ShoLyn LynClean-230SD High-Pressure Spray Bottle Washer

Overview

The ShoLyn LynClean-230SD is a high-performance, fully automated high-pressure spray bottle washer engineered for laboratories requiring reproducible, validated cleaning and thermal disinfection of reusable glassware, plasticware, metal components, and ceramic vessels. It operates on the principle of controlled high-flow, high-impact spray dynamics—delivered via dual rotating spray arms with asymmetric fan-pattern nozzles—to ensure complete surface coverage across heterogeneous geometries including test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks, volumetric flasks, Petri dishes, and graduated cylinders. The system integrates precise temperature control (ambient to 93 °C), programmable multi-stage wash cycles, and thermally assisted drying using HEPA-filtered air, enabling consistent removal of organic residues, particulates, and microbiological contaminants. Its architecture supports routine validation protocols and aligns with core expectations for equipment used in regulated environments—including pharmaceutical QC labs, clinical diagnostics, and contract research organizations.

Key Features

• Front-loading, downward-pulling door with integrated observation window and LED illumination for real-time process monitoring without interrupting operation.
• Dual-layer removable thermal-acoustic insulation shell minimizes heat loss and external surface temperature rise, improving energy efficiency and operator safety.
• Chamber constructed from electropolished 316L stainless steel (8K mirror finish) for superior corrosion resistance against aggressive alkaline, acidic, and neutral detergents; exterior housing fabricated from 304 stainless steel.
• Optimized fluid dynamics: upper and lower rotating spray arms equipped with non-symmetrical fan nozzles deliver uniform impingement pressure across complex vessel topographies and stacked rack configurations.
• Triple-stage internal filtration system prevents debris recirculation and safeguards pump integrity—reducing maintenance frequency and eliminating secondary contamination risks.
• 10% sloped chamber floor ensures complete drainage after each rinse phase, minimizing residual water retention and accelerating subsequent drying cycles.
• Integrated HEPA 14 air filtration combined with adjustable thermal drying (residual heat + forced hot-air mode) delivers ISO Class 5–compatible dryness levels for critical applications.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The LynClean-230SD accommodates a broad spectrum of laboratory consumables—including borosilicate glass, polypropylene, polycarbonate, stainless steel, and porcelain—across diameters from 10 mm to 300 mm and heights up to 450 mm. Its modular basket system supports 1–4 rack layers, configurable for standard or custom fixtures. All wash programs are user-definable and stored with timestamped metadata (cycle ID, start/stop time, temperature profile, detergent batch ID if entered). Data is retained onboard in non-volatile flash memory and exportable via USB interface to external drives or networked PCs. The system supports audit-ready documentation per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when paired with compliant software—enabling electronic signatures, user-level access control (three-tier permission hierarchy), and immutable log files suitable for GMP/GLP audits.

Software & Data Management

The 10-inch color touchscreen interface runs an embedded Linux-based OS with intuitive icon-driven navigation. Over 40 pre-validated cleaning programs are available—including fast-rinse, heavy-soil, low-temperature enzymatic, and sterilization-grade thermal disinfection cycles—and can be duplicated, edited, or archived. Each program includes configurable parameters: pre-wash duration, main wash temperature and dwell time, intermediate rinses, final purified-water rinse, and drying profile. The built-in data traceability module logs every completed cycle with full parameter recall, error codes, and sensor-readout history (e.g., chamber temp, inlet water pressure, pump runtime). USB export supports CSV and PDF report generation compatible with LIMS integration. Optional printer connectivity enables hard-copy record retention where required by SOPs.

Applications

This washer serves as a critical infrastructure component in quality control laboratories performing analytical method validation, stability studies, and raw material release testing. It is routinely deployed in biopharmaceutical manufacturing for cleaning of sampling vials, media bottles, and buffer containers prior to aseptic filling. Academic core facilities use it to standardize glassware preparation across teaching and research labs—reducing inter-experimenter variability in trace metal analysis, HPLC sample introduction, and cell culture workflows. Environmental testing labs rely on its reproducibility for EPA Method-compliant sample container decontamination. Its robust construction and detergent flexibility also support specialized applications such as residue removal in forensic toxicology or catalyst recovery in catalysis research.

FAQ

What types of detergents are compatible with the LynClean-230SD?
Alkaline, acidic, and neutral formulations—certified for laboratory use and free of phosphates or halogenated solvents—are supported. Compatibility must be verified per manufacturer’s SDS and validated for residue-free performance under operational conditions.
Can the system be validated for GMP compliance?
Yes. The LynClean-230SD provides the foundational hardware and data integrity features required for IQ/OQ/PQ execution—including calibrated temperature sensors, pressure monitoring points (optional), programmable cycle repeatability, and secure electronic records.
Is remote monitoring or network connectivity available?
Standard configuration includes USB host port for local data transfer. Ethernet or Wi-Fi modules are available as factory-installed options for integration into centralized lab asset management platforms.
How often does the triple-stage filter require maintenance?
Filter servicing intervals depend on water quality and load frequency; typical maintenance occurs every 200–300 cycles. Visual inspection ports and automated clog-detection alerts simplify preventive upkeep.
Does the machine support custom rack designs?
Yes. ShoLyn offers engineering consultation and CAD-based customization services for application-specific fixtures—ensuring optimal positioning and spray exposure for irregular or high-value items.
