Glassware clean enough to trust the next result
A film you cannot see is a variable you cannot control. Ultrasonic cleaning strips residues from glassware, frits and fittings without abrasion — and the same tank degasses solvents and disperses samples.
Three lab jobs, one bench machine
Pipettes, flasks, condensers, joints and frits — residue films and baked deposits removed without brushes that scratch graduations and wear ground joints.
Valves, fittings, filters, small mechanical parts from rigs and instruments — cleaned to assembly standard between runs.
Degas mode purges dissolved gases from solvents and buffers (HPLC mobile phases, dissolution media); short bursts disperse and dissolve stubborn samples.
What goes in the basket
Why labs standardise on it
Removes the invisible variable
Trace films from previous work are cross-contamination waiting to publish. Cavitation plus the right detergent removes them to a rinse-water-clean endpoint.
Gentle on the expensive stuff
No brush scratching on graduated, ground or optical surfaces — the non-contact clean is why labs trust it with the glassware that costs real money.
Two instruments in one
The cleaning tank doubles as the degasser and sample-prep bath — bench space and budget both approve.

Best ultrasonic cleaner for a laboratory: the shortlist
Bench-side or wash-up room, by throughput.
Daily glassware, small fittings and solvent degassing beside the bench.
Batch glassware and apparatus in the full-width basket.
SS316 tanks, stored recipes and the duty cycle for dedicated critical cleaning at higher throughput.
Run a laboratory glassware detergent at 40–60 °C with a DI-water final rinse, and degas a fresh fill for five minutes. Read how to choose the best industrial ultrasonic cleaner.
