Redesigned autoclave series delivers advanced, sustainable features

LTE Scientific are excited to announce the release of their 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 sterilisation 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.

Manufactured for superior performance, improved ergonomics, and enhanced operator safety, the redesigned series introduces a range of features as standard. These features include automatic pneumatically operated powered doors with emergency stop, 20-program touchscreen control system and an armoured load probe, helping to improve efficiencies and reduce operator risk.

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.

Manufactured entirely at LTE Scientific’s facility in Oldham, Manchester, the new design prioritises locally sourced components and materials wherever possible, helping to reduce transport emissions and support the local economy. Optimised for efficiency, the design minimises raw material use and wastage while maintaining superior performance. Key enhancements, such as easy-assemble panels, reduce welding requirements, lower energy consumption, streamline production, and make servicing and repairs more straightforward. While the durable stainless-steel construction reduces the number of painted panels, cutting down on chemical and electricity usage. Designed with operational efficiency in mind, the new autoclaves help laboratories reduce both energy and water consumption while maximising operational efficiency

This new 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.
