Life sciences encompass the scientific study of living organisms, from microorganisms to complex ecosystems. LTE provides a comprehensive range of innovative and reliable products designed to support various aspects of life science research, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.
With products including advanced laboratory ovens and drying cabinets, large-scale environmental rooms for precise environmental testing, sustainable laboratory glassware washers, and research-grade autoclaves, all tailored to meet the rigorous demands of scientific exploration.
LTE manufacture a wide range of specially designed general laboratory and research autoclaves for the life science sector, providing essential sterilization capabilities that ensure safety, experimental integrity, and compliance with health and safety regulations across the various branches of life science and their respective applications.
As experts in steam sterilization, we have a series of distinctive autoclaves, each designed to be successively more proficient than the last to provide a solution for all applications and all budgets.
LTE laboratory autoclaves are available with capacities from 40-litres with their Touchclave-R series up to 10,000-litres with their all-encompassing, customisable, Touchclave Systems series.
Whether you require an autoclave for general lab work (BSL-1/BSL-2) or a more secure environment (BSL-3) we can assist by offering a wide range of options and accessories, including a CAT3 effluent filtration system for BSL-3 waste or GM work to ensure operator safety. We can also provide both single entry autoclaves for standard use and pass-through autoclaves for work separation, or essential research where clear robust separation through room classifications between working areas is mandatory, for this a full bio seal otherwise referred to as a barrier seal is provided.
Understanding customer requirements is essential when it comes to autoclaves to ensure optimal performance, which is why we offer obligation free advice, often with a site visit (where viable) from our expert team. Our consultative approach ensures you are getting the correct autoclave for your requirements and budget. Contact us today so we can help you get the equipment you need to achieve success.
Disinfection plays a huge part in research laboratories as a precursor to sterilization, which is why we have partnered with Danish manufacturer KEN hygiene to supply laboratories with the IQ range of sustainable laboratory washer disinfectors. The IQ range provides a sustainable solution to clean and disinfect glassware, pipettes and other instruments, ensuring they are clear of contaminants prior to sterilization to ensure complete decontamination.
What sets the IQ apart from other washer disinfectors is its intelligent design, which reduces electricity, water, and chemical consumption while delivering shorter cycle times. Despite using fewer resources, it maintains exceptional performance, enhancing departmental efficiency and minimising environmental impact. This balance of sustainability and reliability makes it a standout choice for modern facilities.
Ovens and Incubators have always been a staple in many laboratories. LTE has been a prominent leader in thermal equipment since our inception with our ovens and incubators being a common sight in labs across the UK and even worldwide.
LTE OP Laboratory Ovens operate at temperatures between 40°C and 250°C and are available with either convectional heating or fan circulated heating. With a wide range of sizes from 60-litres up to 1000-litres, they offer the perfect solution for dry heat sterilization where autoclaving isn’t suitable, sample drying and the curing of substances or materials.
Like the OP ovens our IP incubators come with either convectional heating or fan circulated heating, with the same capacity ranges. However, as the purpose of the IP incubator is primarily incubation the temperatures range from 30°C to 80°C allowing for a more controlled environment to regulate the incubation chamber allowing for the successful growth of cell, tissue and microbial cultures. Incubators can often be found in developmental, biochemical and molecular biology laboratories.
Laboratory Drying cabinets are essential for ensuring that glassware, instruments, and samples are thoroughly dried in a controlled environment. Their use is critical in various processes, from sample preparation and solvent evaporation to the drying of equipment after cleaning.
By removing moisture effectively, drying cabinets help maintain the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of laboratory operations. LTE have a range of different drying cabinets ranging from 100-litres up to 1000-litres capacity, we also have a sustainable range of eco-drying cabinets which reduce energy usage by up to 50% compared to traditional cabinets, helping labs reduce emissions and get ready for Net Zero.
Environmental rooms, also known as controlled environment rooms or stability chambers, are specialised facilities used in life sciences for applications requiring precise control of temperature, humidity, and light. These rooms play a vital role in research, development, and production, ensuring stable conditions for drug stability testing, microbial studies, and other critical processes where environmental consistency is essential for accurate and reliable results.
All LTE Environmental rooms are built on a bespoke basis dependent upon customer requirements. The rooms construction is modular allowing custom configuration to fit the space available, the parameters of the room can also be customised in line with customer requirements to provide precise environmental control for all applications.
We have installed environmental chambers in many sectors to assist with a wide range of applications including clinical and biomedical research, stability testing, microbiology and virology, material testing and research, shelf-life studies and more. Contact us today to find out more about our environmental rooms.
LTE is a great place to work whether you are based at its headquarters or out in the field. As a growing business we regularly have opportunities available, all of which will be advertised here.
