Innovation, Quality, Reliability

TLA was established in 1984 by Thomas Ladisch for the purpose of providing engineered solutions for the life sciences industry. To this end many innovative products and systems have been created, a number having been patented.

Early in the 1990’s TLA was a leader in promoting the use of disposable architecture for the production of various pharmaceutical products. TLA created the first Stainless Flexible Tubing Pinch Valve capable of operating with flexible tubing of various elastomers including fabric reinforced tubing. The Quik-Stop® Tubing Pinch Valve has been sold throughout the world for various applications from vaccines through veterinary products.

Always looking for better more efficient ways to operate pharmaceutical processes led to the development of sterile mixers which could be thoroughly cleaned and quickly rebuilt by lab personnel.

Interest in the operation of clean room facilities led to the development of our Magne-Cal™ Low pressure instrumentation. The Magne-Cal™ Panels and accessories were designed to provide a complete engineered solution for the contractor, quality assurance team, and the end user.

TLA is busy working on applications of these new technologies to save energy. The accuracy and reliability of the Magne-Cal™ low pressure instruments have been proven to maintain an accuracy of better then 00.25% over the period of a year. The performance of the Magne-Cal™ Panels results in annual energy savings of greater then 15%.
