About

The Health & Safety Executive awarded a contract to VWR International for the supply of a vacuum steam autoclave system for the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL).

The system will be used to process and ensure the safe disposal of hazardous biological waste, replacing an existing autoclave that is over 10 years old and has become unreliable.

The purchase is vital to ensure that biologically hazardous waste generated on site and from incidents is steam treated safely, as steam sterilization remains the gold standard for such treatment.

The Microbiology Team, which provides analytical support and services to HSE and external customers, requires the autoclave for disposing of contaminated materials from routine microbiological testing and for decontaminating incident samples.

The contract value is £28,732.8.
