Spire Integrated Solutions, the premier manufacturer of steam sterilizers and washing equipment for the Vivarium marketplace, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, introduced the company's next-generation washing equipment and the industry's first common PLC platform at AALAS 2022.

What is AALAS?

AALAS 2022 is the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science's annual national meeting. The American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) is a membership association of professionals employed around the world in academia, government, and private industry. These professionals dedicate themselves to the humane care and treatment of laboratory animals and the quality research that leads to scientific gains that benefit people and animals.

The Launch

During the AALAS annual meeting, Spire had launched the long-awaited product enhancement to the company's Vivarium washing equipment and steam sterilizers.

According to Spire Integrated Solution's CEO, Jim Fry, the Vivarium equipment manufacturer is launching the first-ever common control platform that operates the company's PRIMUS-brand steam sterilizer and LYNX-brand washing equipment.

Spire launches an industry first at the AALAS 2022 convention.

Spire Integrated Solutions is the first and only autoclave and laboratory washing equipment manufacturer to offer a common PLC platform. This interchangeable PLC platform can be found on the PRIMUS Steam Sterilizer and the Lynx brand Tunnel Washer.

"Our main goal, when designing this common platform, is to improve the user experience significantly. We wanted our platform design to look, feel, and operate the same among Spire's autoclave and washing equipment."
