Laboratory glassware and utensils
...wide-neck
Wash items with wide necks, such as glass beakers, wide-neck Er-
lenmeyer flasks, and petri dishes, or cylindrical items such as test
tubes, can be cleaned and rinsed inside and out using rotating spray
arms.
To do this, the wash items are positioned in inserts and placed in an
empty mobile unit with a spray arm.
...narrow-neck
Wash items with narrow necks, such as narrow-neck Erlenmeyer
flasks, round flasks, measuring cylinders, and pipettes, require spe-
cial load carriers.
Load carriers are supplied with their own operating instructions.
When loading please note:
- Place petri dishes or similar items in the appropriate insert with the
dirty side facing downward.
- Place pipettes with the pointed end facing downward.
- Arrange inserts at least 1" (3 cm) away from the edge of the load
carrier.
- Position inserts for test tubes in the center above the spray arm to
leave the corners of the load carrier free.
- Use a cover net to avoid breakages if required.
