Latest Compact Top Loading Autoclave
For laboratories limited on floor space but needing to sterilise tall items such as fermentors and large capacity Erlenmeyer flasks, or have a high-density load requirement, the latest version of the Priorclave C60 top loading autoclave could prove to be the perfect choice.
Also, since it is equipped with castors enabling it to be easily moved when required and the fact that it plugs simply into a 13A socket to power-up, the Priorclave C60 top loading autoclave is one of the easiest and fastest to install.
The Priorclave compact C60 autoclave with its 60 litre stainless steel chamber can accommodate easily ten one-litre or sixteen 500ml bottles, alternatively six one-litre Erlenmeyer flasks. This highlights the versatility of an autoclave requiring just 472 x 620mm of floor space.
Through the push-button Tactrol® 2 microprocessor control system users easily programme the
sterilising parameters of time and temperature as well as select special features such as free- steaming and media warming. Free steaming can improve air removal in difficult loads and/or reduce temperature lag between the load and the autoclave, reducing process time at higher temperatures. The media warming feature cycles the temperature between approximately 45o to 55o
C once the factory pre-set temperature of 45o

UK Company ensures Safety of Purified Water for Production in China’s National Vaccine Production Base
New Agilent 4300 Handheld FTIR now Available in the UK and Ireland
Analytik announces the UK and Ireland release of the Agilent 4300 Handheld FTIR spectrometer. This lightweight, ergonomic analyser enables the direct identification and assessment of high-value materials without sample extraction, making handheld FTIR a true non-destructive testing solution.
The 4300 Handheld FTIR enables the user to take measurements wherever they are needed – regardless of the physical size or location of the object. It delivers immediate, real- time results to help the user make informed decisions about factors such as quality control, surface contamination and which samples require further testing.
The 4300 Handheld FTIR is an optimal analytical tool for the following areas:
Automotive, paints, and coatings: assessing thermal, chemical, and environmental damage; verification of composition and authenticity.
Energy and Chemicals: identifying engineering components; measuring thermal damage and coating wear.
Art and historical object conservation: confirming authenticity; analysing paints, pigments and fillers.
Metal surface analysis: ensuring that surfaces are prepared for coating; measuring surface contamination; monitoring surface cleaning processes.
Mining and Geology: mineral exploration; analysing rocks and ores.
Food and agriculture: measuring soil composition and chemistry; analysing fruit and vegetable ripeness.
Concluding, the Agilent 4300 Handheld FTIR, newest generation of analytical handheld technology, brings the power of infrared analysis out of the lab and into the field. As a powerful non- destructive analyser designed for out of lab use - the system has the versatility and flexibility to address a wide range of applications.

Competitively Priced Circulating Cooler for Laboratory Applications
The new Unichiller 003-MPC expands the product range of Huber Kältemaschinenbau by a compact and highly affordable circulating cooler. With a list price of only €1,980, the Unichiller 003-MPC is one of the most affordable circulating coolers on the market. Higher efficiencies and stable pressure and flow rates are achieved in comparison to tap water cooling. The circulating cooler further reduces water consumption and lowers the operating costs for many applications. The investment pays itself off after a short time because of the water savings and the low purchase price. With a cooling capacity of 0.28 kW at 15°C, the device is particularly suited for laboratory applications, e.g. for cooling vacuum pumps or rotary evaporators. As a standard, the circulating cooler works with natural refrigerants.

UV disinfection specialist Hanovia has supplied three UV water disinfection systems to the Institute of Medical Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Kunming. The PharmaLine PQL units destroy any unwanted microorganism in the purified water used in the production of vaccines. Moreover, these systems can display the verified ultraviolet irradiation dose online, further reducing the risk of microbial contamination.
The Institute of Medical Biology is the largest oral, anti- poliomyelitis vaccine production base in China. Since the 1960s it has produced over 5 billion vaccines for the National Planned Child Immunization programme in China. It is also the largest Chinese base for the development of Hepatitis A vaccines.
Because the Institute has always had very strict quality controls of its production process, when a new production facility was
built in 2013 the Institute opted for Hanovia’s PharmaLine PQL UV technology.
Commenting on the Hanovia equipment, Shen Feng, the senior engineer and water treatment equipment expert at the Institute, said, “Compared with other UV disinfection systems, Hanovia’s PharmaLine PQL offers validated disinfection that has been certified by an independent third party. It also displays the UV dose online, meeting the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry for verification and risk management.”
Purified Water has had almost all electrolytes removed, making it as inert as possible. The removal of any potential microbial contamination is of course also vital. Purified Water is an essential raw material for the production of vaccines and indicators (TOC, bacterial endotoxins, microorganisms, pH and conductivity) are strictly required in the pharmacopeia of many countries. Of these indicators, all but microorganisms and bacterial endotoxins can be controlled by water preparation technology.
UV kills 99.9% of the microorganisms, ensuring the concentration in purified water remains at an extremely low level (≤5cfu/ ml). UV also does not produce any unwanted disinfection by-products that might contaminate the purified water downstream.

Access to the sterilising chamber is gained through the patented Quickseal single-action door closure/opening mechanism which is designed for one handed operation and incorporates thermal and pressure locks that prevent opening at unsafe temperatures and pressure to prevent personal injury.
Priorclave has incorporated Biomaster Protection into the exterior epoxy coating, a highly effective and permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria, making any surface cleaner, more hygienic and providing durable lifelong protection against the threat of cross contamination.
This versatile top-loading autoclave range is available as a standard design or as a vacuum model, both versions are electrically heated with the elements contained within the actual chamber for faster and more efficient build-up of high-temperature, pressurised sterilising steam
