LTE Scientific has introduced its own scrappage scheme for
customers looking to buy a new autoclave.
Regardless of make, age or condition, LTE will take away
customers old autoclaves and make an additional allowance
against a new LTE autoclave. This offer applies across the entire
autoclave range. When buying a new LTE cylindrical-chambered
autoclave, the minimum scrappage allowance LTE will
offer is £500.00. When buying a new LTE square-chambered
autoclave, the scrappage allowance increases to a minimum
of £1000.00. LTE’s managing director, John Lees commented
“There are a number of potential customers who have old,
inefficient autoclaves that don’t perform well or even comply
with latest safety standards. They want to replace their old
machines but money is a little tight. We feel that this offer will
act as a stimulus for those wanting to buy a new autoclave but
who need that little bit of extra help”.

LTE has been awarded a £600K contract to equip the prestigious
new Easter Bush Research Consortium (EBRC) building
with six new large capacity autoclaves. Two of the autoclaves
will be pit-mounted 6000litre units with chambers of 2200mm
x 1200mm x 2275mm HWD, which will be housed in EBRC’s
prestigious new £60m state-of-the-art building on the University
of Edinburgh’s Easter Bush Veterinary Campus which
is due for completion in 2010. The six LTE autoclaves will
be pivotal in providing essential sterilisation services for the
Centre and once installed and commissioned will serve the
needs of the 500 scientists who will be moving there from the
Roslin Institute and the Scottish Agricultural College. John Lees,
LTE Scientific Managing Director commented “This large order
further strengthens our position in this competitive sector. We
are delighted to have been selected to supply our autoclaves
into such a high profile project as EBRC”.
