Cost-efficient

Use your employees’ valuable time for other tasks

Gently clean up to 60 laboratory glassware items in 24 minutes

A laboratory glassware washer makes workflows in laboratories considerably more efficient. You can clean up to 60 items of laboratory glassware in 24 minutes, which means time savings of up to 59 % compared to manual cleaning. This takes the burden off employees, who can devote themselves to other tasks and work more efficiently. Gentle cleaning also extends the service life of expensive glassware and laboratory utensils, safeguarding your investments.

Safe

Rely on a standardised, reproducible process for analytical purity and protection for your employees

Consistent, analytically clean results

Glitch-free and fast experiments and analyses are a quality feature in any laboratory. Reliably cleaned laboratory glassware is a basic requirement for this. However, it is almost impossible to guarantee consistently good glassware cleaning results with manual cleaning. Only machine-based cleaning with our ExploreLine lab glassware washer gives you consistent, clean results for analytical experiments – in every programme sequence.

Machine-based cleaning to protect your employees

Increase safety in your laboratory for your employees too. A commercial laboratory glassware washer reduces the health risks for employees, thanks to a reduction in the amount of aerosols inhaled, exposure to chemicals and the risk of injury. This reduces levels of sick leave among staff caused by illness and accidents.

Various items of laboratory glassware are sparkling clean and inserted into an EasyLoad module with injector nozzles.

Extend the service life of laboratory glassware

Machine-based cleaning is also safe for your laboratory glassware – firstly, there is less glass breakage and, secondly, the material is protected – ensuring a long service life for your laboratory glassware.

Sustainable

Save valuable resources compared to cleaning laboratory glassware manually – in every wash cycle.

Thanks to harmonised cleaning processes

The programmes, which are precisely tailored to the cleaning processes, enable valuable resources to be saved – compared to manual cleaning, 63 % less water is used and machine-based cleaning ensures up to 150 % more throughput, saving energy and reducing costs in the long term.
