Laboratory glassware (LG)
Wide-necked glassware, such as wide
necked erlenmeyer flasks and petri
dishes or glassware with a cylindrical
form, e.g. test tubes, can be cleaned
inside and out with the rotating spray
arm. General glassware such as
beakers, conical flasks, petri dishes,
test tubes, etc. can be arranged in
full-size, half or quarter inserts in an
empty basket with spray arms.
Mobile injector units are available for
direct injection spraying of narrow
necked flasks, pipettes, etc.
The following instructions relate only to
basic preparation and loading of
