Description
**Please do not respond directly to the Buyer. Bids should be submitted through the CCS E-Sourcing Suite. Please note the deadline for Bids is Friday 15th December 2017 at 11:00.**
MRC at the Research Complex at Harwell requires to purchase a 600-1000L steam sterilizer autoclave and associated equipment required (e.g. steam generator, water softener) to cater for an increase in number of users and workload. Our current equipment does not provide enough capacity for our growing needs. We require a larger capacity sterilizer chamber with fast heating and cooling times to enable large loads with quick turnaround to allow several cycles to be run per day. We will run mixed waste (biological hazard 1 and 2), media, glass, plastics and fabrics cycles as specified in the Key Features and Capabilities section.
