Autoclave Range Stores Data for Up to 5,000 Cycles

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.

A standard feature on all Touchclave-Lab models is internal memory. Up to 5,000 cycles are stored on an internal flashcard, which when full, is simply replaced. The flashcard data 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 PCs that are close to the autoclave or via Ethernet for data tends to be collected centrally.  

In addition, LTE can supply a wide range of graphic recorders or data acquisition systems that provide graphical and historical cycle data.

Touchclave-Lab autoclaves are available in a range of capacities from 150 to 450 l and can be supplied with internal heaters, steam generators or fed from customers’ own steam supply as required. The range incorporates a touchscreen control system for entering and displaying all commands, cycle and program data. ‘K’ models include a water jacket cooling system to enhance cycle performance and can also be fitted with steam jackets to allow effective drying of porous and other loads.

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 12-strong team of UKAS and HTM-qualified engineers to carry out servicing, maintenance, calibration and validation.
