A leading microbiology laboratory in Thailand is continuously expanding its service offering, and our distributor DKSH has provided an advanced autoclave solution to optimize waste disposal and sterilization processes.
The Department of Microbiology at an established government hospital in Thailand offers a full range of microbiology services, including bacteriology, mycology, virology and immunology. With over 470 ISO-certified medical services and constant expansion of new tests to combat emerging infectious diseases, the facility plays an important role in the healthcare sector.
The microbiology laboratory consists of four main areas: Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Immunology. Research activities in these areas generate waste that must be steam sterilized before disposal. In addition, laboratory equipment requires thorough sterilization before and after cleaning. Therefore, the department requires a large, powerful autoclave capable of handling a significant amount of waste and effectively sterilizing laboratory equipment.
Systec HX-780 autoclave
An autoclave is an important piece of equipment used in laboratories to sterilize solids, equipment and waste using steam.
To fully understand the customer's specific requirements, DKSH's sales team conducted an inspection of the water and power systems in the department's facility. Based on their findings, DKSH recommended the Systec HX-780 autoclave, which combined state-of-the-art technology with the customer's budget.
The Systec HX Series standing floor models are known for their versatility and precision in laboratory applications, including demanding sterilization processes. These autoclaves offer easy equipment maintenance, shorter and more efficient process times and superior operating precision.
To address the customer's initial concerns about the size and cost of the equipment, DKSH provided a comprehensive explanation of the autoclave's features. They also provided application support and usability testing to ensure the customer was well informed about the equipment's capabilities and maintenance requirements.
As Systec autoclaves can be modularly upgraded with different options and equipment to optimize sterilization processes, they were a perfect fit for the department's expansion plans.
Optimization of waste disposal and sterilization processes
As a result of this implementation, many other customers in the market have become aware of the machine's features, which include full automation, microprocessor control, easy maintenance, touchscreen operation and the ability to manage over 100 sterilization programs for different applications.
"Thanks to the large chamber of this new autoclave, our customer can process a large number of samples. The design of the autoclave is also superior to that of our customer's previous model. In addition, our customers will benefit from a safer laboratory environment and more efficient hospital facilities," explained Nisachon Boonto, Senior Executive, Technical Sales at DKSH.
By installing the autoclave, the microbiology laboratory can now optimize their waste disposal and sterilization processes, improving the efficiency and safety of their operations.
