Acid Steam Cleaning System: Born for Trace Metal Analysis

Clean labware is crucial for accurate trace metal analysis, but traditional cleaning methods like acid soaking and microwave digestion are time-consuming and leave behind residue.
Introducing the solution you've been waiting for: acid cleaning.

The acid cleaner is also known as Acid Steam/Vapor Cleaning System or Trace Cleaning System. It uses acid vapor to clean the vessels in a sealed chamber. Through a built-in temperature-control heating system, all trace metal contaminants that are soluble in acid can be safely and efficiently removed by acid vapor. The used acid will then be drained from the chamber to prevent the extracted contaminants from being reintroduced to the cleaned vessels.

REAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL(RTC)

ensures the highest purity of acid vapor

Accurate measurement is crucial for precise control.
The Teflon-treated sensor directly monitors the actual acid temperature in real time which ensures an ideal sub-boiling condition.
Traditional cleaners only monitor the heater’s temperature. This results in less accuracy of the measuring, less control of the acid temperature and lower purity of the acid vapor.

ONE-WAY VAPOR TECH(OWV)

ensures no secondary contamination from the waste acid

OWV ensures that the used acid is drained directly from the system so there is no reflux into the acid reservoir risking contamination. In traditional techniques, the waste acid will repeatedly reflux into the acid reservoir and evaporate. As a result, the waste acid constantly contaminates the pure acid. The resulting vapor becomes dirtier and the cleaning efficiency is reduced. Consequently, only ppb-level results
can be achieved even with trace metal grade acid.

The upper opening method and reliable thread seal prevent any acid vapor leaking, and the integrated acid vapor scrubber effectively condenses and neutralizes waste gas, eliminating the need for ventilation system connections.
The freestanding type comes with casters for easy movement and placement in any position. Its compact
design has a footprint of 43 x 60 cm and an operating height of 110 cm. The desktop type can be placed on any laboratory bench with a footprint of 86 x 60 cm.
