Ultrasonic baths thoroughly clean laboratory glassware and syringes, as well as those specimens requiring cleaning prior to microscopic examination
Guyson International - which acquired Kerry Ultrasonics early in 2004 - is now providing manufacturing, sales, support and service from its extensive 10,000 square metre facility in Skipton, UK, for the range of Kerry benchtop ultrasonic cleaning baths. Pulsatron MKC baths can be programmed to maximise the quality and repeatability of results, allowing the user to pre-set exact cleaning times and temperatures, ensuring consistent levels of cleanliness from batch to batch and providing an affordable way to improve cleaning quality in optical, electronics, jewellery, watch repair, medical and dental cleaning applications.
MKCs thoroughly clean laboratory glassware and syringes, as well as those specimens requiring cleaning prior to microscopic examination.
They will also remove residue from the sampling components of analytical equipment.
MKC baths are available in capacities of 6, 14 and 22 litres to suit different workloads, and can be supplied with a Pyrex beaker and beaker holder, allowing it to be used with all solvents.
The beaker containing solvent is suspended in the bath, which should be filled with water and a small amount of wetting agent.
Operating temperatures from 20 to 80C can be set in one-degree increments, allowing the optimum temperature to be selected for a particular combination of component material, cleaning solution and contaminant.
All functions are controlled by a simple four-button membrane keypad. An LCD panel displays the temperature and time set by the user, the time elapsed since the start of the cleaning process, and the status of the power supply, heater and ultrasonics.
Smaller units, Pulsatron KC baths, are also available with two and three litre capacity.
KC baths are particularly easy to use, with a simple on/off switch for the ultrasonics and operating instructions printed on the bath's front panel.
Cleaning of lightly soiled items may take only seconds.
Removal of medium soil may take two or more minutes.
