Consolidated Sterilizer Systems Introduces the Ultimate Laboratory Autoclave Written by: Mike Peters New Autoclaves Feature Enhanced Safety, Space Savings, and Serviceability January 6, 2014, Boston, MA — Consolidated Sterilizer Systems announces the release of two new laboratory autoclaves in the EZ-Glide™ Vertical Sliding Door Autoclave series— models 26AV and 26BV. The new autoclave models feature unique power door operation designed for ease of use, simplified maintenance, and low cost of ownership. These new models will allow Consolidated Sterilizer Systems to continue to grow as an industry leader in the life science steam autoclave market. Each new model incorporates a combination of technical, safety, ecofriendly, and serviceability features not available on the market today. For example, these units incorporate a hinged front service panel that allows easy service access from the front of the unit. In addition, the patented WaterEco® system drastically reduces laboratory autoclave water consumption. The chambers for the 26AV and 26BV measure 26” x 26” x 39” (15.25 ft3) and 26” x 26” x 49” (19.2 ft3), respectively. These sizes are ideal for a mid-size lab looking for high sterilization capacity in a small footprint. Consolidated Sterilizer Systems President and CEO Arthur Trapotsis said the new autoclave models were developed due to a need in the market for an affordable and reliable mid-size sliding door steam autoclave. “We’re very excited to roll out these new autoclave models,” said Trapotsis. “We designed these autoclaves based on feedback from the field around serviceability and low-cost of ownership. Both autoclaves feature a unique non-stick door gasket designed to avoid door jamming, a hinged front access panel for easy service, as well as customizable design elements that are unlike anything else on the market today.” Consolidated products are sold and serviced by a network of factory authorized and trained sales and technical personnel around the world. Consolidated products are 100% Made in the USA and are built with high quality non-proprietary parts.

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 […]
