Vertical autoclaves with super-drying and fast cooling system
Sterilization with autoclaves in cleanroom environments
Clean rooms are spaces designed to maintain an extremely controlled environment, with a minimum level of particulate matter and microorganisms in the air. These rooms are equipped with advanced air filtration systems that continuously renew the air, removing most particles, and ensure a clean and sterile environment. In addition, the surfaces inside these rooms are designed to be smooth, non-porous and corrosion resistant, with special paint coatings that prevent the adhesion of particles, facilitating cleaning and disinfection.
While clean rooms control the environment, autoclaves sterilize instruments, objects, culture media, liquids and other materials by using saturated steam at high temperatures and pressures for a set duration. These devices are essential to ensure that instruments and materials used in research, quality control or production, ensuring they are free from microbiological impurities.
The incorporation of autoclaves in aseptic environments, such as cleanrooms, is common, especially in sectors where purity is vital. By locating an autoclave directly in or adjacent to a clean room, the possibility of contamination is eliminated while performing experiments, manufacturing pilot batches or conducting quality control tests.
While cleanrooms are utilized across various facilities, they are particularly prevalent in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Consequently, the design of autoclaves for such environments must prioritize hygiene, avoiding dust accumulation and incorporating aseptic building materials, including bacteriological filters in the equipment’s air inlet or exhaust. Moreover, these devices must comply with industry-specific standards, like FDA CFR 21 Part 11, to meet regulatory requirements.
Autoclaves for clean rooms of certified quality
RAYPA presents an extensive selection of autoclaves for cleanrooms, including the TLV-PD and TLV-FA Series from the Top Line, designed to operate within GLP, GMP and FDA environments. With their contemporary design, professional traceability features, and specialized construction, these autoclaves stand out as superior options for performing sterilization tasks in cleanroom settings.
Autoclaves from the TLV-PD Series feature an advanced prevacuum system and an efficient final drying phase, swiftly eliminating moisture from sterilized items. This accelerates the sterilization process in solid loads and enables the immediate use of sterilized materials. Furthermore, by removing moisture, these models prevent its spread into the surroundings, aid in preserving material sterility, and minimize the potential for cross-contamination during manipulation.
Conversely, models from the TLV-FA Series are specifically engineered for liquid load processing, featuring a fast cooling system and pressure support mechanism that enables the processing of liquids in sealed containers such as pre-filled syringes and vials. This fast cooling system allows sterilized liquids and components to be available for use much sooner, reducing the duration of the cooling phase by over 70% and resulting in time savings that can reach up to 45 minutes per sterilization cycle.
In addition to the diverse range of models, a comprehensive selection of accessories is offered, such as cloud-based management software, basket lifts, flexible second probes, qualification services, and ticket printers. These tools enhance the ability to monitor and validate the effectiveness of sterilization processes conducted within the autoclave.
Realiability of sterilization equipment is essential for conducting safe and successful assays and experiments within laboratory settings, and for preserving the quality of production processes in industrial contexts. That is why all our autoclaves for clean rooms have been designed and built entirely in our facilities in Barcelona for more than 45 years, a testimony of our quality and experience.
This equipment undergoes extensive testing to ensure its quality and to comply with the most stringent regulations and standards, including the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).
Furthermore, they are capable of operating in FDA, GMP, and GLP environments and adhere to FDA 21 CFR Part 11. With this, we aim for the highest levels of excellence in production and guarantee the safety and traceability of our products.
