In 2023 we want to procure four new autoclaves and have them installed and commissioned on site in Rotorua. Each need to be installed in different laboratories and require slightly different requirements. We will need to have the delivery/install of three of the four autoclaves staggered to ensure there is always an autoclave in an operational state for our lab users.

Autoclaves are an important piece of equipment in our laboratory facilities across Scion and without them we would be unable to deliver projects that give value for New Zealanders.

Scion is a Crown Research Institute (CRI), which is a government-owned company that carries out scientific research for the benefit of New Zealand. We specialise in research, science and technology development for forestry, wood and wood-derived materials and other biomaterial sectors.
