EURPING Q820PC Advanced Laboratory Bottle Washer

Overview

The EURPING Q820PC is a high-capacity, fully programmable laboratory bottle washer engineered for reproducible, traceable, and GxP-compliant cleaning of precision glassware—including volumetric flasks, burettes, pipettes, and reaction vessels—across pharmaceutical QC labs, clinical diagnostics facilities, and academic research environments. It operates on a closed-loop thermally regulated washing cycle that integrates controlled detergent dosing, multi-stage rinse protocols (including final ultra-pure water rinse), and programmable drying phases. The system employs a validated spray-arm architecture with pressure-stabilized nozzles to ensure uniform impingement force across all rack positions, minimizing residual contamination and enabling consistent removal of organic, inorganic, and particulate residues per ISO 15883-1 and ASTM E2553 guidelines.

Key Features

• Corrosion-resistant chamber constructed from medical-grade 316L stainless steel, certified for repeated exposure to alkaline detergents, acidic rinses, and thermal cycling up to 95°C.
• Seamless pressed inner cavity (≥220 L volume) eliminates crevices and weld seams where biofilm or residue accumulation may occur—supporting ALCOA+ data integrity principles.
• Dual-tier rack configuration enables concurrent processing of ≥250 mL Class A volumetric flasks on both upper and lower levels without cross-contamination risk.
• 7-inch industrial-grade touchscreen interface with anti-glare coating and glove-compatible operation; firmware supports multilingual UI (English, German, Spanish, Chinese).
• Three-level user permission framework (Operator / Supervisor / Administrator) enforced via biometric fingerprint authentication—aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic signatures.
• Integrated SD card module records full audit trail including user ID, timestamp, program selection, temperature/pressure profiles, door open/close events, and alarm history—retained for ≥12 months.
• “Black Box” event logging captures real-time deviations (e.g., temperature drop >2°C during wash phase, pump stall, low-detergent alert) with millisecond-resolution timestamps for root cause analysis.
• FL-EXCH modular basket system allows rapid reconfiguration between flask racks, beaker trays, and custom fixtures—validated for load uniformity per EN ISO 15883-4 Annex B.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The Q820PC accommodates standard laboratory glassware up to 1000 mL capacity, including borosilicate 3.3 and fused silica vessels. It supports cleaning validation per USP Analytical Instrument Qualification and satisfies prerequisite conditions for ASTM D4169 performance testing. All wetted components comply with EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 for materials in contact with pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs. The system meets CE marking requirements under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU. Optional IQ/OQ documentation packages are available for GMP-regulated installations.

Software & Data Management

Firmware version 4.2.x includes embedded CSV export functionality for audit logs and cycle reports. Data output conforms to ASTM E2891-22 structured metadata schema, enabling direct ingestion into LIMS platforms (e.g., LabWare, Thermo Fisher SampleManager). Remote monitoring is supported via Ethernet TCP/IP interface with Modbus RTU compatibility. All software updates undergo regression testing against IEC 62304 Class B medical device software standards. Electronic records retain digital signatures and checksum verification to prevent tampering.

Applications

• Preparation of trace-metal-free sample containers for ICP-MS and AA spectroscopy.
• Routine cleaning of volumetric flasks and transfer pipettes in pharmacopeial assay workflows (USP , EP 2.2.47).
• Decontamination of reusable cell culture flasks and bioreactor accessories in GLP-compliant toxicology studies.
• Removal of polymer residues from HPLC vials and autosampler inserts prior to quantitative analysis.
• Validation support for cleaning process qualification (CPQ) in API manufacturing facilities compliant with ICH Q5A and Q7.

FAQ

Is the Q820PC compatible with automated detergent dispensing systems?
Yes—it features RS-485 and 0–10 V analog interfaces for integration with third-party chemical dosing units supporting EN 13698-1 concentration control.
Can the audit trail be exported in PDF/A-1b format for regulatory submission?
Audit logs are natively exported as time-stamped, digitally signed CSV files; PDF/A conversion is supported via optional EURPING Validation Suite v2.1.
What is the maximum allowable deviation in chamber temperature during a validated wash cycle?
Per internal qualification protocol Q820PC-IQ-003, thermal stability is maintained within ±1.5°C of setpoint throughout the wash phase (90–95°C range) under full-load conditions.
Does the FL-EXCH basket system require recalibration when switching between flask and beaker configurations?
No—mechanical indexing and load-sensing feedback ensure consistent spray coverage regardless of basket type; only physical verification per SOP-CLEAN-012 is required pre-use.
How frequently must the fingerprint database be backed up to maintain 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?
Biometric templates are stored locally in encrypted NAND memory; daily automated backup to external SD card is enabled by default and logged in the audit trail.
