Categories Related to Instrument Washers
An instrument washer is a machine that automatically cleans a laboratory equipment used in experiments and manufacturing.
In research and development, dirty laboratory equipment can affect the results of experiments, while cleaning the equipment is time-consuming. Instrument washers are therefore used to improve operational efficiency.
In addition, in the food industry and biotechnology industry, it is necessary to carefully sterilize the instruments and equipment used, and the instrument washer is also used at that time.
Instrument Washers Use Steam, Jets of Water, and Detergent to Remove Contaminants.
Instrument washers are equipped with nozzles and spray water to remove stains, while others use hot steam to remove stains. Detergent for cleaning utensils may also be used.
Instrument Washers Are Used in R&D and the Food Industry.
Instrument washers are used to clean equipment in R&D and manufacturing.
In R&D, the type of contamination varies depending on the industry and the reagents used, so the detergent used in instrument washers is changed accordingly.
In the food industry, instrument washers are used to clean the equipment used in manufacturing.
Instrument washers used in the food industry can also use sterilized water and are also used to sterilize instruments.
Instrument washers are also available for cleaning and sterilizing microchips and other instruments frequently used in bio-related experiments.
Instrument Washers clean by rotating the nozzles and racks inside.
Instrument washers are equipped with racks and nozzles. Appropriate racks are selected according to the shape and size of the instruments to be cleaned. As an option, racks dedicated to instruments frequently used in experiments, such as test tubes, are also available.
Equipment washing is performed by spraying water from the nozzle. Water can be sprayed all over by rotating the nozzle or rack. In addition, depending on the model number of the device, it is also possible to fill the inside with high-temperature steam for sterilization.
Wear Protective Gloves When Using Detergents in Instrument Washers; There Are Various Types of Detergents Used in Instrument Washers.
Strong alkaline and acidic detergents can be used to remove adhered organic contaminants.
It is recommended that protective gloves be worn when handling detergents to prevent chemical injury. In the unlikely event that detergent gets into the eyes, the eyes should be rinsed immediately with plenty of running water.
If powdered detergent is used with instrument washers, there is a possibility that the detergent may remain on the instruments.
