Persee P80 Third-Generation Large-Capacity Laboratory Glassware Washer

Overview

The Persee P80 Third-Generation Large-Capacity Laboratory Glassware Washer is an engineered solution for high-throughput, reproducible cleaning and thermal disinfection of laboratory vessels in regulated environments. Designed around the principles of validated aqueous cleaning—combining controlled temperature, precise chemical dosing, dynamic mechanical action, and real-time process monitoring—the P80 delivers consistent residue removal across diverse vessel geometries, including tall-format glassware up to 730 mm in height. Its 330 L stainless-steel chamber accommodates six standardized wash modules simultaneously, supporting batch processing of volumetric flasks, carboys, bioreactor components, chromatography columns, and other large or complex instrumentation parts. The system operates under thermally stable conditions up to 93 °C, enabling effective organic soil removal and microbial reduction per ISO 15883-1 and EN ISO 15883-4 standards for washer-disinfectors used in pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories.

Key Features

• High-flow circulation system with 1160 L/min pump capacity ensures uniform spray coverage and turbulent impingement across all load positions—even at maximum chamber fill.
• Dual-layer reinforced tempered glass door with integrated LED chamber lighting enables full visual verification of loading, wash cycle progression, and final rinse clarity.
• Intelligent rack recognition technology automatically detects installed wash modules and selects optimized pressure profiles, spray arm rotation speed, and dwell times—eliminating manual program selection errors.
• Real-time conductivity monitoring during final rinse stages triggers adaptive re-wash sequences if measured values exceed user-defined thresholds (e.g., <0.5 µS/cm), ensuring end-point cleanliness validation.
• Continuous spray arm rotational speed and feed line pressure monitoring provide closed-loop feedback to maintain mechanical cleaning efficacy throughout each cycle.
• Automated electric lift door with safety interlock and position-sensing actuators enables hands-free operation while meeting IEC 61000-6-2 electromagnetic compatibility and EN 60335-1 safety requirements.
• GMP-aligned operator authentication via three-tier password hierarchy and optional QR-code scanning supports role-based access control and ALCOA+ data integrity principles.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The P80 accommodates a broad range of laboratory vessels—including borosilicate glass, stainless steel, and autoclavable polymers—without requiring custom fixtures. Its modular rack system supports standard DIN/ISO-compliant labware as well as proprietary equipment components (e.g., filter housings, sampling probes, tubing manifolds). All cleaning cycles are fully traceable: timestamped operational logs—including temperature curves, conductivity readings, pressure events, and user login metadata—are stored locally and exportable via Ethernet to LIMS or electronic quality management systems (eQMS). The washer meets essential requirements for GLP/GMP environments, with built-in features supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance when paired with validated software platforms (e.g., Persee WashTrack™). It conforms to ISO 15883-1:2018 for washer-disinfector performance classification A0 ≥ 600, and supports validation protocols aligned with ASTM E2500-13 and EU Annex 15.

Software & Data Management

The embedded 10-inch capacitive touchscreen runs a deterministic real-time OS with intuitive icon-driven navigation and multilingual UI support (English, German, Spanish, Chinese). Preloaded with 20 validated standard programs—including alkaline wash, acid neutralization, low-residue final rinse, and hot air dry cycles—the interface allows creation and storage of up to 180 user-defined protocols with adjustable parameters (temperature ramp rates, dwell durations, detergent concentration gradients, airflow setpoints). All cycle executions generate immutable digital records compliant with ALCOA+ criteria: attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, accurate, complete, consistent, enduring, and available. Network connectivity enables remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and centralized fleet monitoring via secure HTTPS or TLS-enabled APIs. Optional thermal printer integration provides hard-copy audit trails for QA review and regulatory inspections.

Applications

The P80 serves critical cleaning functions in pharmaceutical QC/QA labs, biotechnology manufacturing suites, central research facilities, and clinical diagnostic centers. Typical use cases include preparation of HPLC/GC sample vials and autosampler trays; decontamination of fermentation reactor parts prior to sterilization; removal of proteinaceous or lipid residues from cell culture flasks and bioprocess sensors; and routine cleaning of volumetric glassware used in USP analytical instrument qualification. Its scalability makes it suitable for both pilot-scale process development and commercial batch release workflows where cleaning validation, repeatability, and documentation rigor are non-negotiable.

FAQ

Does the P80 support automated validation protocol execution?
Yes—when configured with Persee’s WashValidation Suite, the system executes IQ/OQ/PQ scripts with auto-generated reports, including temperature mapping, conductivity decay curves, and pressure stability analysis.
Can the P80 integrate with existing LIMS or MES platforms?
Yes—via standardized RESTful API or OPC UA interfaces, enabling bidirectional data exchange for work order dispatch, cycle status updates, and electronic signature capture.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for the circulation pump and drying fan?
Persee recommends quarterly inspection of pump impellers and bearing assemblies, and semiannual calibration of conductivity and pressure transducers per manufacturer service bulletins.
Is third-party cleaning agent compatibility verified?
The P80 is validated for use with common alkaline and acidic formulations meeting ISO 15883-5 specifications; users must perform compatibility testing for proprietary detergents per ASTM E3062-17 guidelines.
How is cybersecurity addressed in network-connected operation?
All Ethernet communications employ TLS 1.2 encryption, configurable firewall rules, and role-based API token authentication—fully documented in the system’s Security Risk Assessment (SRA) report.
