38 Autoclaves Offer All Round Energy Efficiency


Cylindrical (or round) chamber autoclaves tend to be supplied with the heating element directly in the actual sterilising chamber. Also, the inherent strength of a cylindrical design means that the stainless-steel wall is normally thinner. It means faster heating to the correct sterilising temperature, reducing the overall sterilising processing time.


Another significant advantage of this style is that due to thinner chamber walls it weighs less and is more economical to produce. This ultimately reflects in an overall lower cost.


One of Britain’s leading, dedicated manufacturer of laboratory and research grade autoclaves is Priorclave. And within its extensive steriliser range there now is a wider choice of cylindrical chamber autoclaves owing to the recent introduce of Base, Smart and Performance models.


The range comprises front loading machines, benchtop autoclaves of 40 and 60L capacities and floor-standing sterilisers from 100 to 400L. Priorclave also manufactures top-loading laboratory autoclave types with chamber capacities from 60 to 150L. The new ranges give customers more choice of standard cylindrical chamber laboratory and research grade autoclaves.


As steam is the sterilising medium, it is vital that items in the chamber come fully into contact with autoclave steam. Another big advantage of the circular profile compared with ‘square’ chambers is that when loaded, there will always remain a free path for air/steam to circulate. It ensures that correct sterilisation takes place.


All steam sterilising process parameters are easily programmed through the Tactrol® 3 controller, allowing for adjustment of temperature and time for simple cycles to fully featured multi-programme operation. This powerful controller gives unrivalled flexibility, monitoring and management of the process cycle.


The high standards maintained at every stage of cylindrical chamber production at Priorclave’s UK manufacturing centre ensures the operational longevity of every research grade laboratory autoclave. All products are supported by first class pre- and after-sales technical support and warranty. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/06qJ and ilmt.co/PL/1Xx8

Flexible Tubing Solutions for Regulated Environments


Biotech Fluidics has released a new selection of flexible tubing made of traceable, certified PEEK and fluoropolymer materials, suitable for use in regulated environments.


Tubing plays a crucial role in fluidic systems, especially in medical and life science applications. The biocompatibility standards outlined in regulations such as ISO 10993 (for medical devices and dental materials), US Pharmacopeia Class VI (for toxicity), FDA title 21, and EU Regulation 1907/2006 (for DEHP content) impose stringent requirements on the selection of flexible plastic tubing. Therefore, the choice of tubing must comply with these regulations to ensure safe and effective operations in these industries.


To cater to the needs of medical and life science applications, Biotech Fluidics now provides premium, FDA-certified flexible plastic tubing in pre-cut and bulk quantities. Not only does this tubing comply with regulatory requirements, but each supply also includes traceability information such as the manufacturing lot number. Furthermore, upon request, Biotech Fluidics can deliver sterilised tubing assemblies prepared in a cleanroom environment, ensuring the highest level of quality and cleanliness.


As experienced specialists in fluidic systems, Biotech Fluidics is well-equipped to help you find the most suitable regulatory-compliant flexible plastic tubing for your specific needs. The company offers a wide range of precisely manufactured tubing with tight OD and ID tolerances, available for quick delivery. In addition, Biotech Fluidics can provide customised OEM solutions, including pre-cut tubing and mounted fittings that comply with regulations, packaged with your own label and other requirements.

Expanded Compatible Consumables for Organic Elemental Analysis


Alpha Resources LLC, a leading aftermarket supplier of consumables and reference materials, has expanded its range of compatible consumables used with Elementar® organic elemental analysis instruments.


Elementar has played a significant role in shaping the field of organic chemical analysis through its innovations and growth. It was the first producer of analytical instruments for industrial applications on a global scale and a pioneer in instrumental methodology.


Alpha Resources provides online reference guides for compatible aftermarket consumables, which are easily accessible to website visitors. In line with the product expansion, Alpha Resources has created or updated reference guides for Elementar products to help customers order the correct parts or consumables. The updated reference guides for Elementar instruments include a range of analysers such as Organic Elemental, N/Protein, TOC Analysers, and IRMS-EA, which detail compatible consumables and other aftermarket supplies.


“Although Alpha has years of experience supplying consumables to OEMs, deciding to expand product compatibility and support into a new brand line is still not something Alpha undertakes lightly. Determining which analytical equipment to support with aftermarket supplies requires the Alpha team to carefully consider product compatibility and perform extensive testing to perfect the products so they meet Alpha’s stringent quality standards while still providing a value to customers,” noted Ken Mantei, Director of Operations for Alpha Resources. “We know aftermarket consumables form a substantial part of any lab’s operating costs. Ordering through a reputable aftermarket supplier, like Alpha Resources, is a way to stay on budget while maintain quality and reliability of analysis. Our years of experience supplying many OEMs gives us the confidence to offer these quality Elementar compatible products to the market - with value in mind for the end user.”
