STERIS Launches the Revamped Reliance™ 100 Series Laboratory Washers Globally

STERIS announces the availability of the revamped Reliance 100 Series Laboratory Glassware Washers to its line of laboratory glassware washing systems. These new washers are designed to help STERIS research Customers better address their specific automated washing needs.

The research industry is under pressure more than ever before to improve their processes and control costs. They require eco-friendly and reliable equipment that can easily be adapted to various applications, provides consistent results, and reduces their total cost of ownership.

“Many Customers are looking for cost-efficient, small washers that can easily be installed at the point of use in each laboratory,” comments Olivier Van Houtte, Senior Product Manager for STERIS Life Sciences. “The new Reliance 100 washing systems include several design improvements to increase ease of use and flexibility for research facilities.”

All three models of the Reliance 100 Series systems can efficiently clean and dry a vast range of typical laboratory glassware and plastic ware. The 100XLS model, with its advanced process monitoring system, is particularly well suited for critical cleaning applications. These new washers are available in under-counter and freestanding configurations for optimal flexibility. The intuitive Android-based control allows operators to easily select either factory-set or user-set programs.

The revamped Reliance 100 systems are now available for order. Local STERIS account managers can be contacted for more information.
