Fast response time, accuracy, and reliability were all key criteria in choosing an MFC instrument for our XpressStick,” explained James Moore, MDC Vice President, Engineering & Technology. “Based on past experience with Alicat, we knew that they could deliver all three, with an integrated display that enables our all-in-one design.”
With the MCE’s zero warm up time, the XpressStick is ready to control process flows in just one second, with real time mass flow, volumetric flow, absolute pressure and temperature data, fully compensated for temperature and pressure. The gas module is programmed directly through the MCE’s integrated display, with easy changes to gas type using the on-board gas calibrations.
The standard gas calibration list includes 98 gases, with an additional 32 corrosive gases on the stainless steel model. Alicat’s built-in COMPOSER™ gas mixing software can be used to compose up to twenty additional custom blends using the standard gas list. Accuracy is virtually unaffected by change in gas type, and full-scale valve range is automatically recalibrated to maintain throughput ranges.
43797pr@reply-direct.com New Website Dedicated to Effluent Decontamination Systems Launched
Astell Scientific, the leading UK manufacturer of laboratory autoclaves, is delighted to announce the launch of a new website and brand name covering its range of aqueous Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS). Under the name AstellBio, the Kent based company will offer custom built sterilisation systems designed to treat waste water from BSL level 3 laboratories and other specialist research and high containment facilities. Having already supplied such systems to various laboratories worldwide, the addition of the AstellBio brand will further enhance recognition of Astell Scientific as a first choice supplier of biowaste effluent decontamination systems.
The new website,
astellbio.com, contains background information explaining the various EDS types, available options, and provides guidance in the form of a questionnaire potential prospects can complete online or download. There is also a downloadable product brochure and comprehensive gallery detailing many of the previous projects Astell has completed.
Astell Sales & Marketing Director, Dave Thomas, commented: “The creation of the AstellBio brand provides a platform for us to target the more specialist nature of the EDS market whilst leveraging the good work we are already known for in the world of autoclaves. I would urge anyone with a requirement for controlled wastewater sterilisation to view our new website and get in touch.”
