9 Safety, Hazard Containment & Sterilising Equipment
Rectangular Chamber Laboratory Autoclaves
The distinct advantage of Priorclave’s rectangular chamber autoclaves is simply the convenience of sterilising more in a single process, handling larger bulkier items with faster drying times.
The EH450 and EH700 autoclaves are the largest models, with 450L and 700L sterilising chambers respectively. Both models are available in the new PERFORMANCE category of research grade autoclaves. They come equipped with steam/water-jackets creating a fast-to-heat and fast-to- cool cycle. This enables the autoclaves to produce drier loads more quickly and reliably and at lower cost than many comparable sterilisers, allowing even modest labs access to the highest capacity and performance steam autoclaves available.
The capability of these latest rectangular chamber autoclaves will appeal to organisations such as research establishments, colleges and universities, industrial, and quality assurance facilities, laboratories where high-throughput sterilising is required.
Access to the sterilising chamber is through a large rectangular door fitted with a three- wheel locking mechanism. The lower handwheel is fitted with thermal and pressure locks to prevent opening at load temperature above 80°C and pressures above 0.2 bar. In addition to this key safety feature, they have epoxy coated panels and frame members treated with an anti-bacterial agent which is effective against all bacteria and fungi including MRSA. This helps prevent cross contamination in laboratories.
There are three other models in this range, starting with chamber sizes from 230 and are among the most efficient on the market, as well as the easiest to service and most reliable. It’s a range that offers long-term reliability.
These research grade autoclaves are in integral part of Priorclave’s new groups created to help customers identify the most appropriate category for their applications. Other models in the rectangular autoclave range start from 230L chambers.
All models are available electrical heated with the element contained within the actual chamber, alternatively they can be installed ready for direct-steam source heating.
Priorclave’s standard line of rectangular autoclaves are among the most efficient on the market, as well as the easiest to service and the most reliable.

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.”

Erlab’s Captair Smart ductless filtering fume hoods feature the most advanced molecular filtration technology available. Multiple chemical types can be adsorbed in one filter, so you are no longer limited to application-specific filters or the inability to adapt to new lab processes.
Discover the Future Safety Solution for HPLC Waste
Discover the liquid safety solution of the future, and turn your waste container into a closed safety system. The modular Safety Waste Cap ‘LISA’ blocks chemical vapours with its 3-layered exhaust air filter. It connects safely to your HPLC waste lines, and provides safe disposal of chemicals like solvents, acids and alkalis. It comes with multiple connectors for many tubing sizes, and is available for different containers and thread types.
The Safety Waste Cap is made of chemically resistant materials (PTFE and PE-HD) for use with all common chemicals used in analytical labs. The modular system is extendable with accessory ‘Satellites’ for additional connections and applications.
In order to block hazardous vapours and avoid overpressure inside the container, the Safety Waste Cap LISA works perfectly with the original 3-layered SCAT exhaust air filters. The filters contain 3 types of activated carbon, optimised for catching vapours of solvents, acids and alkalis.
The screw cap is freely rotatable and prevents your HPLC tubing from twisting when changing the container. Due to the variety of included connectors for different tubing sizes, LISA fits every HPLC/UHPLC system. To keep the system safely closed, it comes with blind plugs for every connection port.
For use in explosion-protected zones, electrically conductive versions are available. They provide a grounding connection for antistatic protection, and are designed for use with electroconductive containers.
