3M’s Zwijndrecht laboratory is designed for research and development of specialty materials as well as technical support.
As part of the lab’s refurbishment, 3M purchased a Tuttnauer 4496-2VEP double-door, 160-liter horizontal sterilizer. This fast-cooling unit is equipped with a steam generator and a biohazard filtration system to prevent the release of microorganisms into the environment.
Tuttnauer oversaw the successful installation of the sterilizer, personnel training, and the validation period (including IQ/OQ).
The sterilizer has been up and running since January 2014, and we are happy to add 3M to our list of satisfied customers.
Tuttnauer Europe’s reach extends to Zwijndrecht, Belgium, where a Tuttnauer sterilizer has been up and running in the laboratory of 3M’s European headquarters since January 2014.
