The EDS+ BioWaste treatment system was recently launched globally for biologically hazardous waste decontamination and growth media sterilization. The systems, certified to ASME and ISO/EN standards, are now suitable for local standardization and offer dual controls in local languages and English. Following five years of successful internal and external testing, the company’s newest EDS+ system has been enhanced to include a number of major technical advances, including thermal energy regeneration, dual redundancy, anti-foam control, pH neutralization, 100% positive release for treated waste and electronic records generation. The EDS+ is designed for waste levels from BSL1 to BSL4, and is typically used in the biopharmaceutical sector, laboratories and research institutes. — Suncombe Ltd., Enfield, Middlesex, U.K.
