Overview
The Titan SUC-6H Heated Multifunctional Ultrasonic Cleaner is an engineered solution for routine laboratory cleaning, degreasing, and particle removal from precision components, glassware, surgical instruments, and analytical sample vessels. 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 contaminants from surfaces without mechanical abrasion. Integrated heating functionality enables temperature-assisted cleaning for enhanced solubilization of organic residues, waxes, and biofilms. Designed for stability in shared lab environments, the unit features a robust stainless-steel tank (6 L capacity), precise digital temperature control (20–60 °C), and a programmable timer (1–99 minutes) to support reproducible cleaning protocols across shifts and users.
Key Features
- Stainless-steel ultrasonic tank (6 L volume) with corrosion-resistant construction for long-term chemical compatibility with common aqueous and mild solvent-based cleaning solutions.
- Fixed-frequency transducer system operating at 37 kHz—optimized for balanced cleaning efficiency and minimal sample erosion across diverse material classes including metals, ceramics, and borosilicate glass.
- Digital PID temperature controller ensuring ±1.5 °C thermal accuracy across the full 20–60 °C range; heating element located beneath the tank base for uniform thermal distribution and reduced surface hotspots.
- Programmable digital timer (1–99 min) with automatic shutdown and audible end-of-cycle alert—supporting unattended operation while maintaining procedural compliance.
- Integrated sound-dampening lid reduces ambient noise to ≤55 dB(A) at 1 m distance, meeting occupational health guidelines for continuous use in open-lab or QC settings.
- Compact benchtop footprint (300 × 240 × 320 mm) with non-slip rubber feet and front-panel LED display for intuitive parameter monitoring and setting verification.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The SUC-6H accommodates standard laboratory items including volumetric flasks, pipette tips, crucibles, HPLC vials, microscope slides, and small-scale metal parts (e.g., filters, nozzles, connectors). Its fixed 144 W ultrasonic output delivers consistent energy density (~24 W/L) suitable for non-critical cleaning applications where high-intensity sonication is unnecessary. While not certified for sterile processing or ISO 13485 medical device reprocessing, the unit supports GLP-aligned documentation practices when used in conjunction with validated cleaning SOPs. Temperature and time parameters are traceable via manual log entry; optional external data loggers may be employed for audit-ready recordkeeping per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when integrated into regulated workflows.
Software & Data Management
The SUC-6H operates via embedded firmware with no external software dependency. All operational parameters—including set temperature, elapsed time, and cycle completion status—are displayed and retained in real time on the front-panel LED interface. No USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth connectivity is provided; therefore, electronic data capture requires manual transcription or integration with third-party environmental monitoring systems via analog voltage outputs (not included). For laboratories requiring electronic records, the unit may be deployed alongside validated electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) or LIMS platforms using standardized operator logging procedures.
Applications
- Routine cleaning of analytical glassware prior to spectrophotometric, titrimetric, or chromatographic analysis.
- Removal of residual oils, fluxes, and particulates from machined components in R&D prototyping labs.
- Preparation of biological sample holders (e.g., tissue culture inserts, electrophoresis combs) to minimize carryover contamination.
- Supporting ASTM D2247 (Standard Practice for Laboratory Ultrasonic Cleaning) and ISO 14040-compliant cleaning validation studies where thermal assistance improves repeatability.
- QC/QA labs performing incoming inspection of precision hardware, where visual and tactile cleanliness verification is required pre-assembly.
FAQ
Is the ultrasonic power adjustable?
No—the SUC-6H delivers a fixed 144 W output optimized for general-purpose cleaning tasks. Power modulation is not supported.
Can this unit be used with organic solvents?
Only with low-flashpoint solvents if operated inside a certified fume hood and with strict adherence to local safety regulations. The heater and electronics are not intrinsically safe for flammable vapor environments.
Does it include a drain valve or water inlet connection?
No—this model lacks integrated drainage or fill fittings. Manual filling and emptying are required.
What is the warranty coverage?
Titan provides a 12-month limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal laboratory use conditions.
Is calibration documentation available?
Factory calibration certificates for temperature and timer functions are available upon request at time of purchase; field recalibration is performed using NIST-traceable reference thermometers and stopwatch standards.
