Laboratory Products 35 Ultrasonic cleaning solutions for laboratory applications


The cavitation phenomenon consists of the formation and growth of millions of microscopic bubbles under a low-pressure stage, produced into the ultrasonic bath due to a high power transducer 40kHz. These bubbles break in all directions and attack every surface in contact with water, erasing dirt, impurities and pollutants when contacting with the materials or pieces into the bath. This phenomenon allows cleaning all kind of items without the need of disassembling, due to all the surfaces being in contact with the liquid. The heating function of the unit allows the acceleration of this cleaning process.


Wiggens presents two series of standard ultrasonic cleaners with reliable quality and useful features, which allows the users a wide range of cleaning applications such as lab materials, medical instruments, dental prosthesis, optics, industrial items, jewelleries, also the degasifi cation or liquid dissolution and compact substances disaggregation.


The following are the standard working volumes supplied: 3, 6, 10 and 22 litres, and bespoke volumes can be ordered for different applications. All functions can be viewed and monitored on a large and clear touch screen display. The parameters can be set by screen touching, including the ultrasonic working power (40% to 100%), bath temperature (20°C to 80°C), timer and warning function for safety.


All models are equipped with lids and trays that allow the parts they introduce to be directly cleaned without damaging the transducers and for easy handling.


In addition to the standard ultrasonic cleaners, Wiggens also offers the ultrasonic cleaners with special added functions. The Shaking Ultrasonic Cleaner is a good example, which means that the sample can be pre-homogenised at a specifi c shaking speed, and then fi nal homogenisation can be achieved in a very short time, using ultrasonic power These two procedures can be carried out simultaneously or separately. Another added function is an ultrasonic cleaner with cooling for use in pathology and analysis labs, where the temperature of bath can be maintained at 10°C to 40°C even with the ultrasonic power generating heat continuously.

Avoiding autoclave choice overload


With so many excellent options available, choosing the right autoclave can feel overwhelming. Priorclave’s standard range includes over seventy different models, with virtually unlimited customisation options to suit specifi c needs. Fortunately, most autoclaves can be grouped into four main types: benchtop, top loading, front loading, and pass-through.


Benchtop autoclaves are compact, self-contained units designed to sit directly on a lab bench. They are easy to install, requiring only a suitable power connection, and are ideal for small labs with limited space or modest sterilisation needs. Top-loading autoclaves save space as well and are better suited for taller items such as fermenters and large Erlenmeyer fl asks. Due to the need to lift loads vertically, a hoist is available and highly recommended to ease handling.


Front-loading autoclaves are larger, designed to handle heavier workloads, and come with either cylindrical or rectangular chambers. Cylindrical chambers are naturally resistant to pressure and require less structural reinforcement, making them more cost-effective and easier to maintain. Rectangular chambers require stronger reinforcement because of their fl at surfaces, which adds weight and cost but makes them preferred for heavy-duty, high-capacity sterilisation.


Pass-through autoclaves are ideal for sealed laboratory environments, featuring double doors with interlocks to prevent contamination and maintain sterile conditions. These are increasingly popular as cleanroom usage expands in biomedical research, semiconductor fabrication, and other industries.


In addition to these standard models, Priorclave offers custom-built autoclaves designed for optimal ergonomic fi t and performance. This bespoke approach allows unnecessary features to be omitted, reducing costs without sacrifi cing quality.


All Priorclave autoclaves feature Biomaster™, an antimicrobial silver nano-technology incorporated into epoxy-coated surfaces to provide lifelong protection against bacteria and fungi, including MRSA. This coating supports hygiene between cleaning cycles and reduces cross-contamination risks.


Each autoclave is equipped with the Tactrol 3 programmable control system, allowing users to set precise cycles with a single button press - even when gloved. Features like Delayed Start and Media Warming are especially useful for overnight preparation of growth media without degradation.

64741pr@reply-direct.com Advancing sustainable temperature control with natural refrigerants


Lauda Dr R. Wobser GmbH & Co continues to set new benchmarks in sustainable and innovative temperature control technology with the launch of the Integral IN 2040 XTW process thermostat. As the fi rst Lauda process thermostat to utilise CO2 as a natural refrigerant, this development marks a signifi cant milestone, reinforcing the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility and future-ready solutions. This advancement expands Lauda’s portfolio of precise temperature control systems, incorporating eco-friendly refrigerants like carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons as alternatives to conventional F-gases.


Approximately 95% of the CO2


To address this, Lauda prioritises energy effi ciency and reduced CO2 compressors, and natural refrigerants.


emissions generated over the lifespan of constant temperature equipment come from ongoing operation. emissions by integrating electronic cooling controls, speed-controlled


In response to the European F-Gas Regulation and advancements in refrigeration technology, Lauda has been progressively transitioning its devices and industrial systems to natural refrigerants. Depending on application requirements, location, and target temperature, Lauda offers solutions featuring carbon dioxide (R744), propane (R290), and ethane (R170).


“The switch to sustainable refrigerants not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards but also underscores our dedication to environmentally friendly temperature control technology,” said Dr Marc Stricker, Managing Director of Lauda.


The Integral XT series operates using a cold oil blanket and dynamic temperature control, making it ideal for precise applications across a broad temperature range. The Integral IN 2040 XTW introduces CO2


global warming potential (GWP) of just 1 - signifi cantly lower than traditional F-gases.


With an impressive -45 to 200°C temperature range and 20.8 kW cooling output at 20°C, this advanced model combines Lauda’s proven technology with next-generation cooling effi ciency. A frequency-controlled compressor enhances energy effi ciency, reducing consumption by up to 50% compared to F-gas models, while also lowering noise levels for improved workplace comfort.


Additionally, the Integral IN 2040 XTW is retrofi ttable with interface modules for fl exible process control integration and can be managed via internal LAN on a PC or tablet. This breakthrough in temperature control technology exemplifi es Lauda’s commitment to innovation, effi ciency, and sustainability.
