For my job i want it simple
and neat. And here is the
„solution“: a number of
laboratory cleaning solutions
that are perfect both for
use in an ultrasonic bath
and in a laboratory
rinsing unit.

Universal cleaner
mild universal cleaner –
alkaline concentrate
Pipette cleaner
mild alkaline pipette cleaner –
tenside-free concentrate
Strong alkaline cleaner
for the biological laboratory –
alkaline concentrate
The universal cleaner is highly
suitable for most standard
cleaning jobs. Perfect for glass,
porcelain, metals and plastics.
For items made of aluminum
and light metals check for
resistance
first.
Powerful
removal of fat and grease,
polishing grease, gumming,
remains of labels and furring,
both in ultrasonic baths and
rinsing units.
Special cleaner for pipettes! Good
for use in ultrasonic cleaning baths
and rinsing units, also for pipette
rinsing units that operate on the
scouring principle and require
an active cleaner. The product is
tenside-free which guarantees
that there are no residues
after cleaning. It also allows an
undisturbed draining and reading
behaviour of the reagents in the
pipettes and other glass vessels
for the volumetric mass analysis.
Universal cleaner for the biological
and medical laboratory. Perfect for
glass, porcelain, ceramics, metals
and alkaline-resistant plastics.
Not suitable for aluminum and
light metals. Removes powerfully
blood, saliva, protein, other
organic substances, fat and
grease and residues from thermic
treatment during analyses and
sample preparations.
With elma lab clean, cleaning
of laboratory glassware is easy
and spotless. Perfect for simple
cleaning jobs and for the cleaning
of large items or quantities in
the laboratory rinsing units. For
more difficult cleaning jobs use an
ultrasonic cleaning bath.
od for both jobs.
rsally applicable because they are
e in ultrasonic cleaning baths and in
units.

The laboratory neutral cleaner
elma lab clean 10 is ideally suitable
for the cleaning of sensitive
materials, such as aluminum and
light metals. Instruments made
of these materials require special
gentle cleaning chemicals. The
cleaner can also be used for any
other material. It removes lime
soaps, light oils and grease and
finger marks.
This acid cleaner is intended for
the use in the laboratory. Despite
ist low pH value (pH 2.5) it is
suitable for cleaning aluminum
and light metal alloys. The cleaner
removes mineral deposits, lime,
lime soaps and nonferrous heavy
metal oxides. It is also good for the
removal of residues of mineral fat
and oil. Not suitable for removing
vegetable and animal fat and oil.
The
highly
acid
cleaning
concentrate (pH <1) is good for
the removal of very tenacious
contaminations. Metal oxides
(rust), fluxing agents, organic
residues, anorganic compounds
and mineral fat and oil are
removed reliably. Due to its high
acid portion the cleaner is not
suitable for aluminum and light
metal alloys.
Blood, saliva; protein-, bone- and
tissue-residues; greases/fats u. oils,
polishing u. grinding residues;
greases from ground-glass joints,
resinified u. tarry residues; markings, labels, fingerprints, dust.
Labware u. medical instruments
from metal, alkali-resistant glass,
porcelain, ceramic and
alkali-resistant plastic materials.
Not for aluminium, magnesium
and alloys of light-metals.
Light grease contamination, lime
soap residues, fingerprints, dust.
Glassware (calibrated pipettes,
burettes, measuring cylinders u.
volumetric graduated vessels);
instruments of volumetric analysis
from stainless steel, glass,
ceramics and plastic materials. Not
for aluminium, magnesium and
alloys of light-metals.
