New Antimicrobial Bacteriological Barrier for Higher BSC Protection
The complete range of Telstar’s biological safety cabinets - Bio II Advance Plus and BiOptima - incorporates ZEROCOAT, a new antimicrobial bacteriological barrier, as a standard treatment applied in the work area. ZEROCOAT is a new photocatalytic treatment based on titanium dioxide which has been implemented by Telstar inside biological safety cabinets designed to operate with risk 1, 2 and 3 biological agents (viruses and bacteria or infectious material).
ZEROCOAT is the new treatment that provides a self-cleaning surface which breaks down organic matter when the light system is triggered. This activation, which can be either with white or ultraviolet light, makes organic matter oxidise naturally, safely and instantly at the molecular level. This provides it with particularly significant attributes in terms of bacterial protection, cleanliness and maintenance, durability and costs.
Existing antimicrobial coating systems for laboratory cabinets are composed of high levels of silver particles, which are applied exclusively to painted surfaces on the outside of the equipment. In contrast, the innovative ZEROCOAT treatment is incorporated on the inside of the cabin to fully protect the work surface and, among other variables, endows the stainless steel that surrounds the chamber`s interior with a high potential antimicrobial power.
The photocatalyst power of ZEROCOAT has been validated through an exhaustive battery of tests carried out in Telstar’s R&D department. The new treatment has been applied on different surfaces exposed to different types of light and wavelengths and the different organic compounds were subsequently checked for degradation. The results were then compared to tests carried out on untreated surfaces. In addition, the resistance of the new treatment to standard cleaning procedures in a cabinet and stability over a period of time has also been validated.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Solutions for Laboratory Applications
The cavitation phenomenon consists of the formation and growth of millions of microscopic bubbles under a low-pressure stage, produced into the ultrasonic bath due to a high power transducer 40kHz. These bubbles break in all directions and attack every surface in contact with water, erasing dirt, impurities and pollutants when contacting with the materials or pieces into the bath. This phenomenon allows cleaning all kind of items without the need of disassembling, due to all the surfaces being in contact with the liquid. The heating function of the unit allows the acceleration of this cleaning process.
Wiggens presents two series of standard ultrasonic cleaners with reliable quality and useful features, which allows the users a wide range of cleaning applications such as lab materials, medical instruments, dental prosthesis, optics, industrial items, jewelleries, also the degasification or liquid dissolution and compact substances disaggregation.
The following are the standard working volumes supplied: 3, 6, 10 and 22 litres, and bespoke volumes can be ordered for different applications. All functions can be viewed and monitored on a large and clear touch screen display. The parameters can be set by screen touching, including the ultrasonic working power (40% to 100%), bath temperature (20°C to 80°C), timer and warning function for safety.
All models are equipped with lids and trays that allow the parts they introduce to be directly cleaned without damaging the transducers and for easy handling.
In addition to the standard ultrasonic cleaners, Wiggens also offers the ultrasonic cleaners with special added functions. The Shaking Ultrasonic Cleaner is a good example, which means that the sample can be pre-homogenised at a specific shaking speed, and then final homogenisation can be achieved in a very short time, using ultrasonic power These two procedures can be carried out simultaneously or separately. Another added function is an ultrasonic cleaner with cooling for use in pathology and analysis labs, where the temperature of bath can be maintained at 10°C to 40°C even with the ultrasonic power generating heat continuously.

Pre-validated Bioprocess Vessels and CIP Systems Combine for Hybrid Single Use Facilities
Suncombe, the cleaning and critical process systems specialists, has announced the global release of the PureVessel™ range of systems, for sanitary and sterile liquid storage, preparation, thermal treatment and mixing. They are typically required in the biopharma sector, laboratories and research institutes.
The PureVessel range of systems, expands on a Suncombe range of vessels developed over the last 40 years and is certified to ASME and ISO/EN standards for processing biopharma products, complying with all relevant regulations. These systems have been developed to operate within the hybrid bioprocessing model, in which a bio processing facility employs a combination of single use technologies (SUT) and stainless steel multi use equipment.
One of the drivers for the transition to single use methodologies is the complexity of the clean in place (CIP) and sterilise in place (SIP) operations of stainless steel multi use equipment, to ensure that there is no cross contamination and all work is developed in a sterile state. There are many advantages in employing re-usable stainless steel equipment and in order to make this usage more practical, the company has developed a pre-validated version of PureVessels combined with its PureCIP™ or MobileCIP® equipment.
Operating with the Suncombe PureCIP or MobileCIP, to provide a pre-validated CIP/SIP cycle, every PureVessel can be individually ‘plugged’ into the automation system, allowing the CIP/SIP to recognise the PureVessel being cleaned and select the optimum cycle for each vessel. On cycle completion an electronic and/or paper batch report, secured to 21CFR part11, is generated to accompany the clean/sterile vessel, to validate the result.
Available in capacities from 10 to 300 litres, the mobile or static PureVessels are modular built and can be equipped with top entry agitators, bottom mounted magnetic mixers, heating and cooling jackets, mounted on load cells, spray devices and instruments with the option of custom design and manufacture for specific requirements. The units are constructed from 316 stainless steel and Hastelloy for chlorine resistance.
Commenting on the release, Suncombe Director Steve Overton said: “Combining the PureVessel unit and the Suncombe PureCIP and MobileCIP, provides clients with a pre-validated system, taking away many of issues and validation works. This simplicity of operation and ‘plug and play’ start up makes these the ideal combination for incorporating in a hybrid model of single use (SUT) technologies.”
