How to Safely Use a Solvent Cleaner
Avoid Product Damage by Ultrasonic Waves
While properly operated and controlled ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe for a wide range of products, the key criterion being “properly operated.” This is a combination of the cleaning solution composition, bath temperature and the ultrasonic frequency employed. The guiding factor is the items being cleaned and what is being removed.
Heavy Parts Degreasing with Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaners
Heavy parts degreasing engines and other heavy, complex machinery components can be accomplished quickly and effectively by cavitation action in industrial ultrasonic cleaners. This post provides guidance on the benefits of ultrasonic cleaning, how to use an industrial ultrasonic cleaner, and how to get the best performance from your industrial ultrasonic cleaning equipment. But first…. Why…
Digital HPLC Flowmeters – An Overview
What you’ll learn in this digital HPLC flowmeters overview: Flow meters come in many sizes and find application in a wide range of industries. As examples they meter gasoline pumped into your car and fuel oil into your heating system’s tank. But instead of metering in gallons (for example) digital HPLC Flowmeters measure small flow…

Ultrasonic Cleaning with Flammable Solvents
Cleaning with flammable solvents requires extreme caution in any case but ultrasonic cleaning with flammable solvents requires specially designed equipment and procedures. That’s because of the real danger of a fire or explosion if spilled solvent or vapors are ignited by sparks from internal electronics or external sources. This post describes equipment to use and…
How To Maximize Lab Storage Using A Dual-Compressor Refrigerator-Freezer
Using OK-Sonic Bath Monitors for Medical Ultrasonic Cleaner Performance Validation
OK-Sonic Bath Monitors for medical ultrasonic cleaner performance validation strips provide added assurance that your ultrasonic cleaner is doing its job. In its “Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities” the CDC notes “Ultrasonic cleaning removes soil by cavitation and implosion in which waves of acoustic energy are propagated in aqueous solutions to disrupt…
When and How to Specify an Ultra-Low Freezer
At this posting Phase 3 clinical trials are underway for COVID-19 vaccines, some of which call for an ultra-low freezer for storage and transport. Examples described in a September Wall Street Journal article notes the unusually cold storage temperatures – as low as -80⁰C – required. Covid-19 vaccine candidates are one of many applications for…
