EURPING Q950D Laboratory Bottle Washer

Overview

The EURPING Q950D is a fully automated, high-capacity laboratory bottle washer engineered for precision cleaning, thermal disinfection, and HEPA-filtered drying of glassware and plastic labware in regulated research, quality control, and GMP-compliant environments. Based on closed-loop recirculating spray-jet technology, the system delivers reproducible, validated cleaning performance across heterogeneous loads—including volumetric flasks (2–250 mL), pipettes, test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, graduated cylinders, wide-mouth bottles, and narrow-neck HPLC vials. Its monolithic, weld-free stainless-steel chamber (317 L) eliminates microbial harborage points and supports simultaneous three-tier washing—ensuring uniform exposure to heated detergent solution, rinse water, and thermally stabilized drying air. Designed for integration into ISO 13485, GLP, and FDA-regulated workflows, the Q950D meets core requirements for traceability, audit readiness, and process consistency in pharmaceutical, clinical, and analytical laboratories.

Key Features

• Monolithic, seamless 317 L chamber fabricated from electropolished 316L stainless steel—no internal welds or crevices to retain residues or biofilm
• Dual independent HEPA-filtered compression dryers delivering ≥220 m³/h total airflow at vacuum pressure up to 110 mbar, with adjustable drying temperature (room temp to 120 °C) and duration (0–300 min)
• Intelligent FL-EXCH modular rack system: half-rack interchangeability enables rapid reconfiguration for diverse vessel geometries; rack presence and orientation are auto-recognized via embedded sensors
• Back-fed hydraulic architecture with dual 6 kg detergent reservoirs (acidic + alkaline), precision dosing pumps, and EU-W water-saving condensation technology that recovers and cools steam pre-cycle termination
• 7-inch industrial touchscreen HMI with microprocessor-based controller; stores 30 pre-validated wash programs and 120 user-defined protocols with full parameter logging (temperature, pressure, flow rate, stage duration)
• Comprehensive safety suite: EULA motorized door lock with temperature-dependent interlock (configurable unlock threshold, e.g., ≤50 °C), real-time leak detection, multi-stage overheat protection (heater, blower, pump, duct), and automatic restart after water supply recovery

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The Q950D accommodates standard laboratory containers including but not limited to: 720 × 2 mL HPLC vials per cycle; 360 × 25 mL volumetric flasks; 192 × 100 mL volumetric flasks; and full racks of serological pipettes, conical flasks (up to 2 L), and borosilicate glassware with internal diameters ≥8 mm. All wash cycles comply with ASTM E2582–22 (Standard Practice for Validation of Cleaning Processes for Reusable Medical Devices) principles and support development of IQ/OQ/PQ documentation. The system’s data integrity architecture conforms to ALCOA+ criteria—electronic records include time-stamped, immutable logs of all critical parameters, operator ID, program selection, and alarm events—enabling compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 when deployed with appropriate access controls and electronic signature configuration.

Software & Data Management

The embedded control firmware supports export of complete cycle reports in CSV and PDF formats via USB or optional Ethernet interface. Audit trails capture every interaction—including program edits, parameter overrides, door openings, and fault resets—with user attribution and timestamping. Cycle data is structured for direct import into LIMS or ELN platforms. Optional software modules provide remote monitoring, email/SMS alerts on cycle completion or fault conditions, and trend analysis of detergent consumption, energy use, and thermal profiles across batches—supporting continuous process verification per ICH Q5 and Q9 guidelines.

Applications

• Preparation of trace-metal-free glassware for ICP-MS and AAS analysis
• Removal of protein, lipid, and polymer residues from biopharma process equipment and QC sample vessels
• Routine decontamination of cytotoxic drug handling tools in oncology labs
• Validation-grade cleaning of reusable chromatography vials and autosampler trays
• High-throughput cleaning of cell culture flasks and microbiological media bottles under ISO 5 cleanroom conditions

FAQ

Does the Q950D support validation documentation for GMP environments?
Yes—the system generates full electronic batch records meeting ALCOA+ principles and supports IQ/OQ/PQ protocol execution with third-party validation partners.
Can the washer handle both acidic and alkaline detergents in a single cycle?
No—detergent types must be segregated; dual independent 6 kg reservoirs allow rapid switching between acidic and alkaline chemistries without cross-contamination.
Is the drying system suitable for moisture-sensitive instruments like quartz cuvettes or optical components?
Yes—HEPA-filtered, low-turbulence hot air delivery minimizes particulate deposition; temperature and duration are fully programmable to avoid thermal stress on sensitive substrates.
What is the maximum allowable load height for tall glassware such as 2 L volumetric flasks?
The chamber accommodates vessels up to 450 mm in height when placed vertically in designated tall-rack configurations.
How does the EU-W condensation technology reduce water consumption?
EU-W captures and condenses vapor during the final rinse phase, recovering >85% of latent heat and reducing cooling water demand by up to 40% versus conventional open-loop systems.
