    AstellBio Liquid Waste Autoclave 200: Safer, Simpler Liquid Biohazard Disposal

    The workflow process for facilities sterilizing large volumes of liquid waste has been significantly simplified. Staff no longer need to manually load containers of liquid waste into autoclaves or chemically treat wastewater with disinfectants before disposal, thanks to the introduction of the AstellBio Liquid Waste Autoclave 200.

    Disposing of biologically contaminated liquid waste can be a time-consuming process for those relying on chemical sterilization. Not only is the sterilization process itself lengthy, but it also demands extensive staff training to ensure compliance with proper protocols and safety procedures. Regular retraining is required to maintain proficiency and implement new practices effectively.

    With the AstellBio Liquid Waste Autoclave 200, facilities can reduce the burden on staff. Named for the number of liters it can sterilize per hour, the Liquid Waste Autoclave 200 handles the entire process automatically. Once connected to sinks, sluices, and other wastewater-producing devices, the system collects, sterilizes, and disposes of liquid waste without requiring human interaction. Using the same thermal sterilization process as a traditional autoclave, it guarantees complete sterilization of liquid waste.

    Moreover, because the Liquid Waste Autoclave 200 relies solely on heat for sterilization, it eliminates the risk of soil or groundwater contamination.

    From pathogens and biohazards associated with Containment Levels 1 to 3 / Bio Safety Levels 1 to 3, to genetically modified organisms, toxins, liquid animal waste, or combinations thereof, the AstellBio Liquid Waste Autoclave 200 is capable of sterilizing a diverse range of liquid waste. It does all this within a compact 1.5m² footprint, making it an efficient solution for one or multiple laboratories.

    Paul Birchmore, AstellBio’s Sales and Marketing Director, commented:

    “We’ve already seen significant interest in the Liquid Waste Autoclave 200, even pre-launch. Clients working with genetically engineered organisms in the horticulture sector, in particular, have expressed exceptional excitement. Our sister company, Astell, has been producing autoclaves for 140 years, and they’ve shared their expertise with AstellBio to create the Liquid Waste Autoclave 200. In my opinion, it’s a far superior way of handling liquid waste compared to even Astell’s excellent traditional autoclaves"
