Falc Instruments is slated to exhibit its wares at RichMac 2009 between the 25th and 27th of November in Milan Italy. As a regional supplier for all sorts of laboratory equipment, they intend to showcase their new state of the art technologies at their stand. This Italian company is based in Treviglio and has been in business for 30 years. Their products include a variety of laboratory tools, instrumentation, and filtration devices. They also offer a wide range of portable sterilizer and tabletop autoclaves. These are available in vertical and horizontal configurations.
Falc’s ATV series sterilizers feature cycles at 134 and 121 degrees Celsius. This means both wrapped and unwrapped instruments can be processed using this equipment. Each unit features a stainless steel chamber and safety locking mechanisms on the door. These models can be used for vacuum pressure sterilization of porous or solid loads.
Portable units feature casters so the autoclave can be easily moved. The ATV 80 has an integrated printer that records each cycle along with any anomalies. It offers 4 preset cycle options and can also be manually programmed. The ATV 60 can be used for flash sterilization as well as standard automated cycles. Twin tanks segregate the clean water supply from used effluent to ensure sterility.
Models 125, 150, 185, and 211 offer carefully calibrated temperature regulation with an internal probe. These units are designed for autoclaving and for preparing liquid loads. Each one has monitoring and alarm systems to notify the operator of problems like low water level or circuit interruption. A thermo-resistant plastic lid guards against contact with hot parts.
More About RichMac
Falc attends many tradeshows every year. However, this is a particularly big event that only happens once every two years. People from anywhere in the world can visit or display their laboratory wares at RichMac, but this international exhibition tends to draw people and industries primarily from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region.
This year, the 40th RichMac convention will occur within a new larger umbrella event called CHEM-MED 2009. This is the first year for CHEM-MED. The intention is to help bring together various technology tradeshows in one place. Some of the other tradeshows included at CHEM-MED 2009 will be BIOTECH Expo, the HTE Expo 2009, the CPSA Expo, BOND-TECH Expo, S-CHEM Expo, and the COMPOMAT LIGHTWEIGHT Expo.
This conglomeration is being created in preparation for EXPO 2015 that will be held in Milan as well. The theme for the 2015 event will be “Feeding the Planet – Energy for Life”. Over 200 vendors have already signed up for the RichMac 2009 division alone (300 exhibitors expected). Given that there are six others events along side of this one, attendance will likely be enormous.
One of the most exciting aspects of this combo event is the extent of the cutting edge and sometimes futuristic technologies that will be displayed. The HTE Expo will cover vacuum technologies, photovoltaics, nanotechnology, optoelectronics, photonics, fuel cells, superconductivity, and hydrogen storage technology. The potential for sharing information and ideas between the various disciplines is enormous. This could easily inspire new advances in many diverse industries.
