Titan SUC-10H Heated Multifunctional Ultrasonic Cleaner

Overview

The Titan SUC-10H Heated Multifunctional Ultrasonic Cleaner is an engineered solution for routine laboratory cleaning, degassing, and mild surface decontamination tasks. It operates on the principle of ultrasonic cavitation—where high-frequency acoustic energy (37 kHz) induces controlled microbubble formation and implosion within a liquid medium, generating localized shear forces that dislodge particulate matter, organic residues, and loosely adhered biofilms from immersed surfaces. Integrated heating (20–60 °C) enhances cleaning efficacy for temperature-sensitive solvents and viscous contaminants without compromising component integrity. Designed for benchtop use in QC labs, research facilities, and instrument maintenance workflows, the SUC-10H delivers consistent, reproducible cleaning performance across glassware, metal tools, optical components, and small-volume sample containers.

Key Features

• Stainless steel tank (304 grade) with 10 L usable volume, optimized for uniform ultrasonic field distribution and long-term corrosion resistance.
• Digital control panel with independent adjustment of heating setpoint (±1 °C accuracy) and timer (1–99 min, 1 min increments), enabling precise process repeatability.
• Fixed-output 180 W ultrasonic transducer array mounted to the tank base, delivering stable energy delivery at 37 kHz—optimized for general-purpose cleaning without frequency sweeping or harmonic modulation.
• Integrated sound-dampening lid reduces ambient noise to ≤55 dB(A) during operation, supporting compliance with occupational health guidelines in shared lab environments.
• Front-mounted drain valve and fill port facilitate rapid fluid exchange and solvent recovery—critical for labs handling multiple cleaning chemistries or regulated waste streams.
• Over-temperature and dry-run protection circuits prevent heater element damage and ensure safe unattended operation up to 99 minutes.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The SUC-10H accommodates standard laboratory items including volumetric flasks, pipette tips, crucibles, forceps, syringe filters, and small PCBs. Its temperature-limited range (20–60 °C) ensures compatibility with common aqueous and low-boiling-point organic solvents (e.g., isopropanol, acetone, ethanol/water mixtures). While not certified for sterilization per ISO 17665 or EN 285, the unit supports validated cleaning protocols aligned with ASTM D4169, USP , and ISO 15883-1 for non-critical device reprocessing. All electrical components meet CE marking requirements under IEC 61010-1 for laboratory equipment safety.

Software & Data Management

The SUC-10H operates via embedded firmware with no external software dependency. All operational parameters—including elapsed time, current bath temperature, and cycle completion status—are displayed in real time on the LED interface. While the unit does not support USB/RS-232 connectivity or audit trail logging, its fixed-parameter architecture inherently satisfies GLP documentation requirements when used within defined SOPs: each cleaning cycle is manually logged with operator ID, batch number, solvent type, duration, and temperature setting. For GMP-regulated environments requiring electronic records, integration with standalone data loggers (e.g., compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11) is feasible via analog temperature output (0–5 V) available on optional accessory ports.

Applications

• Routine cleaning of HPLC vials, GC liners, and autosampler components prior to trace-level analysis.
• Removal of polishing compounds and oxide layers from metallurgical specimens before SEM imaging.
• Preparation of cell culture flasks and bioreactor accessories where thermal disinfection is contraindicated.
• Extraction assistance for solid-phase samples in environmental testing (e.g., soil leaching, filter membrane rinsing).
• Maintenance cleaning of precision optics, watch parts, and dental instruments where mechanical scrubbing risks surface damage.

FAQ

Is the SUC-10H suitable for sterilization of surgical instruments?
No. This unit is designed for cleaning and light decontamination—not terminal sterilization. It does not achieve the microbial reduction levels required by AAMI ST79 or ISO 17665.
Can I use flammable solvents such as acetone or hexane in this cleaner?
Only with appropriate ventilation and explosion-proof modifications (not included). The standard SUC-10H is rated for aqueous and low-flashpoint solvents only under strict adherence to NFPA 30 and local fire codes.
Does the unit include a degassing function?
Yes. The 37 kHz frequency and 180 W power output provide effective degassing of solvents prior to analytical use—particularly beneficial for HPLC mobile phase preparation.
What is the expected service life of the ultrasonic transducers?
Under normal operating conditions (≤8 hrs/day, proper maintenance, and avoidance of dry operation), transducers typically maintain >90% nominal output for ≥5 years, consistent with IEC 60601-2-37 lifetime expectations for Class II medical-grade ultrasonic systems.
Is calibration documentation provided with shipment?
A factory-issued Certificate of Conformance (CoC) verifying electrical safety, temperature accuracy, and timer functionality is included. NIST-traceable calibration certificates are available upon request at additional cost.
