With the development of society, more and more laboratories are using bottle washing machines to clean laboratory glassware. The automatic cleaning process provides protection for glass components, experimental equipment, and operators. Automated processing of machines is easier to standardize, validate, and preserve records. Large automatic cleaning machines can process glassware in batches, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of operators. Allowing researchers to have more valuable time to handle other important tasks.
Laboratory Bottle Washing MachineMisconception of cleaning: Strong cleaning ability, pressure, spray and circulation, no need to use cleaning agents, can freely prepare cleaning solutions by oneself.
A well-designed automatic cleaning machine has a powerful circulation pump and carefully designed nozzles, which can evenly and continuously spray cleaning solution onto the surface of the device to remove residues. By utilizing the heat, water's ability to dissolve residues, and spray pressure, it is indeed possible to remove a significant amount of residue. However, due to the high surface tension of water, the cleaning ability of pure water is limited for some small particles and organic compounds that are difficult to dissolve in water. Due to the circulation and spraying of the automatic cleaning machine, ordinary cleaning agents contain surfactants, which will form a large number of foam. On the one hand, these foam will overflow, on the other hand, it may also cause damage to the circulating pump, so the automatic cleaner can only use cleaning agents without foam or low foam. The cleaning agent not only contains alkali or acid, but also various active substances such as chelating agents and chelating agents. Through the synergistic effect of these active substances, it can better dissolve and disperse residues. In addition, the cleaning solution should not only have the cleaning ability to remove residues, but also not damage the surface and pipelines of the equipment. When recommending cleaning agents, equipment manufacturers conduct detailed testing and evaluation to confirm that all conditions are met before they can be used. Self preparation, due to a lack of understanding of the material characteristics of the equipment, can easily lead to equipment damage, which will not be worth the loss. Choosing stable and high-quality cleaning agents can not only maximize the potential of equipment and extend its service life, but also ensure the stability and repeatability of the cleaning process to the greatest extent possible.
