Glassware washers and dryers are used anywhere that cleaned and sterilized glassware and labware is required.

Washing and rinsing by hand leads to broken glassware, contamination, and delays during essential experiments. This increases potential hazards to workers, jeopardizing studies and worsening overall conditions in the lab. The laboratory glassware washer and dryer has proven crucial for highly functioning and productive laboratories.

From standard-compact and under-counter models to high-capacity floor standing models, there are a variety of dishwashers available to choose from that meet your specific needs. These machines can come equipped with wheels, so they are freestanding and moveable. 

Fixed variants can be integrated into a pre-existing dishwashing area, allowing you to choose a model that best suits your needs. Having single door or pass-through openings allows for easy loading and unloading. At the same time, interchangeable racks give you the freedom to load different types of glassware, be it regular or narrow neck. 

You can also acquire specialized inserts for pipettes, Petri dishes, culture and test tubes, BOD bottles, and other small instruments. Some key specifications to account for are:

• Wash cycles and programs: washers developed in recent years often include programmable controls and washer settings. Some are even network-enabled so that you can control them from anywhere in the lab. 
• Water temperature range: Up to 95°C (203°F) is generally required to meet scientific standards. 
• Integrated drying mechanism: such as a high-efficiency particulate air filtration system (HEPA). Hands-off drying helps speed up the overall wash cycle while minimizing the risk of contamination after glassware has been washed and rinsed.

Lab dishwashers are manufactured at significantly higher quality, precision, and durability standards than household dishwashers and are explicitly designed to clean the types of materials found in scientific settings. 

Choosing a laboratory glassware washer that fits your needs is very important. Thankfully, you have a wide range of options to choose from, as most companies offer dishwasher models in a wide range of sizes and varying load capacities, including interchangeable racks and integrated drying features. 

Many manufacturers, such as Labconco Corporation, also address sustainability by designing glassware washers to operate efficiently. 

In addition, many models come with easy-to-use digital interface systems as well. Remember to check that your machine’s washing and drying specifications are strong enough for the chemicals and residues used in your lab.

Lab dishwashers offer a range of accommodations; it just matters what your specific requirements may be. These requirements, and the specifications of each model, should inform your decision. 

Whether you’re deciding based on the amount of space you have in the laboratory, which glasswares and equipment or instruments need to be cleaned daily, or how much energy the washer uses, there is a model that will suit you best. Maybe you’re deciding based on all three factors. Keep these specifications in mind, and your decision will be much simpler.

Operating Lease

This off-balance sheet financing structure provides three options at the end of the term. The lessee has the option to return the equipment to the lessor, renew at a discounted rate, or purchase the instrument for the fair market value. Monthly payments are also 100% tax deductible which yields additional monetary savings.

Sale-Leaseback

If you recently bought equipment, Excedr can offer you cash for your device and convert your purchase into a long-term rental. This is called a sale-leaseback. If you’ve paid for equipment within the last ninety days, we can help you recoup your investment and allow you to make low monthly payments. This also frees up money in your budget rather than tying it down to a fixed asset.
