Xinuo BILON70-1400C Dual-Frequency Heated Ultrasonic Cleaner

Overview

The Xinuo BILON70-1400C is a floor-standing dual-frequency heated ultrasonic cleaner engineered for high-reproducibility cleaning, extraction, emulsification, particle dispersion, and accelerated dissolution in research laboratories, pharmaceutical QC facilities, and precision manufacturing environments. It operates on the principle of acoustic cavitation—where alternating high- and low-pressure cycles generated by piezoelectric transducers induce microbubble formation and collapse within the cleaning medium. The dual-frequency capability (25 kHz and 50 kHz) enables selective optimization: lower frequency delivers higher cavitation intensity for robust particulate removal from heavily soiled or irregularly shaped components (e.g., glassware, metal parts, filtration membranes), while higher frequency provides finer, more uniform energy distribution suitable for delicate substrates such as optical lenses, semiconductor wafers, or biological sample holders. Integrated heating (ambient to 80 °C) enhances solvent activity and reduces surface tension, improving penetration into narrow geometries and accelerating contaminant solubilization—particularly critical when using aqueous or mild alkaline cleaning solutions compliant with ISO 13485 and ASTM D2603.

Key Features

• Dual-switchable ultrasonic frequencies (25 kHz / 50 kHz) with independent power regulation across the full 70–1400 W range
• Precise digital temperature control (±1 °C accuracy) over ambient to 80 °C, with real-time display and auto-cut-off safety logic
• Microprocessor-based timer (1 s to 99 min 59 s) with memory retention for repeatable process validation
• Robust 304 stainless steel tank (600 × 400 × 300 mm) and reinforced chassis designed for continuous-duty operation in GLP/GMP-aligned workflows
• Integrated sound-dampening lid with safety interlock to suppress airborne noise (<65 dB(A) at 1 m) and prevent solvent evaporation
• Full accessory suite: removable stainless-steel mesh basket, bottom-mounted drain valve with PTFE-sealed fitting, and lockable castor wheels for stable repositioning

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The BILON70-1400C accommodates a broad spectrum of laboratory vessels—including volumetric flasks (up to 2 L), graduated cylinders, NMR tubes, chromatography columns, pipette tips, and reusable glassware sets—without requiring custom fixtures. Its 70 L capacity supports batch processing of multiple items simultaneously under consistent acoustic field conditions. All wetted surfaces are electropolished 304 stainless steel, ensuring resistance to corrosion from common cleaning agents (e.g., sodium hydroxide solutions up to 5%, citric acid ≤10%, and ethanol/water mixtures). The unit complies with IEC 61000-6-3 (EMC emission limits) and IEC 61000-6-2 (immunity requirements), and its thermal and timing controls support audit-ready documentation per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 when paired with validated external data logging systems.

Software & Data Management

While the BILON70-1400C operates via an embedded single-chip controller (no PC interface), all operational parameters—including frequency selection, power level, set temperature, and elapsed time—are digitally displayed and retained in non-volatile memory after power cycling. This ensures procedural consistency across shifts and facilitates manual logbook entry for internal SOP adherence. For laboratories requiring electronic records, optional RS-232 or analog 4–20 mA output modules (sold separately) enable integration with SCADA platforms or LIMS for timestamped event capture (e.g., start/stop, temperature deviation alerts, timeout completion). All firmware revisions undergo functional verification against ISO/IEC 17025 calibration traceability protocols.

Applications

• Routine decontamination of HPLC vials, syringe filters, and autosampler trays prior to trace-level analysis
• Removal of organic residues (e.g., lipids, polymers, photoresists) from silicon wafers and MEMS devices
• Extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from botanical matrices under controlled thermal-acoustic conditions
• Disaggregation of aggregated protein samples in buffer solutions without denaturation
• Pre-cleaning of electron microscopy grids and TEM specimen holders to minimize carbon contamination
• Validation of cleaning efficacy per USP <1051> and ISO 15883-1 for reusable medical device reprocessing workflows

FAQ

Is the heating system independently controllable from ultrasonic activation?
Yes. Temperature and ultrasonic output can be operated separately or concurrently, allowing for pre-heating cycles or post-sonication hold phases.
What is the maximum permissible liquid depth for optimal cavitation efficiency?
For uniform energy distribution, maintain liquid level between 20 mm below the tank rim and ≥50 mm above the transducer array (i.e., minimum fill volume ≈ 42 L).
Can this unit be used with flammable solvents such as acetone or IPA?
No. The BILON70-1400C is rated for aqueous and non-flammable cleaning media only. Use in explosion-proof environments requires third-party hazardous-area certification not provided by default.
Does the timer retain settings during brief power interruptions?
Yes. All user-defined parameters are stored in EEPROM and restored automatically upon power resumption.
Are replacement transducers and control boards available through authorized service channels?
Yes. Xinuo maintains a 5-year spare parts inventory for BILON-series cleaners, with technical documentation and firmware updates accessible to certified service partners.
