Lancer Introduces New Steam Sterilizers for Laboratory Research Applications

Lancer Sales, USA, hasintroduced a new line of laboratory steam sterilizers developed for highperformance sterilization of labware, processed materials and byproducts oflaboratory research for new lab construction or replacement use in lifescience, biotech and industrial applications.

The new sterilizersare available in single and double door pass through configurations among fourcabinet sizes ranging from 4.6 cu.ft. (130 liters) to 20.7 cu.ft. (590 liters).All models are a compact 74” high (1880mm) with space-saving vanishing verticaldoors that eliminate the need for any door swing or elevation clearance abovethe cabinet. Doors are powered or manually operated, depending on modelselected.

Cabinets are designedfor single or double-wall recessed installation with direct connection to thefacility steam supply. Optional electric steam generators and vacuum pumps areavailable to meet user preferences.

All models featuremicroprocessor controls and fingertip accessible multifunction displays ofcycle performance. Preprogrammed cycles are provided for gravity, vacuum andliquid applications. Administrator access permits custom cycle addition ormodification as required. Analog pressure gauges monitor jacket and chamberpressure independent of the electronic system.

The sterilizersinclude onboard documentation to create a permanent record all cycleparameters, start and complete times, interim phase and transition pressuresand temperatures, and other critical functions. Thermal printers, data portsand NetCOM communications permit hard copy and electronic recordkeeping at thesterilizer or via a remote monitoring system.

Engineeringconsiderations to enhance safety and performance include:

·       Safety interlocks and valves to prevent unsafeoperation or over pressurization.

·       Automatic systems check-out and approval prior tocycle start.

·       One-touch cycle abort on demand.

Options andaccessories include water-saving systems, independent load probes, supplementalliquid ring vacuum pumps, load shelves, load cars and mobile load car trolleys.
