Autoclaves
As laboratory environments continue to evolve, changing workloads, increasing efficiency demands and limited space are placing greater emphasis on how essential equipment is selected and integrated. Laboratories are increasingly looking for solutions that combine reliable performance with flexible installation, efficient operation and reduced infrastructure requirements.
LTE Scientific’s new Touchclave-V+ Eco autoclave has been designed to provide sustainable sterilisation while reducing the infrastructure requirements often associated with laboratory autoclave installation. With 13A plug-and-play installation, the Touchclave-V+ Eco can connect to a standard 13A electrical supply, offering greater flexibility when integrating sterilisation equipment into existing laboratory environments.
The Touchclave-V+ Eco features a self-contained design, helping to simplify installation by reducing the need for additional infrastructure. Water can be filled manually, while condensate is collected internally, eliminating the need for a permanent water connection or dedicated drainage. The self-contained design provides greater installation flexibility, making the Touchclave-V+ Eco well suited to laboratories where existing infrastructure is limited.
Alongside its installation and containment capabilities, the Touchclave-V+ Eco has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, maintaining LTE’s commitment to deliver innovative ways for laboratories to reduce their energy consumption by offering energy savings of up to 40–50 per cent per cycle when compared to standard autoclave models. Its low power requirement helps laboratories optimise energy use, reducing energy consumption per cycle while supporting lower operating costs and more sustainable laboratory practices.
The Touchclave-V+ Eco’s compact footprint makes it well suited to laboratories where space is limited. Combined with its 13A plug-and-play and self-contained operation, the autoclave offers greater flexibility when positioning and installing equipment, helping laboratories make better use of existing space without extensive infrastructure requirements.
The new Touchclave-V+ Eco forms part of LTE Scientific’s ongoing commitment to developing reliable and sustainable equipment designed around the evolving requirements of laboratories.
