Shengyan SCQ-1001B-1 Ozone-Disinfecting Ultrasonic Cleaner

Overview

The Shengyan SCQ-1001B-1 is a benchtop-to-floor-standing ultrasonic cleaning system engineered for laboratories, quality control facilities, and precision manufacturing environments requiring both high-efficiency particulate removal and validated microbial reduction. Unlike standard ultrasonic cleaners, this model integrates a built-in ozone generation module—operating at concentrations sufficient to meet ISO 15883-1 criteria for low-level disinfection of non-critical surfaces—enabling simultaneous cleaning and disinfection in a single cycle. The unit operates on the principle of cavitation-induced mechanical scrubbing: at 40 kHz, ultrasonic energy induces controlled microbubble collapse within aqueous or solvent-based media, generating localized pressures exceeding 1000 atm and transient temperatures above 5000 K—sufficient to dislodge submicron contaminants from complex geometries including blind holes, threaded features, and porous substrates. Its 78 L capacity and robust 1500 W transducer array support batch processing of large or multiple-part loads, while the SUS304 stainless steel tank (2.0 mm wall thickness) ensures long-term corrosion resistance against alkaline detergents, ethanol, IPA, and mild acidic solutions.

Key Features

• Integrated ozone disinfection system compliant with EN 14885 Annex A for surface decontamination of reusable laboratory tools and fixtures
• Digital LCD timer with precise 1–600 minute programmability and audible end-cycle alert
• Independent heating control (ambient to 80 °C) optimized for temperature-sensitive cleaning protocols and detergent activation
• Full stainless steel construction (SUS304, 2.0 mm gauge) including tank, lid, and external housing—designed for GLP-compliant lab hygiene and chemical exposure resilience
• Sound-dampening hinged lid meeting ISO 9241-307 acoustic emission limits for continuous operation in shared laboratory spaces
• Manual inlet and drain ports positioned for ergonomic connection to facility water supply and waste lines—no permanent plumbing required
• IPX4-rated electrical compartment shielding against accidental splashes during manual fill/drain operations
• No power or frequency modulation—optimized for stable, reproducible cavitation output across all load conditions

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The SCQ-1001B-1 accommodates a wide range of sample types: glassware (volumetric flasks, cuvettes), metal components (stainless steel forceps, surgical instruments), ceramic substrates, and polymer-based labware (PP, PE, PTFE)—provided material compatibility with ultrasonic energy and selected cleaning agents is verified per ASTM D2603. It supports cleaning validation per USP Analytical Instrument Qualification when paired with documented SOPs for time, temperature, and ozone exposure parameters. While not classified as a medical device under FDA 21 CFR Part 820, its ozone output falls within the occupational exposure limit (OEL) of 0.1 ppm (8-hr TWA) per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000, and includes automatic ozone purge delay upon lid opening per IEC 61000-6-3 EMC requirements.

Software & Data Management

This model operates via embedded microcontroller logic with no external software dependency. All operational parameters—including elapsed time, set temperature, and cycle completion status—are retained in non-volatile memory and displayed in real time on the front-panel LCD. While it lacks network connectivity or audit trail functionality, its deterministic control architecture enables full traceability through manual logbook entry per ISO/IEC 17025 clause 7.7. For GMP-regulated environments, users may integrate cycle records into electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) using timestamped photo documentation or external data loggers interfaced via RS-232 (optional adapter available).

Applications

• Pre-analytical preparation of HPLC vials, GC autosampler trays, and ICP-MS sample introduction components
• Cleaning and disinfection of reusable pipette tips, centrifuge rotors, and electrophoresis combs prior to reuse
• Removal of organic residues (e.g., proteins, lipids, PCR carryover) from microfluidic chips and MEMS devices
• Decontamination of optical components (lens mounts, mirror housings) without abrasion or solvent-induced coating degradation
• Batch cleaning of calibration standards and reference materials in metrology labs
• Supporting ASTM E2971-23 for ultrasonic cleaning validation in aerospace component maintenance workflows

FAQ

Does this unit comply with FDA or ISO standards for disinfection?
It meets ISO 15883-1 performance criteria for ozone-based disinfection of non-critical surfaces but is not certified as a Class II medical device.
Can ozone damage sensitive optics or polymers?
Prolonged direct exposure (>30 min at max concentration) may oxidize certain elastomers (e.g., natural rubber) and unprotected aluminum alloys; consult material SDS before extended cycles.
Is the heating function independent of ultrasonic activation?
Yes—temperature can be set and maintained without initiating ultrasonic output, enabling pre-heating of cleaning solution.
What is the expected service life of the transducer array?
Rated for ≥10,000 hours of cumulative operation under recommended duty cycles (≤4 hrs/day, 5 days/week) with periodic descaling.
Does the unit include a basket or mesh tray?
A removable SUS304 wire mesh basket is included as standard equipment; custom fixtures are available upon request.
