Labclave-L Autoclave Stands Out with Integrated Automatic Door System
Designed from the ground up with operator safety, comfort, and workflow efficiency in mind, LTE Scientific’s Labclave-L autoclave features a fully automatic, pneumatic door system as standard, something not typically found as standard on comparable models.
Designed from the ground up with operator safety, comfort, and workflow efficiency in mind, LTE Scientific’s Labclave-L autoclave features a fully automatic, pneumatic door system as standard, something not typically found as standard on comparable models.
While many autoclaves rely on manual opening and closing mechanisms, the Labclave-L’s automatic system provides hands-free operation to reduce physical strain and streamline daily use. It features a robust interlock that ensures the door cannot open until pressure has been fully vented and temperatures have returned to safe levels.
A key element of the safety system is a pressure-sensitive sensor located at the top edge of the door. If the door comes into contact with an obstruction during closing (for example, a user’s hand or other object) the system automatically halts movement. The door can then be gently pushed back to prevent any potential trapping or injury. In addition, an emergency stop button offers immediate manual control whenever needed.
By combining thoughtful ergonomics with safety-first engineering, the Labclave-L supports fast-paced laboratory environments while enhancing user wellbeing. The smooth door operation not only reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks, but also improves turnaround time between loads, helping teams work more efficiently without compromising on protection.
This feature exemplifies LTE Scientific’s long-standing focus on integrating practical enhancements into its sterilisation solutions.
