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 degasification 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 (20ºC to 80ºC), 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 specific shaking speed, and then final 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 10ºC to 40ºC even with the ultrasonic power generating heat continuously.

Microbiological Safety Cabinets for Gene Therapy Applications
Gene Therapy is a rapidly expanding market within the global biotechnology industry. Using techniques such as CRIPSR, a gene editing technology, the aim is to treat and prevent diseases. By inserting or altering harmful genes in a patient cell, it can reduce the need for surgeries or drugs.
The UK is at the forefront of advancing Gene Therapy technology, innovation hubs such as those in White City, London and Stevenage have spearheaded development.
To carry out experimental work, companies require specialist infrastructure. For example, Biopharma Group installed 10 Premium 212 Microbiological Safety cabinets to a Gene Therapy company based in White City. This is the second company within the emerging hub of innovative life sciences start-ups to install Faster cabinets.
A Microbiological safety cabinet provides product, personnel and environmental protection while handling biological samples (as in tissue culture, biological testing, pathogenic samples).
Ambient air is drawn in from slots at the stainless-steel base of the front opening and it passes under the work surface, from where it’s drawn up and blown into the plenum of the re-circulating and exhaust fan(s).
70% of filtered air is re-circulated (after passing through a H14 HEPA/ULPA filter) into the work chamber and the remaining 30% is exhausted to atmosphere through another filter.
Features to consider when purchasing a Class II cabinet are safety, cost, noise and location. The Premium 212 is one of the most energy efficient cabinets on the market, it is also one of the quietest at 42dB meaning a lab with several cabinets can be a relaxing work area for any kind of experiment.
