Laboratory equipment (LG)
Wide-necked labware, e. g., beakers,
wide-necked Erlenmeyer flasks and
Petri dishes, or cylindrical items, e. g.,
test tubes, can be cleaned inside and
out by the rotating spray arms. For
proper cleaning, load these items in
whole, half or quarter inserts and place
them in an empty lower basket or upper
basket with spray arm.
For narrow-necked equipment, e. g.,
narrow-necked Erlenmeyer flasks,
round-bottomed flasks, measuring
cylinders and pipettes, you will need to
use injector baskets.
This section only covers basic
information on how to prepare and load
labware.
How to load the machine
Prepare items before loading
^
Empty all glassware before loading
into the machine. Comply with all
applicable infection-control
regulations.
,
Ensure that no acid or solvent
residues, especially hydrochloric

Remove all agar residue from Petri
dishes.
^
Remove all blood residue and clots
from test tubes.
^
Remove all stoppers, corks, labels,
sealing wax residue, etc.
^
Small parts, such as stoppers and
plugs, should be secured in suitable
mesh baskets/inserts.
Please note:
^
Petri dishes and similar items should
be loaded in a suitable insert with the
soiled side facing the long centre
axis.
^
Load pipettes with the tip facing
down.
^
Quarter baskets should be loaded at
least 3 cm away from the edge of the
basket.
