62 Double-door Autoclave Ensures Containment Lab Safety
When Brunel University required a double door/pass-through steam sterilisers for its CAT III containment laboratory suite it was sourced direct from dedicated British autoclave specialist, Priorclave. A 350L double-door autoclave was supplied and installed within the Heinz Wolf building, a Centre for Infection, Immunity and Disease Mechanisms, and a School of Health Sciences with a CAT II and CAT III Research Facility for secure decontamination of hazardous waste.
For laboratories wanting to maintain a secure, sterile path for media and waste as it passes in and out of a sealed laboratory, specialist British autoclave manufacturer Priorclave can supply double-door (pass-through) autoclaves in various capacities.
The Priorclave double door research grade laboratory autoclave is used for de-contamination of hazardous material prior to its release from the containment suite. This made it imperative for the double-door design to have both ends of the autoclave isolated. Sealed at the point of passing through the wall by means of a specially designed bulkhead, the actual autoclave incorporates interlocks that prevent the door at the unloading end from being opened until the sterilisation cycle has been successfully completed and the load is safe to pass into the unloading end.
Following installation Priorclave engineers tested the autoclave with actual loads, made adjustment to the autoclave set-up and software to ensure optimum performance, with complete UKAS accreditation. A full report and certifi cation were passed to the university on completion.

Thermo Fisher Scientifi c today announced the completion of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) listing for the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx Real-Time PCR System. The innovative product enables clinical laboratories and assay developers to meet testing demands and enhance their molecular diagnostics workfl ows.
Clinical diagnostic and hospital laboratories across the United States have ramped up PCR testing over the last year in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. These laboratories are now seeking solutions to continue to screen for COVID-19 after emergency use authorisations (EUAs) for SARS-CoV-2 assays expire.
The high-performing qPCR system’s simplifi ed, effi cient workfl ow minimises steps to deliver quality results in as little as 30 minutes. The system has high sensitivity and specifi city and offers up to six channels for multiplexing. The cost-effective and complete solution, including simplifi ed software, enhanced security and a simple-to-use interface, comes in a compact footprint that can fi t in any lab.
The QuantStudio 5 Dx Real-Time PCR System is listed with the FDA, includes the CE-IVD Mark under the self-certifi cation process in the European Union, and has been certifi ed and approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China. The system is currently registered in more than 50 countries.

High Performance Mass Flow Controller Now has Worldwide Availability
Sensirion proudly presents its new SFC5500 mass fl ow controller series. The SFC5500 is the world’s fi rst mass fl ow controller available via catalogue distribution. The high-performance mass fl ow controller is calibrated for multiple gasses and comes with push-in fi ttings, which can be changed easily by the user. Thanks to the SFC5500’s ultra-wide control range, each device can cover multiple fl ow ranges found in conventional devices. As a result, only three different versions with different fl ow ranges are enough to cover most fl ow rates of interest. This makes the SFC5500 ideally suited for applications in the medical, analytical and industrial sectors. The SFC5500 is now available worldwide through Sensirion’s distribution network.
The SFC5500 mass fl ow controller sensor is based on the microthermal measurement principle and makes use of Sensirion’s proven CMOSens® Thanks to the exceptionally high control range enabled by the CMOSens® MEMS
Technology. This allowed us to build an innovative mass fl ow controller with best-in-class performance and excellent reliability, which - unlike most other devices on the market - does not drift and does not require in-service re-calibration.
MEMS fl ow sensor, the SFC5500 series can cover multiple fl ow ranges found
in traditional mass fl ow controllers in a single device. Coupled with multi-gas calibration and exchangeable fi ttings, the SFC5500 series offers the fi rst mass fl ow controllers on the market that are available as standard off-the-shelf products and are suitable for a wide range of applications.
The SFC5500 series complements the SFC5xxx family of Sensirion’s best-in-class mass fl ow controllers. It offers the same top performance as the SFC5400 and is therefore suitable for a broad range of applications in medical, analytical and industrial environments. However, unlike the highly confi gurable SFC5400 series, the SFC5500 series mass fl ow controllers are available in several standard pre-confi gured variants. For other gasses, fl ow ranges, fi ttings and interfaces, please check the SFC5400, or Sensirion’s most cost-effi cient OEM solution – the SFC5300.
