Model CTS
When using conventional autoclaves to sterilize media the exposure time to harmful heat can be extremely long (at least 40 minutes, but normally upwards of 1 hour). Furthermore, heat exposure may vary from batch to batch, and as well as within batches, based on the efficiency of heat penetration into the media.
Description
In a continuous sterilization process, the media has a dramatically shorter and uniform heat exposure (seconds instead of hours). This results in a higher and more consistent quality, regardless of batch size. This method is also more energy, time and manpower efficient than autoclaving and scaling to larger or smaller batches is quick and easy.
Some industries have been slow to adopt continuous thermal sterilization (CTS), but as continuous flow pasteurization and aseptic processes have evolved, MTI Biosciences has been at the forefront of developing small-scale equipment.
As of today, MTI Biosciences have provided CTS solutions to customers producing:
- Extracts for cancer treatment medicines
- Sterile microbiological media, tissue culture media and biofuel.
- Sterile solutions used in medicines and other medical applications.
- For virus inactivation
This equipment has enabled customers to increase the efficacy and yield of their products and reduce variability in product quality.
We now offer several different sizes of CTS systems. See the table below.
