Plug-and-play
Operational upon connection, factory-tested before shipping, with no complex commissioning or infrastructure modifications.
MICRO – Laboratory decontamination system
High-capacity thermal decontamination of biological effluents, designed for constrained spaces.
Compact, standalone, and fully automated, the MICRO treats up to 300 litres of biological liquid effluents per day directly in the laboratory, without the use of chemicals. Equipped with an integrated energy recovery section, it guarantees a validated F0 50 decontamination level for every cycle, in a format optimized for restricted spaces and compatible with BSL1 to BSL3 environments.
- Treatment capacity: Up to 300 L/day (80 gal/day)
- Effluent type: Aqueous (water-based liquids)
- Buffer tank capacity: 250 L (66 gal), 400 L (106 gal) option
- Environmental certification: ISO 14001
- Patents: FR3553689 / EP14738747.6 / CA2915774
Why choose the Micro as your laboratory decontamination system?
- Total thermal inactivation, cycle after cycle Thermal treatment at 135°C (275°F) for 2 minutes guarantees the complete destruction of bacteria, viruses, spores, and heat-resistant pathogens. The F0 50 level is equivalent to 50 minutes at 121°C.
- Zero chemicals, no waste management chain No bleach, no biocides, and no hazardous waste collection contracts. The MICRO reduces your regulatory footprint and radically simplifies consumable management. ISO 14001 certified.
- Zero handling of contaminated effluents Fully closed and 100% automated system. The onboard PLC controls and monitors all cycles in real time. Liquids are never handled between production and treated discharge. Operator exposure risk: eliminated.
- Integrated energy recovery The energy recovery section ensures the preheating of incoming effluents and the cooling of treated outgoing effluents, with no chilled water required. An efficient design that significantly reduces your overall power consumption.
- Designed for restricted spaces, tested before shipping Specifically developed for installation in limited-access areas, the MICRO is factory-tested before every delivery and is operational as soon as it is plugged in—no complex commissioning required.
- Cost-effective solution for research and education Mass-produced, the MICRO was designed to fit the budgets of university and research laboratories without compromising on performance or safety.

Key features
Designed for restricted spaces
Specifically developed for limited-access areas without compromising on treatment capacity.
Chemical-free
Thermal treatment entirely replaces bleach and biocides, eliminating chemical waste management.
100% electric
Standard 110 V single-phase power; no auxiliary energy source required.
Energy recovery
Integrated preheating and cooling section; no chilled water required, leading to reduced energy consumption.
Fields of application
Research laboratories and biotechnology:
Integrates without major work into BSL1, BSL2, and BSL3 environments.
Healthcare facilities and diagnostic labs:
On-site treatment of effluents from analyzers and clinical units, complying with provincial and federal Canadian biosafety requirements.
Contract manufacturing organizations (CMO/CDMO):
Adapts to frequent changes in protocols and biological product types without modifying central infrastructure.
Containerized labs and emergency deployments:
The ideal partner for mobile diagnostic units and temporary infrastructures deployed during health crises.
Backup solution and operational continuity:
Takes over immediately during planned maintenance or central system failure to prevent downtime.
