What types of glassware can this unit clean?

This class of glassware washer is designed to clean a wide range of laboratory glassware, including beakers, flasks, pipettes, and test tubes, across its multiple washing levels.

Is thermal disinfection effective for all lab applications?

Thermal disinfection at temperatures up to 95°C is highly effective for reducing microbial loads and is suitable for most laboratory applications requiring high-level hygiene, though specific sterilisation requirements may differ.

How does the built-in water softener benefit cleaning?

A built-in water softener, typically with a salt sensor, optimises cleaning performance by preventing limescale build-up on glassware and within the machine, which can affect efficiency and longevity.

Can I customise washing programs?

Units of this type commonly feature a microprocessor control system that allows for the customisation and storage of multiple washing programs, in addition to pre-set options.

What is the purpose of the RS232 serial port?

The RS232 serial port typically enables data logging of washing cycles, connection to a printer for record-keeping, or interface with a PC for traceability and quality assurance purposes.
