Consolidated CEO to Present Sustainable Sterilizer Systems Written by: Scott Mechler BS Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineer BOSTON, MA, OCTOBER 2, 2012 – Consolidated Sterilizer Systems announced today that Arthur Trapotsis, President and CEO, will be presenting innovative ideas on sustainable steam sterilizers at the 2012 International Conference on Sustainable Laboratories: Choosing the Right Equipment. His presentation is entitled: Green Autoclaves – Water Saving Designs and Practices for Steam Sterilizers. This 2012 National Institutes of Health (NIH) International Conference will be held in the Natcher Conference Center Auditorium on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, December 13-14 from 8:00am to 5:30pm. The conference’s focus this year is sustainable laboratory equipment, and Trapotsis will be presenting on green technology options available for laboratory steam sterilizers. “I look forward to the NIH conference because it provides the opportunity to discuss specific utility and cost saving solutions that assist in creating environmentally sound laboratories,” Trapotsis said. “Facilities management is a major expense for any business today, however much of this can be offset by adopting green solutions. Consolidated is dedicated to helping architects, building designers, and facilities managers construct the greenest laboratories possible by providing the greenest autoclaves possible.” One area of focus for reducing the carbon footprint of any laboratory steam sterilizer is water consumption. Consolidated’s WaterEco® systems reduce water consumption and contribute points to a building’s LEED rating. By incorporating a WaterEco® system into an autoclave, the total water consumed in a laboratory or vivarium facility will be reduced by 50-99%; this translates into millions of gallons saved over the useful life of the sterilizer. These systems efficiently collapse and condense steam and effluent from the autoclave. Available for gravity and pre-vacuum models, WaterEco® systems can be retrofitted on existing autoclaves or as a built-in feature for new autoclaves. Consolidated Sterilizer Systems is an industry leader in development and manufacturing of gravity and pre-vacuum steam sterilizers with advanced programmable logic controllers configured for academic, life science, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Consolidated products are 100% made in the U.S.A. and built with non-proprietary parts to assure maximum uptime. For information visit www.consteril.com.

2.28.24 Setting up your SPD for Success: 8 Reasons to Own a Backup Autoclave → Steam is the most reliable and effective method for sterilizing medical equipment, and as a result, autoclaves are a fixture in almost every ASC’s sterilization setup. But, as is often the case, there are numerous situations in which ASCs find themselves without sufficient sterile processing capacity or a backup plan for when main units are […]
2.7.24 Consolidated Earns ACT Label, Highlighting Commitment to Sustainability → Have you ever wished that you could review an autoclave’s energy and water use, manufacturing impact, and packaging content similar to how you’d read a nutrition label at the grocery store? That’s the idea behind the ACT Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) label. Short for Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency, the ACT label demonstrates the environmental impact […]
7.12.23 Cordyceps Sterilization: How to Kill “The Last of Us” Parasite → In HBO’s recent adaptation of “The Last of Us,” a popular action-adventure video game, life as we know it is upended by a parasitic fungus that transforms its human hosts into zombies. The culprit? Cordyceps, a real-life genus of fungus which is best known for infecting insects (most famously ants) in much the same manner […]
