Overview
The Titan UC-22.5H Heated Ultrasonic Cleaner is an engineered solution for laboratory-scale cleaning, degassing, and surface preparation of precision components, glassware, surgical instruments, and analytical hardware. It operates on the principle of high-frequency acoustic cavitation—generated by piezoelectric transducers bonded to the stainless-steel tank bottom—at a fixed frequency of 35 kHz. This frequency balances effective microbubble collapse energy with minimal risk of erosion to delicate substrates such as optical lenses, ceramic nozzles, or thin-walled tubing. The integrated heating system enables precise thermal control between 20 °C and 69 °C, facilitating enhanced solvent activity for organic residue removal and accelerated aqueous detergent kinetics without compromising material integrity. Designed for continuous operation in QC labs, R&D facilities, and medical device reprocessing units, the UC-22.5H complies with structural and electrical safety requirements aligned with IEC 61010-1 for laboratory equipment.
Key Features
- Stainless-steel tank (304 grade) with reinforced corners and seamless welds for long-term corrosion resistance in aqueous and mild alkaline cleaning solutions.
- Digital microprocessor-based control panel with independent adjustment of ultrasonic power (10–100% in 10% increments), temperature (±1 °C accuracy), and timer (1–99 minutes in 1-minute steps).
- Integrated sound-dampening lid with safety interlock—ultrasonic output ceases automatically when lid is opened during operation.
- Front-mounted quick-connect fill and drain ports with ball valves, enabling controlled fluid exchange without manual siphoning or tank removal.
- Overtemperature protection circuitry and dry-run detection prevent heater element damage under low-fluid conditions.
- Compact footprint (520 × 320 × 340 mm) optimized for benchtop integration; weight: 28.5 kg (net).
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The UC-22.5H accommodates standard laboratory vessels—including beakers up to 1000 mL, Petri dishes, pipette tips, syringe filters, and small-volume chromatography columns—within its 22.5 L working volume (tank dimensions: 500 × 300 × 150 mm). It supports cleaning protocols compliant with ASTM D2603 (Ultrasonic Cleaning of Metal Parts), ISO 15883-1 (Washer-Disinfectors), and USP environmental surface decontamination guidelines. While not certified as a medical device sterilizer, it meets prerequisite cleaning stages prior to autoclaving or ethylene oxide processing. All electrical interfaces conform to CE marking requirements under the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU).
Software & Data Management
The UC-22.5H is a standalone instrument with no embedded software or network connectivity. All operational parameters are set and monitored via the front-panel LCD interface. No data logging, remote control, or audit trail functionality is provided—consistent with Class I laboratory cleaning equipment per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 definitions. For regulated environments requiring traceability, users may document settings manually or integrate external time-stamped loggers. Calibration of temperature and timer functions follows internal factory verification; routine user verification is recommended using NIST-traceable thermometers and stopwatch standards at quarterly intervals.
Applications
- Pre-analytical sample preparation: removal of particulate contamination from HPLC vials, autosampler needles, and GC inlet liners.
- Microelectronics: cleaning of PCB stencils, solder paste dispensing nozzles, and MEMS sensor housings.
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: depyrogenation support for stainless-steel contact parts prior to steam sterilization.
- Dental and orthopedic device reprocessing: adjunctive cleaning of implant drills, burrs, and torque-limiting handpieces before high-level disinfection.
- Academic research: solvent-assisted exfoliation of 2D materials, nanoparticle dispersion stabilization, and microfluidic chip priming.
FAQ
Is the UC-22.5H suitable for cleaning aluminum or soft metals?
Yes—when used with non-corrosive, pH-neutral cleaning solutions and temperatures ≤60 °C, it poses minimal risk of pitting or etching. Avoid chloride-containing solvents.
Can I operate the unit without the lid closed?
No—the safety interlock disables ultrasonic output unless the lid is fully seated and latched.
What is the expected service life of the transducer array?
Under normal use (≤6 hrs/day, proper solution maintenance), transducers maintain ≥90% nominal power output for ≥5 years, per accelerated aging tests conducted per IEC 60068-2-64.
Does the unit include a basket or rack?
A perforated stainless-steel mesh basket (400 × 250 × 100 mm) is included as standard equipment.
Is distilled water required for operation?
Deionized or distilled water is recommended for heated applications above 50 °C to minimize scale buildup on the heater surface and transducer mounting surface.
