E 405/1 Mobile Unit for Pipettes – Efficient Cleaning and Drying Solution
The Miele E 405/1 is an mobile unit specifically designed for the meticulous cleaning and drying of laboratory pipettes. As a versatile addition to Miele washer-disinfectors, including the PG 8535 and PG 8536 models, the E 405/1 supports seamless integration to deliver an enhanced washing experience. With the ability to accommodate up to 38 pipettes in a single cycle, this unit ensures a high level of cleaning efficiency and consistency, meeting the stringent hygiene standards required in laboratory settings.
The unit features a three-row configuration that allows for flexible loading of different pipette sizes. The first row can hold 10 pipettes up to 100 ml with a maximum length of 550 mm and a bar distance of 20 mm. The second row is designed to accommodate 14 pipettes of 25 ml, while the third row holds 14 pipettes of 10 ml, both with a bar distance of 26 mm. This arrangement enables users to wash a variety of pipette sizes in one cycle, optimizing washing capacity while ensuring a thorough cleaning process. Each pipette is securely held in place, preventing any movement that could otherwise compromise the cleaning or potentially damage the pipettes.
The E 405/1 is built for compatibility with Miele washer-disinfectors PG 8535 and PG 8536, allowing for automatic machine recognition and precise spray arm control. It is equipped with a bracket for ML/2, enabling the washer-disinfector to detect the unit and adjust the washing and drying cycles as needed. This ensures that the pipettes are treated with the appropriate amount of water and detergent, followed by optimal drying, tailored to the specific requirements of each cycle.
One of the standout features of the E 405/1 is its capability for hot air drying, which is essential to guarantee that the pipettes are completely dry and free from any residual moisture before being reused. The connection for hot air drying works in conjunction with the washer-disinfector’s built-in drying system, allowing for faster and more efficient drying. This reduces the overall cycle time and ensures that no water spots or residues remain on the inner surfaces of the pipettes.
The unit is constructed using high-quality materials, including stainless steel and durable plastic components, making it suitable for the demanding conditions of laboratory environments. The stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring a long lifespan despite frequent exposure to water, chemicals, and cleaning agents. The inclusion of plastic components helps to keep the unit lightweight, making it easy to handle and maneuver.
With compact dimensions, the E 405/1 is designed to fit comfortably within most laboratory washer-disinfectors without taking up excessive space. Its external measurements are 502 mm in height, 535 mm in width, and 517 mm in depth. Weighing just 6.2 kg, it is easy to transport and install, providing added convenience for operators.
The E 405/1 is a reliable and efficient choice for laboratories that require a versatile and effective solution for cleaning and drying pipettes. Its design facilitates a streamlined cleaning process, delivering consistent results that meet the highest standards of laboratory hygiene.
