Investing in Miele Professional

Miele Professional is the global leader of commercial washer disinfectors, glasswashers and sterilisation equipment designed for use in a wide range of industries including laboratories. Miele offers flexible solutions for laboratories of all sizes, as well as a variety of accessories which complement individual requirements. 

Miele Professional’s new generation of washer-disinfectors for laboratories set new standards in terms of hygiene. They are more powerful, and require less water, electricity and process chemicals than ever before. This is the result of a new and intelligent water circulation system which adjusts the spray pressure in each individual programme phase to suit the user’s specific requirements.

Peter Symonds College is a well-established sixth form college in Winchester with around 4,000 students, making it one of the largest in the country. It is particularly renowned for its impressive science centre.

In 2006, the science department expanded further to accommodate the increasing number of students wishing to study science subjects.  The increased student numbers placed a huge demand on the turnover of laboratory glassware and equipment, which is used continuously and requires constant sterilisation to ensure a safe and infection free laboratory environment.

In January 2016, it was decided that the colleges’ 27-year-old Miele Professional washer-disinfector, having endured the rigours of an ultra-busy lab for so many years, could no longer keep up with the heavy demand. Jessica Hanney, the Senior Science Technician, decided that the time had come to invest in the latest equipment from the same reliable brand.

Jessica turned for advice to The Scientific Instrument Centre, the Miele Professional Partner who had provided the colleges’ original machine 27 years previously.  SiC has been in partnership with Miele for more than 50 years.  After a detailed assessment of the laboratory’s requirements, Jessica decided to invest in a machine from Miele Professional’s new PG range of laboratory washer-disinfectors.

Commenting on the new machine, Jessica said; “Our previous Miele Professional machine served us well for so many years, there was no question about which brand we would choose for our updated model. The new washer disinfector means that our turn-around time for cleaning the glassware is much shorter, making our job as technicians so much easier. We can now provide the best service to our students looking to learn about science.

I would definitely recommend Miele Professional and The Scientific Instrument Centre. The investment means we are guaranteed a reliable product that produces the best results with fast cycle times, which is exactly what we need in a busy laboratory.”
