Manual Cleaning of Laboratory Glassware

Manual deconex® cleaners are designed to deliver excellent cleaning performance at room temperature without mechanical support. They are suitable for soaking baths and ultrasonic cleaning equipment.

These self-acting cleaners are versatile, easy to use and leave no residue when properly rinsed. 

Recommended Product:

Deconex® 15 PF-x
Deconex® 15 PF-x is an alkaline, phosphate-free liquid concentrate for cleaning and decontaminating laboratory glassware. It is highly recommended for research laboratories and analytical laboratories specialising in environmental and water testing. It is also suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food processing facilities.

Best Practice Steps:

1. Use the correct dosage of deconex® 15 PF-x for optimal results.
2. Place used glassware into the cleaning bath as quickly as possible to prevent residue from drying.
3. Ensure glassware is completely covered by the cleaning solution.
4. Close the bath with a lid where possible and follow the recommended exposure time.
5. Rinse thoroughly with drinking water, then rinse again with demineralized water.
6. Allow glassware to dry completely on a drip board or in a drying cabinet.

Automated Cleaning of Laboratory Glassware

Automated deconex® cleaners and neutralising agents are suitable for use with laboratory washers. Automated cleaning processes offer shorter cleaning times by combining higher temperatures with strong mechanical action.

Deconex® automated cleaning products provide optimised formulations for different laboratory applications, helping deliver reproducible results and analytically clean laboratory glassware.

Choose the right solution based on your materials, contamination level and cleaning requirements for consistent, analytically clean results.

Best Practice Steps:

1. Select the right product for your materials and application, whether gentle, standard or high-performance cleaning is required.
2. Choose the correct washer programme and dosage to achieve consistent results.
3. Use the recommended acidic neutraliser after alkaline cleaning to prevent alkaline residue build-up on materials and washers.
4. Use demineralised water for the final rinse where possible.
5. Start the washer only when fully loaded to support cost-effective and sustainable operation.
6. Keep the washer chamber clean by removing detached labels, residue and glass shards.
