Antibacterial Collection Extends Laboratory Furniture Range


Hygienic furniture specialist Teknomek has kicked off 2023 by announcing a partnership with Sealwise; adding a capsule collection of furniture made from Sealwise’s unique Waterproof Construction Board (WCB) to its extensive range for laboratories.


Sealwise WCB is a revolutionary, completely waterproof panel product. It is also anti-bacterial, anti-static, resistant to chemicals, and fire-resistant, making it an ideal material for furniture designed for laboratories, where extensive and often harsh cleaning regimes are the norm. The new Teknomek Sealwise range which is manufactured by Sealwise at its factory in the UK, consists of tables, lecterns, cupboards, lockers, seating benches and more.


“We have devised this new range in partnership with Sealwise to provide additional options to customers when stainless steel is not the preferred option,” explained Michelle Locke, Product and Marketing Manager at Teknomek. “Sealwise WCB is a fantastic material for many reasons but the fact that it is completely waterproof, not just water resistant, means that it is extremely durable and suitable to for use in environments where contamination control and maintaining a hygienic culture is critical. Because the core of the board is made up of millions of minute bubbles bound together, there is no room for water – or bacteria – to get into the product under any circumstances. It therefore has excellent lifespan and offers customers superb value for money.”


Sealwise WCB utilises its own Sealwise Protect technology to provide fast, effective and long-lasting anti-bacterial protection which cannot be removed however rigorous the cleaning or wear and tear. The treated surfaces inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odours, making furniture constructed from WCB vastly more hygienic and durable than wood-based construction boards such as MDF.


Sealwise WCB is also an environmentally responsible material. It is made from PVC which, due to recent advances in recycling processes, is viewed as one of the greenest materials available because it can be recycled multiple times. The outer top and bottom surface of Sealwise WCB is made from virgin PVC and the core of the board is made from recycled UPVC.


The Teknomek Sealwise range will include tables and lecterns with legs manufactured from stainless steel with a Sealwise WCB work surface, as well as cupboards, seating benches and lockers entirely constructed from Sealwise WCB.

Data acquisition and logging of laboratory equipment cycle data is becoming increasingly important for many laboratories and institutions. LTE Scientific’s Touchclave-Lab autoclave range addresses this issue in a number of ways.


Unlike many autoclave manufacturers, Internal Data Archiving is a standard feature on all Touchclave-Lab models. Up to 5000 cycles are stored on an internal flashcard, which, when full is simply replaced. The data from the flashcard is easily downloaded to a PC using LTE’s Touchclave-NET software. All data is checksum protected, and thus tamper-proof.


Alternatively, data can be downloaded in real-time to a remote PC. This is achieved either through a hard-wired installation for PC’s which are close to the autoclave, via an ethernet connection, or even through WIFI for data which needs to be collected centrally.


In addition, LTE can provide a wide range of graphic recorders or data acquisition systems to provide graphical and historical cycle data. These can be configured to meet 21CFR11 if required.


Touchclave-Lab autoclaves offer large loading volumes whilst taking up minimal floor space. They are available in a range of capacities from 150 to 450-litres and can be supplied with internal heaters, steam generators, or fed from customers own steam supply as required. The range incorporates a state-of-the-art touch-screen control system for entering and displaying all commands, cycle and program data. Lab models include a water jacket cooling system to enhance cycle performance and can also be fitted with vacuum and steam jackets allowing effective drying of porous and other loads. In addition, powered door upgrades can be added for ease.


All LTE products are supplied with Sterling anti-bacterial powder coating.


A choice of eight user-programmable cycles can be stored in the memory, with an optional memory expansion facility boosting the total to 20. All Touchclave-Lab autoclaves can be supplied with a number of additional features including vacuum, air ballast, effluent retention and high security filters. For after sales care. LTE employs a nationwide team of UKAS and HTM-qualified engineers to carry out servicing, maintenance, calibration and validation throughout the UK.
