Glassware washers and dryers are used anywhere that cleaned and sterilized glassware and labware is required.
Washing and rinsing by hand leads to broken glassware, contamination, and delays during essential experiments. This increases potential hazards to workers, jeopardizing studies and worsening overall conditions in the lab. The laboratory glassware washer and dryer has proven crucial for highly functioning and productive laboratories.
From standard-compact and under-counter models to high-capacity floor standing models, there are a variety of dishwashers available to choose from that meet your specific needs. These machines can come equipped with wheels, so they are freestanding and moveable.
Fixed variants can be integrated into a pre-existing dishwashing area, allowing you to choose a model that best suits your needs. Having single door or pass-through openings allows for easy loading and unloading. At the same time, interchangeable racks give you the freedom to load different types of glassware, be it regular or narrow neck.
You can also acquire specialized inserts for pipettes, Petri dishes, culture and test tubes, BOD bottles, and other small instruments. Some key specifications to account for are:
Lab dishwashers are manufactured at significantly higher quality, precision, and durability standards than household dishwashers and are explicitly designed to clean the types of materials found in scientific settings.
Choosing a laboratory glassware washer that fits your needs is very important. Thankfully, you have a wide range of options to choose from, as most companies offer dishwasher models in a wide range of sizes and varying load capacities, including interchangeable racks and integrated drying features.
Many manufacturers, such as Labconco Corporation, also address sustainability by designing glassware washers to operate efficiently.
In addition, many models come with easy-to-use digital interface systems as well. Remember to check that your machine’s washing and drying specifications are strong enough for the chemicals and residues used in your lab.
Lab dishwashers offer a range of accommodations; it just matters what your specific requirements may be. These requirements, and the specifications of each model, should inform your decision.
Whether you’re deciding based on the amount of space you have in the laboratory, which glasswares and equipment or instruments need to be cleaned daily, or how much energy the washer uses, there is a model that will suit you best. Maybe you’re deciding based on all three factors. Keep these specifications in mind, and your decision will be much simpler.
Standard and large capacity lab washers vary in water usage. For example, there’s a big difference between a washer that uses 10 gallons of water to fill and one that takes 20 gallons. A wash program may consist of 5 or 6 fills, so water consumption is an important factor to consider.
Glassware washers are designed to be highly efficient, saving you time, energy, and water.
A lab dishwasher should accommodate every type of glassware you use, now and in the future. That includes beakers, flasks, cylinders and measuring tools, funnels, and bottles, as well as smaller instruments such as pipettes, dishes, microscope slides, tubes, and specialty glass.
Dishwashers can accommodate a variety of racks for specific glassware as well. This includes:
Dishwashers, by design, should meet the rigorous standards of the laboratory. This includes specifications such as:
A central laboratory dishwasher is usually installed in a separate room for joint use between several laboratories. These washers include a great range of features similar to any other model but require a maximum load for total water consumption efficiency.
The centralized washer allows that one specific room is designated for glassware washing. Still, it may cause sharing issues between labs, such as keeping track of glassware, dealing with lost items, and scheduling use.
Meanwhile, a point-of-use washer offers those same features without any of the typical problems of a shared machine. The convenience of having your own under-counter or freestanding model is unbeatable and is designed for durability and longevity inside the lab.
Whether you need one at your workstation or wheeled between stations as the day progresses, these point-of-use glassware washers increase productivity and minimize pain points.
