Iultrasonic has published an article that argues that the laboratory ultrasonic cleaner is an indispensable tool.
The ultrasonic cleaner is designed to effortlessly clean labware equipment and dissolve, disperse and emulsify samples.
Chemical dust, baked on grease, dirt, oil, pigments and fingerprints, among other typical lab contaminants, can be effectively removed with ultrasonics.
Routine and critical laboratory equipment such as lenses, lab utensils, glass vessels and lab plasticware can benefit from ultrasonic cleaning.
Pharmaceutical labs, in particular, can employ large ultrasonic baths to clean stainless steel, Delrin, and Teflon plastic parts from tablet and capsule manufacturing equipment.
Ultrasonic cleaners are especially effective for removing chemical residues from complex parts with crevices, small openings and joints.
In addition to cleaning validation, ultrasonic cleaners and baths are used by chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories for solvent degassing and sample preparation.
Ultrasonic baths rapidly degas HPLC solvents.
Agglomerated samples are dispersed and difficult to dissolve samples are solubilised in powerful ultrasonic baths.
Accessories for ultrasonic baths include baskets for utensils, beaker covers to position one to two beakers in a tank, Erlenmeyer flask clamps, acid-resistant tank liners, test-tube racks and cooling coils to protect thermally labile samples.
