As we all know, in the home life, glassware cleaning is a technical task, it is also the same in the laboratory. The difference between the two is that the cleaning of the glassware outside the laboratory is not only a matter of surface aesthetics; while in the experiment, if the cleanliness of the glassware instruments cannot be guaranteed, it means that the accuracy of the experimental results cannot be guaranteed, and its impact can be difficult to predict.

However, not every experimenter realized this.

A few days ago, a lab boy posted on the Internet that, “In normal days, you can wash glassware instruments clean with a brush alone.”This has led to some discussion.So, is this friend right?

In fact, laboratory people all knows that there are many glasswares in most laboratories, such as: test tubes, pipettes, beakers, flasks, graduated cylinders, colorimetric tubes, volumetric flasks, etc. , Their traits and specific functions are different. But because the experimental operation will inevitably produce various dirt and dirt, it is necessary to clean it before and after use.

Among them, glass instruments that are only used for general experimental analysis, such as beakers, flasks, reagent bottles, etc., can be combined with some lotions, and they can be cleaned directly with a brush (such as test tube brush, beaker brush, etc.). After repeated washing with tap water and distilled water for many times, the inner and outer walls of the vessel are clean and bright when the vessel is turned upside down, and no water droplets are considered as qualified. This type of washing method mainly has a certain effect on removing dust particles and soluble substances.

However, this situation is very rare after all. Most laboratories, including CDCs, pharmaceutical companies, and food and environmental testing institutions, are always had complex and arduous pre-processing tasks, which have higher requirements for the accuracy of experimental results and data traceability. The brunt of glass cleaning is no exception. It seems simple, but it also requires technical content. As a result, measuring glass instruments such as cuvettes, burettes, pipettes, and measuring bottles are often attached to metal elements, proteins, reagents, grease, and residual impurities in such glassware. It is difficult to clean them only with a brush. Otherwise, not only the cleaning effect will be difficult to meet the standard, but also these utensils are easily worn out. Not to mention the gains and losses in water, electricity, manpower, time, and accidents.

Therefore, the view that “glass instruments can be cleaned with a brush” is very one-sided and can only be regarded as a joke. If the personnel concerned really work in the laboratory with such a non-rigorous attitude, firstly, they will not be able to clean the glass equipment to the working standard; secondly, the laboratory will form serious security risks and loopholes.

Of course, it is not difficult for us to imagine that the manual cleaning of glassware is destined to add extra and unnecessary burdens to the laboratory. Therefore, for laboratories that have a strong demand for cleaning glass equipment, it is imperative to seek fast and reliable methods or tools.

Fortunately, the power of technology is powerful. In China, laboratory glassware washing machines have already appeared, and even most common glassware can be washed clean without a brush, clearly!

See quality in the subtleties. As the industry’s leading laboratory cleaning equipment design and manufacturer Hangzhou Xipingzhe Instruments Technology Co.,Ltd has the following outstanding advantages, providing a set of efficient and complete cleaning solutions for laboratory utensils, and there is no residue left in glass instruments ! Specifically include:

①Provide laboratory washer-disinfector products suitable for a variety of laboratory utensils cleaning needs;

②Provide cleaning agents to remove different experimental residues(In domestic only);

③Provide after-sales service of utensil washing machine, such as personnel training, installation and maintenance, and laboratory related standard certification (CE\FDA\GMP, etc.).

It is precisely by virtue of its industry-leading technical strength that Hangzhou Xipingzhe has been unanimously recognized by customers in many industries including national, provincial and municipal testing units, pharmaceutical companies, customs, public security and other industries. Therefore, if the laboratory needs a cost-effective, professional, user-friendly, and automated glassware washing machine, it is enough to look for Hangzhou Xipingzhe. This is the correct way to clean glass instruments.
