CSS to Showcase Cloud-Enabled Autoclaves at 67th annual AALAS Conference Written by: Jason Thompson The 67th annual American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) conference is right around the corner. Will we see you in Charlotte? This year’s AALAS conference marks the tenth consecutive year Consolidated Sterilizer Systems has participated in the industry-wide event. The conference is held over five days (Oct 30-Nov. 3.) and includes workshops, lectures, poster sessions, exhibits and an awards presentation for professional and technical excellence in laboratory animal science. At this year’s event CSS plans on showcasing its new Cloud-Enabled Autoclave technology — a unique sterilizer feature that allows scientists, lab managers and facilities personnel to monitor their autoclaves and download their sterilization data from any internet-ready device. Advantages of CSS’ Cloud-Enabled Autoclaves include: Cycle Alerts and Reminders — Get notifications of sterilizer cycle status, as well as maintenance reminders Cycle Report — Get instantaneous access to sterilizer cycle data — from anywhere, from any device. Data Storage — All sterilizer cycle data and reports are automatically transmitted and stored to a secure cloud platform Real Time Monitoring — Sterilizer status can be viewed in real time from anywhere via phone, tablet or desktop computer. Arthur Trapotsis, president and CEO of Consolidated Sterilizer Systems, said the AALAS tradeshow is the perfect forum to present this revolutionary new autoclave technology. “We’re looking forward to AALAS this year where we’ll be showing our cloud-enabled autoclaves, the first of their kind to hit the U.S. market,” said Trapotsis. “The Internet of Labs concept has arrived and I believe it will greatly benefit members of the life science community.” Enjoy the conference! If you plan on attending this year’s AALAS conference, be sure to stop by CSS’ booth 741 during the event. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have before, during or after the meeting.

7.12.23 Cordyceps Sterilization: How to Kill “The Last of Us” Parasite → In HBO’s recent adaptation of “The Last of Us,” a popular action-adventure video game, life as we know it is upended by a parasitic fungus that transforms its human hosts into zombies. The culprit? Cordyceps, a real-life genus of fungus which is best known for infecting insects (most famously ants) in much the same manner […]
6.30.23 Top 13 Sterile Processing Mistakes in Hospitals → When it comes to ensuring patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is among the last lines of defense. It’s this department’s sole responsibility to make sure that reusable instruments and devices are properly decontaminated, sterilized, and ultimately safe to use in future procedures — protecting patients from […]
6.22.23 Sterilization vs. High-Level and Low-Level Disinfection [a 3-Point Comparison] → In a 1939 paper, microbiologist Earle H. Spaulding introduced a system for determining which medical devices and instruments needed disinfection and which ones required sterilization. In it, he proposed that critical instruments would need to be subjected to more stringent disinfection protocols than non-critical patient care items. Today, this framework is fittingly known as Spaulding […]
