Moist Heat Sterilization with Steam Sterilizers (Autoclaves)
Steam sterilization, or autoclaving, is a fundamental practice in laboratories. Our autoclaves use high-pressure steam to eliminate microbes and ensure equipment integrity, with a full exclusive portfolio. The main applications covered are :
Sterilization of liquids (e.g. culture media)
Sterilization of equipment which can range from the fermenter to bottles, tips, instruments, pipes, etc.
Sterilization of waste (often implied by biotech companies)

Dry Heat Sterilization with Hot Air Sterilizers
Hot air sterilization offers a versatile approach, using elevated temperatures to achieve sterile conditions. This method is particularly effective for heat-resistant materials.
Other Sterilization methods
In addition to our primary offerings, we recognize the diversity in sterilization techniques. Here are some noteworthy categories:
Chemical sterilization with Gas
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
It is effective for hollow objects, but with caution due to its explosive nature.

Ethylene Oxide (EtO)
Ideal for sensitive items because of the wide range of material compatibility, though it poses an explosion risk.
Chemical sterilization with Liquid
Peracetic acid 0.2% (C2H4O3)
FDA-approved sterilant for medical devices, known for effective disinfection, but its advantage lies in environmental friendliness due to never being sold in unstabilized solutions.
Gamma Radiation
Gamma radiation is an odorless and colorless sterilization method that doesn't compromise plastic materials.
Flaming
In microbiology labs, the main advantage of flaming is the effective sterilization of small objects, but there is a potential contamination of nearby surfaces due to material spraying during initial heating and the risk of residues on objects if not heated adequately.
