Overview
The Titan SUC-20H Heated Multifunctional Ultrasonic Cleaner is an engineered solution for routine and precision cleaning tasks in academic laboratories, quality control environments, and small-to-mid-scale manufacturing support labs. It operates on the principle of ultrasonic cavitation—where high-frequency acoustic energy (37 kHz) induces controlled microbubble formation and implosion within a liquid medium, generating localized shear forces that dislodge particulate contaminants, organic residues, and loosely adhered biofilms from submerged surfaces. Unlike benchtop units lacking thermal regulation, the SUC-20H integrates precise thermostatic control (20–60 °C), enhancing cleaning efficacy for temperature-sensitive applications such as solvent-assisted degreasing, pre-analytical sample preparation, and removal of waxy or viscous residues without requiring aggressive chemical agents.
Key Features
- Stable 37 kHz transducer array: Optimized for broad-spectrum contaminant removal across metal, glass, ceramic, and polymer substrates; delivers uniform energy distribution across the 22.5 L tank volume.
- Programmable digital timer (1–99 min): Enables reproducible exposure durations critical for method standardization and inter-lab comparability.
- Thermostatically regulated heating system: Maintains setpoint accuracy within ±2 °C over the full 20–60 °C range; supports accelerated cleaning kinetics while avoiding thermal degradation of delicate components.
- Integrated sound-dampening lid: Reduces airborne noise to <65 dB(A) at 1 m distance—compliant with ISO 11201 for laboratory ambient noise management.
- Convenient fill-and-drain port: Located at the tank base for rapid, spill-free fluid exchange; compatible with standard ½” NPT fittings for connection to lab water supply or waste lines.
- Rugged stainless-steel tank (304 grade): Electro-polished interior surface minimizes residue retention and simplifies validation of cleaning protocols per ISO 15883-5 and ASTM D4296.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The SUC-20H accommodates a wide range of sample geometries—including pipette tips, crucibles, filtration assemblies, optical components, printed circuit boards, and surgical instruments—within its rectangular tank (300 × 240 × 315 mm internal dimensions). Its non-aggressive mechanical action preserves dimensional integrity and surface finish of precision parts. The unit meets CE marking requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EN 61326-1) and low-voltage safety (EN 61010-1). While not certified for sterile processing under ISO 13485, it supports GMP-aligned cleaning validation when used with documented parameters (time, temperature, bath composition) and routine performance verification using aluminum foil erosion tests (per ASTM E1712).
Software & Data Management
The SUC-20H operates via a dedicated front-panel interface with LED display and tactile membrane buttons—designed for glove-compatible operation and resistance to chemical splashes. It does not incorporate embedded software, network connectivity, or data logging capabilities. All operational parameters (temperature setpoint, timer value, power activation) are manually entered and retained only during active use. For laboratories requiring audit trails or electronic records, integration with external environmental monitoring systems (e.g., via relay-triggered signal output) is feasible through optional I/O modules—not included standard. The device supports GLP-compliant documentation when operated within defined SOPs referencing fixed settings and periodic calibration of the PT100 temperature sensor (recommended annually per ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines).
Applications
- Preparation of HPLC vials, GC autosampler trays, and spectrophotometer cuvettes prior to analysis
- Cleaning of electron microscopy grids and TEM specimen holders
- Removal of flux residues from PCBs in electronics R&D
- Decontamination of reusable labware (e.g., volumetric flasks, burettes, syringe filters) between batches
- Supporting ASTM D3415 (cleanliness testing of aerospace components) via standardized immersion cycles
- Assisting USP <797> environmental sampling equipment decontamination in pharmacy compounding facilities
FAQ
Is the ultrasonic power output adjustable?
No—the SUC-20H delivers a fixed 320 W nominal power output at 37 kHz, optimized for consistent cavitation intensity across the tank volume.
Can this unit be used with flammable solvents?
It is not rated for use with flammable liquids; only aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solutions with flash points >60 °C are recommended per EN 61010-1 Clause 6.4.2.
What maintenance is required for long-term reliability?
Monthly inspection of the transducer mounting integrity, quarterly descaling of the heater element using 5% citric acid solution, and annual verification of temperature sensor accuracy using a traceable reference thermometer.
Does the unit include a degassing function?
No dedicated degas cycle is provided; however, initiating operation at 20 °C for 5 minutes before raising temperature achieves effective air removal from aqueous baths.
Is the tank drain valve self-sealing when closed?
Yes—the integrated brass ball valve features EPDM sealing elements and maintains leak-tight integrity up to 0.3 bar static head pressure.
