Spotlight Ovens, Incubators & Sterilising Equipment New Ultrasonic Bath Range


Grant Instruments has unveiled an advanced range of high quality, robust, fully featured digital and analogue ultrasonic benchtop baths. The baths are designed to meet the growing need for reliable ultrasonic cleaning in laboratories and across pharmaceutical, medical, healthcare and industrial applications.


The new range consists of five digital ultrasonic baths (XUB range), ranging in size from 4.5 to 25 litre working capacity versions, and two analogue ultrasonic baths (XUBA range), available in 1.5 and 2.5 litre working capacity versions. Offering exceptional value-for- money, all the baths come supplied with stainless steel baskets, ergonomic plastic (ABS) lids and M2 detergent solution and offer a 2-year warranty as standard.


The XUB digital range boasts many new features including frequency LEAP technology, which significantly improves ultrasonic cleaning results by reducing dead spots and standing waves throughout the tank. Using advanced software and ultrasonic generators, the XUB baths use frequency LEAP technology to create a pseudo-random leaping action between a wider frequency range.


This delivers improved cleaning results when compared with frequency sweep technology, for example, as it delivers more homogenous cavitational activity throughout the tank. The XUB digital baths are also fitted with an integral SD port, which provides digital validation and traceability of every ultrasonic cycle.


Grant’s XUBA analogue range is designed for use in environments where only small items are to be processed and complex controls are not required, for example, in medical and healthcare surgeries, tattooists and chiropodists.


The Grant XUB and XUBA ultrasonic baths complement Grant’s Aqua Plus family of unstirred, shaking and boiling water baths and its Optima™ series of stirred thermostatic baths and heating circulators and form part of Grant’s comprehensive range of scientific products.

Double Ended Clean Room Oven To A Customised Design


When a leading manufacturer of highly innovative stainless steel arterial stents came to Carbolite to buy a clean room oven, they required something rather different from the standard design.


Although only required to reach a maximum of 400°C and to operate in a relatively conservative class 10,000 clean room environment, some of the other vital statistics were considerably more rigorous. A chamber nearly a metre and a half deep needed heating with an accuracy of better than ±1°C and a uniformity better than ±5°C. This was achieved using a fully programmable controller tracked by three slave controllers to provide 4 zone temperature control within the oven chamber.


A specially designed load management system carried the stents for heat treatment on mandrels and was designed so that it could be rolled straight from a trolley into the chamber. Untreated product could be loaded into one end of the chamber and unloaded into the clean room through the door at the opposite end.

New Flexibility for Laboratory Heating Systems


Two new configurations for the successful DrySyn system of laboratory heating blocks add even more flexibility for the pharmaceutical or process chemist and provide economical synthetic chemistry solutions for the teaching laboratory. The DrySyn Multi M and Multi S each provide a compact reaction station for up to three standard round bottomed flasks, with maximum volumes of 250ml and 500ml respectively. Any flask size down to 5ml can be used in both models with the appropriate inserts. Both models can also accommodate up to 12 vials or tubes.


Used with a standard hotplate stirrer, these blocks conveniently replace dangerous oil baths in the chemistry laboratory, and can heat a reaction flask 25% faster than an oil bath. DrySyn heating blocks offer excellent heating performance up to 300ºC, a small footprint and exceptional reaction visibility, and are fully compatible with magnetic stirring. The ingenious 3-way Multi Clamps make it quick and easy to secure flasks in place. An additional economy is that existing DrySyn Multi users can use their DrySyn inserts in the Multi M and Multi S – they are directly compatible. DrySyn blocks are made of chemically resistant, 100% recyclable aluminium.


DrySyn heating blocks also offer an excellent alternative to heating mantles, which cannot only be a potential fire hazard with flammable solvents but, because a different unit must be used for each flask size, are considerably more expensive. DrySyn’s combination of safety and economy has made the concept particularly popular in teaching laboratories, where a single unit can provide heating facilities for several students.

The project has deployed the Rhino 3D software programmes and is a successful world-first in bringing infrared technology and ‘heat work’ design straight to the viewer and specifier. Founder and Managing Director Frank Wilson, said: “Not only will the sales appeal of our products be enhanced, it will also be much easier to envisage the specifying and engineering of components and how to order them. Any manufacturer with infrared heating systems to design and make can now simply go online and map the Ceramicx 3D image into their processing systems in order to evaluate if it will be fit for purpose. The consistency of product design and the increased level of detail on the Ceramicx website will further enhance the application characteristics of the infrared emitters. The quartz medium wave radiation characteristics can also be further defined and understood.”


Ceramicx customers are now able to ‘tour’ a variety of products in three dimensions – while accessing a variety of data in digital form. Earlier this year, Ceramicx installed new systems of quality assurance and product traceability, which the new 3D capabilities will complement.


Part of the customer benefits of purchasing Ceramicx products online will include sets of fully scaled and specified drawings that the customer will then be able to use and manipulate in three dimensions on their own CAD systems. The new 3D control will further enable Ceramicx to provide a fuller and bespoke service in regard to infrared specialist heater design.


Ceramicx are also preparing for future needs of parametric design. Customers will be asked for specific information and the design and drawings of ovens and platen systems for thermoforming machines and production will be entirely produced on-line.
