Laboratory glassware washers and steam autoclaves from the Steelco laboratory range. From undercounter units to systems for large laboratory departments, with a documented process and full traceability.
Washers and autoclavesIn a laboratory, clean labware is a precondition for a reliable result and sterilisation for safety. One manufacturer for washing and sterilisation gives a coordinated workflow and a single support partner.
Choose a group by application: washers for laboratory glassware or autoclaves for sterilisation. Each card lists capacity, dimensions and key features, and we propose the final configuration based on your applications.
Undercounter and freestanding washers with 171 to 250 l chambers, plus a dryer for the LAB 500 series.
Washers · high capacityWashers with 350 to 600 l chambers, with pass-through versions and up to six wash levels.
Autoclaves · 85 – 9,070 lCompact vertical VS LD autoclaves and VS L series sterilisers up to 9,070 l.
For laboratories where space is limited, from undercounter to freestanding. All models have HEPA H14 drying or offer it as an option, with a choice of carriers and injectors for different glassware shapes.
Undercounter washers for small and mid-size laboratories with economical cycles, a variable-speed pump and AutoOpen and AutoClose functions. Guaranteed lifespan of 15,000 operating hours.
A compact series for laboratories where space is at a premium. Injection washing and drying on two independent levels, temperature held at 93 °C, AISI 316 L stainless steel chamber.
An undercounter dryer for the LAB 500 series. Combined with a washer it gives the same glassware throughput as two washers, because drying takes place outside the washer.
A medium-capacity front-loading washer with a full-glass door. Injection washing and drying on two levels with three possible rack positions.
A medium-capacity washer with electric or steam heating. Up to three levels and four rack positions; with the upper levels removed it cleans bottles and carboys up to 60 l.
A new generation with over 50% more usable capacity thanks to the SmartLoad system. A variable-speed pump, humidity sensor and Fast Cycle option shorten programme times.
For laboratories with large daily volumes and large vessels. Pass-through versions prevent cross-contamination, and control supports programmes of up to 65.
A freestanding high-capacity washer with a space-saving motorised vertical door. Up to three levels and four rack positions, electric or steam heating.
High-capacity hinged-door washers for bottles up to 100 l. The LAB 660 washes on three and the LAB 680 on four levels simultaneously, with a chemical drawer fitted with level sensors.
A fully automatic washer for large daily volumes, also available as a pass-through version with a door interlock between two classified areas. With a pre-heating tank a cycle takes less than 40 minutes.
The largest washer and dryer in the range: two washing pumps and up to six levels with eight rack positions. Audit trail, user management and electronic signature according to 21 CFR 11 are available on request.
For sterilising heat-resistant material, liquids and porous loads and, with biosafety options, for decontaminating infectious waste. Decontamination systems using hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide are also available.
Compact vertical-loading autoclaves with an outstanding capacity-to-footprint ratio. AISI 316 L chamber and door, cycles at 121 °C and 134 °C.
Steam sterilisers for everything from the smallest facility to a large laboratory department: metal parts, liquids, porous loads and infectious waste. Water and energy savings with Eco options.
Steam sterilisers for research laboratories, biocontainment and animal care facilities. Rectangular chamber cross section, full double jacket and a hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) port.
Correct cleaning and sterilisation must be repeatable and documented. The units record the course of each cycle, and the programme and equipment are adapted to the requirements of your laboratory.
Filtered hot air dries the outside and inside of glassware, with adjustable time and temperature.
Autoclaves run cycles at 121 °C and 134 °C, with chamber and jacket probes and a separate product probe for load monitoring.
Cycle records on a printer, USB stick or over the network and, on some models, audit trail and electronic signature according to 21 CFR 11.
Double-door autoclaves act as a pass-through between zones, with barrier seals and condensate decontamination for BSL-3 and BSL-4 use.
