Washing dishes at the sink is not only messy and cumbersome and takes a great deal of time and effort. The same goes for washing laboratory glassware and utensils, and perhaps even more so when certain cleanliness and hygiene levels are required. The glassware and utensils need to be clean and residue-free from any impurities and process chemicals previously used from the outset, to achieve reliable results later. In short: Wherever the human factor comes into the equation, the standardisation of these processes is virtually impossible.
Even today, the manual cleaning of laboratory glassware is still commonplace. The reasons for this approach are usually pecuniary in nature – manual cleaning is cheaper than procuring and maintaining a laboratory glasswasher, or at least that is a general perception.
Labotec is the local agent for the Miele Professional range of lab washers, and their entry-level model, the PG8504 Lab washer, represents a commercial-grade solution for laboratory glassware for analytical experiments with a great cost/performance ratio. In addition, these washers are on a special 50% less promotion till the end of 2022, making it even more attractive to acquire a lab washer right now.

The PG8504 Miele Lab washer, even though entry-level still has some outstanding features such as its high-capacity mixed load consisting of 130 laboratory glassware and vials achieved through optimised chamber dimensions and a completely redesigned range of load carriers, for more storage space. Some other features include:
- Excellent cleaning performance
- Variable-speed pump for perfect spray pressure in all program phases
- Laser technology is used to weld the chamber sections to give a perfectly smooth, crevice-free finish for the ultimate in hygiene.
- No more heater elements in the wash chamber
- Multi-stage filtration system is highly efficient in removing particulate soil from water in circulation.
- Spray pressure and spray arm monitoring detect any loss in pressure as well as load items preventing spray arm rotation
This approach is particularly gentle on materials and is recommended by leading manufacturers of laboratory glassware such as the DURAN Group.
