ShoLyn LynClean-20BE Fully Automatic Bottle Washer

Overview

The ShoLyn LynClean-20BE is a fully automatic, high-pressure spray bottle washer engineered for reproducible, validated cleaning and thermal disinfection of laboratory glassware, plasticware, metal instruments, and ceramic ware. It operates on the principle of controlled high-flow, multi-angle impingement washing—utilizing precisely engineered rotating spray arms with fan-pattern nozzles to deliver uniform detergent and rinse solution coverage across complex geometries including test tubes, conical flasks, volumetric flasks, Petri dishes, and graduated cylinders. Designed for compliance-critical environments, the LynClean-20BE integrates hardware-level safeguards and software-controlled process validation to support GLP, GMP, and ISO 13485-aligned workflows. Its 200 L chamber capacity accommodates up to two standard wash baskets (stackable in dual-layer configuration), enabling batch processing without compromising mechanical action intensity or thermal consistency.

Key Features

• Double-walled, insulated enclosure with GTAW-welded internal piping—minimizes thermal loss and ensures structural integrity under repeated thermal cycling.
• 316L mirror-finish stainless steel interior (8K finish) provides superior corrosion resistance against aggressive alkaline, acidic, and neutral detergents used in residue removal protocols.
• Optimized fluid dynamics: dual rotating spray arms with asymmetric nozzle layout deliver >99.8% surface coverage—even on concave, narrow-neck, or irregularly shaped vessels.
• 10% sloped chamber floor ensures complete drainage within ≤30 seconds post-rinse, eliminating pooling and reducing carryover risk while shortening subsequent drying time by up to 22%.
• Integrated HEPA 14-grade air filtration system delivers particle-free, ISO Class 5-compliant airflow during thermal drying—critical for sterility assurance in QC and R&D labs.
• 7-inch industrial-grade color touchscreen with intuitive icon-based navigation supports ≥40 configurable wash cycles—including dedicated programs for protein residue, endotoxin removal, and trace metal analysis prep.
• Hardware-enforced three-tier permission management (Operator / Supervisor / Administrator) with encrypted login and session timeout—fully compatible with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when paired with audit-trail-enabled software packages.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The LynClean-20BE processes a broad spectrum of labware materials—including borosilicate glass (e.g., Pyrex®, Duran®), polycarbonate, polypropylene, stainless steel surgical tools, and alumina ceramics—without deformation or surface degradation at temperatures up to 93°C. All wash cycles are thermally mapped and validated per ISO 15883-1:2018 (washer-disinfectors for medical devices) and aligned with ASTM E2527-22 (standard guide for cleaning validation in pharmaceutical manufacturing). The system’s built-in data logger records timestamped cycle parameters (temperature profiles, pump pressure, dwell times, detergent conductivity), generating tamper-evident .csv logs exportable via USB for regulatory submission. Optional printer integration enables real-time hard-copy cycle certification compliant with EU Annex 15 and USP <1229>.

Software & Data Management

Embedded firmware supports full-cycle electronic recordkeeping with immutable timestamps, user ID tagging, and event-driven alerts (e.g., low detergent level, filter clogging, door interlock failure). Internal flash memory retains ≥10,000 complete cycle logs with automatic overwrite protection. USB export functionality allows direct transfer to LIMS or ELN platforms; files include raw sensor data, parameter setpoints, and pass/fail status flags per EN ISO 15883-4 Annex B criteria. Optional ShoLyn Connect™ software (v3.2+) adds remote monitoring, predictive maintenance scheduling, and automated report generation for internal QA audits and external inspections (e.g., MHRA, ANVISA, NMPA).

Applications

• Pharmaceutical QC labs: cleaning HPLC vials, autosampler trays, and dissolution apparatus components prior to residual solvent analysis.
• Clinical microbiology: decontamination of culture plates, pipette tips, and specimen transport containers under AAMI ST34-defined thermal disinfection conditions.
• Environmental testing labs: preparation of EPA Method 500/600-series sample bottles to meet low-level contaminant detection thresholds (e.g., <0.1 ppb heavy metals).
• Academic research cores: high-throughput cleaning of CRISPR reagent tubes, electrophoresis combs, and microfluidic device substrates requiring particulate-free surfaces.
• Biotech process development: cleaning single-use bioreactor accessories and chromatography column housings between validation runs.

FAQ

Does the LynClean-20BE comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records and signatures?
Yes—the system supports role-based authentication, audit trail logging, and electronic signature capture when configured with ShoLyn Connect™ software and enabled digital certificate infrastructure.
Can the washer accommodate custom-sized or oversized labware?
Standard basket dimensions are 320 × 260 × 150 mm (W × D × H); optional extended-depth baskets (up to 300 mm height) are available for tall cylinders and filtration funnels.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for the HEPA filter and internal filters?
HEPA 14 filter replacement is required every 12 months or after 2,000 operational hours; the three-stage internal particulate filter (5 µm pre-filter, 1 µm fine filter, activated carbon odor trap) requires cleaning every 50 cycles and replacement every 200 cycles.
Is validation documentation provided with the instrument?
Yes—each unit ships with Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) reports, IQ/OQ templates aligned with ISO 13485, and a Certificate of Conformance to EN 61000-6-2/6-4 EMC standards.
How does the system prevent cross-contamination between batches?
The 10% chamber slope, self-draining piping network, and automated pre-rinse/post-rinse sequences eliminate standing water; all internal wetted surfaces are constructed from electropolished 316L SS with Ra ≤ 0.4 µm surface roughness.
