Introduction
Astell Effluent Decontamination Systems from WolfLabs.
Astell’s Sink9, Micro9 and Combo440 effluent decontamination systems (EDS) provide laboratories with advanced thermal sterilisation solutions for safe, compliant disposal of liquid biohazard waste. Designed for containment settings up to BSL‑3, these systems automate effluent treatment, protecting users and infrastructure.

Features & Benefits:
- Compact Batch Sterilisation – Each system processes up to 250 L per 24 hours, using sequential‑batch sterilisation (run‑standby tank configuration) for continuous workflow and minimal delays.
- Integrated Touchscreen Control – All models feature a 5.7″ colour touchscreen, full programmability, emergency stop and USB data port with options for Ethernet and printer outputs.
- High‑Temperature Performance – Operates at up to 138 °C and 2.4 bar, ensuring complete inactivation of biological agents before effluent discharge.
- Space‑Saving Multi‑Function Combo – The Combo440 model integrates a washbasin, programmable EDS and a 63 L AMA‑440 autoclave in a compact unit for dual-use sterilisation and effluent treatment.
- BSL‑3 Compliance Ready – Systems are suitable for high‑containment labs, with options such as sterile filters and stainless-steel construction available for decontamination of BSL‑3 effluents.

Models breakdown:
Micro9 – Entry-level small-scale EDS; no sink, ideal where space is limited.
