Supmile KQ-200TDE High-Frequency Ultrasonic Cleaner

Overview

The Supmile KQ-200TDE is a benchtop high-frequency ultrasonic cleaner engineered for precision cleaning of delicate laboratory components, optical elements, semiconductor wafers, precision mechanical parts, and analytical instrumentation accessories. Operating at a stable 80 kHz frequency, it generates uniform cavitation energy across the cleaning bath—optimized to remove sub-micron particulate contamination, organic residues, and light oxide films without surface erosion or acoustic damage. Unlike lower-frequency cleaners (e.g., 40 kHz), the 80 kHz output delivers finer, more densely distributed cavitation bubbles, enhancing cleaning efficacy on intricate geometries such as microfluidic channels, capillary tubing, and MEMS devices. Its stainless-steel tank (304 grade), dual 100 W transducers, and digitally regulated power delivery ensure consistent energy transfer and long-term operational stability under repeated thermal and acoustic stress.

Key Features

• Dual independent 100 W piezoelectric transducers mounted on the tank bottom—engineered for balanced acoustic field distribution and minimized standing-wave interference.
• Digital LED interface with real-time display of set/actual temperature, elapsed time, power level (%), and system status indicators (e.g., low-water alert, over-temperature lockout).
• Adjustable ultrasonic power (40–100% in 10% increments) enabling process optimization for sensitive substrates—including coated lenses, thin-film sensors, and polymer-based microplates.
• Precise thermostatic control (10–80 °C ±1.5 °C) using PID-regulated heating elements; integrated thermal cutoff prevents dry-run operation and ensures compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity requirements.
• Programmable timer (1–480 minutes) with auto-shutdown and memory retention for up to three user-defined cleaning protocols.
• Sound-dampening hinged lid constructed from reinforced ABS with silicone gasket—reduces ambient noise to ≤55 dB(A) at 1 m distance and minimizes solvent evaporation during heated operation.
• Manual drain valve with ergonomic lever actuation and corrosion-resistant brass fitting—designed for rapid, spill-free solution exchange between cleaning cycles.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The KQ-200TDE accommodates a broad range of sample types, including glassware (vials, cuvettes, chromatography columns), metal fixtures (tweezers, forceps, surgical instruments), ceramic substrates, and silicon wafers (≤150 mm diameter). Its 300 × 150 × 100 mm internal tank dimensions support standard labware stacks and multi-tiered stainless-steel mesh baskets (included). The unit complies with GB/T 29869–2013 (Chinese national standard for ultrasonic cleaners), meets CE marking requirements per Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC) and 2014/35/EU (LVD), and incorporates safety interlocks aligned with ISO 13857:2019 (safety distances to prevent hazard zone access). For regulated environments, its digital logging capability supports GLP documentation when paired with external timestamped recording systems.

Software & Data Management

While the KQ-200TDE operates as a standalone instrument without PC connectivity, its embedded microcontroller (8-bit RISC architecture) provides non-volatile memory for protocol recall, cumulative runtime tracking (up to 9999 hours), and fault-event logging (e.g., “E03: Low Water Detected”). All parameter settings persist through power interruption. Though not FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant out-of-the-box, the device supports audit-ready operation when used within validated SOPs—particularly where manual entry of batch IDs, operator initials, and cycle parameters is documented in lab notebooks or LIMS-integrated workflows.

Applications

• Pre-analytical sample preparation: removal of residual solvents and particulates from HPLC vials, GC autosampler needles, and ICP-MS nebulizer components.
• Microelectronics: cleaning photomasks, probe cards, and etched PCB substrates prior to inspection or coating.
• Pharmaceutical QC labs: decontamination of tablet punches, capsule fillers, and dissolution apparatus parts per USP and .
• Academic research: substrate preparation for thin-film deposition (e.g., spin-coating, sputtering), AFM tip cleaning, and TEM grid degreasing.
• Maintenance of metrology tools: calibration standards, gauge blocks, and optical interferometer components requiring particle-free surfaces.

FAQ

What is the recommended cleaning solution for aqueous applications?
Deionized water with 0.5–2% laboratory-grade surfactant (e.g., Alconox® Liquinox®) is optimal for general use; avoid chloride-containing detergents to prevent pitting of the stainless-steel tank.
Can the KQ-200TDE be used with flammable solvents?
No—this model lacks explosion-proof certification and is rated for aqueous or mild alcohol-based solutions only (≤30% ethanol/volume). Use only in well-ventilated areas with appropriate fume extraction.
How often should the transducers be serviced?
Under normal usage (≤4 hrs/day), no scheduled transducer maintenance is required; periodic visual inspection for delamination or epoxy cracking is advised every 12 months.
Is the stainless-steel mesh basket included with the unit?
Yes—a 304 stainless-steel adjustable-height basket (120 × 80 × 50 mm) is supplied standard; optional accessories include beaker holders and custom-fitted racks.
Does the unit support continuous operation mode?
Yes—when the timer is set to “∞” (infinite mode), ultrasonic output and heating remain active until manually stopped or interrupted by a safety condition (e.g., low water).
