Exciting New Touchclave-Lab “K” Series Autoclaves Coming Soon from LTE Scientific

LTE Scientific is excited to announce the upcoming release of its newly redesigned Touchclave-Lab “K” Series autoclaves.

Complete with an array of new and innovative features and sustainability focused upgrades, this enhanced range is set to redefine laboratory sterilization solutions.

The new Touchclave-Lab “K” Series has been developed with efficiency, sustainability, and user convenience at its core. Key enhancements include reduced water usage, optimised steam generation, and a sleek, modernised design.

The redesigned series introduces a range of features as standard, ensuring superior performance, improved ergonomics, and enhanced operator safety, these include:

•    Automatic pneumatically operated powered doors with emergency stop, improving efficiencies and reducing operator risk.
•    20-program touchscreen control system, allowing for more cycles to be programmed in.
•    Armoured load probe, prevents accidental probe damage, saving on cost to replace.
•    Air ballast system for faster processing of liquid loads.

To meet diverse laboratory needs, the new range offers a wider selection of sizes compared to its predecessor, with standard capacities of 150, 225, 300, 360 and 450, additional 640, and 730 litre models will be available late 2025. Furthermore, the range includes pass-through models, ideal for laboratories requiring a separation between clean and dirty environments or requiring controlled workflow.

Sustainability has been central to the redesign of these units, embracing a holistic approach that spans the entire manufacturing and operating processes.

The new autoclaves are manufactured entirely on-site at LTE Scientific in Oldham, Manchester, using locally sourced components and materials where possible to reduce transport emissions whist supporting the local economy. The optimised design minimises raw material use and wastage while maintaining superior performance. Enhanced features, such as easy-assemble panels, have minimised welding requirements, reducing energy usage and streamlining production, while also making the units easier to service and repair. The stainless-steel build minimises the number of painted panels, consequently reducing chemical and electricity usage. To support customer practices the new autoclaves are constructed to reduce energy and water consumption while maximising operational efficiency. These new autoclaves fully reflect LTE Scientific’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

This eagerly anticipated range reflects LTE Scientific’s dedication to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions that align with the evolving needs of laboratories while supporting their environmental goals.
