Specialised laboratory equipment such as autoclaves, laboratory ovens, incubators, drying cabinets, environmental chambers, and washer disinfectors all have a vital role to play in the education sector, supporting essential teaching, research, and practical training.
From schools to universities and occupational training centres, these devices, available from LTE Scientific, enable students to engage in practical learning, develop essential lab skills, and understand professional practices.
LTE Scientific’s laboratory products are necessary for a multitude of tasks including sterilisation, microorganism cultivation, environmental experiments and ensuring proper laboratory hygiene standards, making them essential equipment across a wide range of fields.
With reliable performance and precision, LTE’s equipment helps educators provide safe, controlled environments where students can conduct experiments, analyse results, and gain hands-on experience vital for careers in science and healthcare.
Autoclaves are crucial in educational laboratories to ensure the safe and effective sterilisation of equipment, media, and biological waste.
Our Touchclave range of high-pressure steam sterilisation autoclaves are widely used in universities, secondary schools, colleges and other scientific training centres, particularly in the biology, microbiology, medical, and pharmaceutical fields.
LTE Autoclaves can be used in advanced science classes in secondary schools to introduce students to microbiology sterilisation techniques. By helping to sterilise petri dishes, culture media, and tools after scientific experiments, students learn the importance of laboratory safety in preparation for further studies in scientific fields.
Our Touchclave-R and Touchclave-V autoclaves are perfectly suited for these environments due to their small footprint and the ability to operate without the need for direct water and drains connections thanks to their in-chamber heating element.
At colleges and universities, where research and practical coursework are more advanced, autoclaves play a crucial role in supporting microbiology, biotechnology, and medical studies.
They are used for a variety of purposes, including sterilising instruments, preparing sterile solutions, research, and waste management, while demonstrating to students the real-world sterilisation techniques used in hospitals and scientific settings.
Typically, due to the advanced research performed in further education facilities, more sophisticated autoclaves are required, such as our Touchclave-Lab “K” series or Touchclave-Systems large scale autoclaves. Available with capacities of 150-litres up to an impressive 10,000-litres, both models come with a wide range of options including vacuum system, heated jacket and air ballast to enhance research by providing greater flexibility while improving on cycle times and efficiencies.
Effective disinfection is essential in educational scientific studies. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, washer disinfectors, like the KEN IQ range, ensure thorough cleaning and disinfection of tools and instruments, thus reducing the risk of cross-contamination between experiments while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
These systems are used extensively in teaching hospitals, medical schools and science departments in colleges and universities. As UK distributors of KEN Hygiene, we proudly offer the IQ range of washer disinfectors to our UK clients, available in sizes ranging from a compact 170-litre, under bench model to a spacious 492-litre floor-standing unit. Designed with sustainability in mind, the IQ range provides a cost-effective and highly efficient disinfection solution for educational facilities.
Drying cabinets are widely used educational laboratory equipment to provide a safe and efficient solution for drying glassware, tools, and preparing samples.
They are widely used in schools, colleges, universities, and research training centres to maintain lab efficiency and hygiene. LTE offers a comprehensive range of drying cabinets, from compact 100-litre sustainable benchtop models to large 1000-litre floor-standing units, capable of reaching temperatures up to 85°C.
Designed for various applications and environments, our drying cabinets help prevent moisture-related damage, reduce contamination risks between lessons and ensure equipment is ready for accurate experiments.
By improving workflow and supporting proper lab hygiene, they contribute to safe and effective laboratory operations, helping students develop essential scientific and technical skills.
Ovens are frequently used university and school laboratory equipment – and also widely used in research training centres – supporting subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science.
LTE’s OP and Swallow oven ranges provide the perfect environment to help support advanced research while demonstrating a wide range of applications to students and fledgeling scientists. With their precise temperature controls, our ovens are invaluable for drying samples, heat treatment, and material testing.
LTE ovens are available in a range of sizes with capacities ranging from 60 to 1000-litres and precise temperature controls of 40°C up to 250°C.
An incubator is a key piece of classroom science lab equipment in biology, microbiology, and medical sectors of educational study. Incubators including LTE’s IP and Swallow models provide a controlled environment for growing microorganisms, cultivating cells, and conducting experiments that require stable temperature and humidity conditions.
By maintaining precise conditions, typically between the temperature ranges of 30°C and 80°C, our laboratory incubators (available in a wide range of sizes from 60 to 1000-litres) allow students to develop practical skills in microbial research, genetics, and cell biology, preparing them for future work in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences.
Environmental rooms and chambers assist with vital research in universities and research training centres by providing controlled temperatures and humidity for scientific studies.
They support disciplines such as biology, chemistry, environmental science, engineering, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals, enabling precise experimentation in real-world conditions.
LTE walk-in environmental rooms and reach-in environmental chambers play a key role in providing the ideal environments for studying a wide range of applications by replicating varying environmental conditions.
With modular construction and our consultative approach, we can design and manufacture rooms of any shape and style to facilitate long-term studies on many applications including food preservation, pharmaceutical shelf-life, large-scale incubation and more.
They enable accurate, repeatable experiments by providing stable, customisable conditions, which prepares students for careers in research, environmental science, and technical industries.
LTE environmental rooms and chambers provide stable, controlled conditions for precise educational studies and research.
