Its adaptable design ensures seamless integration into diverse lab workflows.
Key Features
-
Exceptional Cleaning Precision: Utilizes a variable-speed heater pump to dynamically adjust water pressure, delivering high-pressure cleaning for stubborn residues and gentle soaking for thorough coverage of intricate glassware. Advanced spray arm design and a four-stage filtration system ensure spotless, contamination-free results.
-
Flexible High-Capacity Chamber: Processes up to 128 laboratory bottles, 98 pipettes, or 196 vials per cycle, with options for mixed loads (e.g., 98 pipettes with 32 bottles). The EasyLoad system with modular racks simplifies loading, accommodating a wide range of glassware sizes for enhanced productivity.
-
Demineralized Water (AD) Rinsing: Includes a dedicated AD water connection for residue-free final rinses, critical for analytical purity in sensitive experiments. An integrated water softener further enhances rinse quality and protects glassware.
-
Comprehensive Process Monitoring: Tracks wash pressure, spray arm rotation, and optional conductivity levels to ensure consistent performance. Integrated flow meters deliver precise liquid chemical dosing, while WiFi connectivity supports detailed cycle documentation, meeting Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
-
Customizable Programming: Equipped with the M Touch Flex color touchscreen for user-friendly operation, offering 19 pre-installed programs and 10 freely programmable programme slots. Adjustable parameters, such as hold temperature, hold time and additional wash phases, cater to specific cleaning challenges, from light to heavy soiling.
-
Hygienic and Durable Construction: Constructed with stainless steel, featuring laser-welded chamber seams and external heating elements for a hygienic, crevice-free interior. The robust build ensures long-term reliability in demanding lab environments.
-
