AC200 Ultra Cleaner
amerlabinvention & innovation
Clean labware is essential for trace analysis.
Traditional cleaning procedures such as acid soaking and microwave cleaning can be time-consuming and yield less-than-ideal results. With Acid Ultra Cleaning, we are pleased to offer today's lab technician a better solution.
Acid Ultra Cleaning uses acid vapor to clean the vessels in a sealed Chamber. Through a built-in temperature-control heating system, all trace metal contaminants soluble in acid can be safely and efficiently removed by acid vapor. The used acid will then be drained from the chamber to prevent the extracted contaminants from being reintroduced to the cleaned vessels.

ACID SOAKING MICROWAVE CLEANING
ACID ULTRA CLEANING
The least efficient method• Low efficiency, usually lasts for more than 24
hours, needs an extra set of digestion liners to
meet the need, and the cost is extremely high;
• The acid tank presents many safety concerns
as excess acid gas may leak and pollute the
laboratory environment;
• Regular acid replacement is necessary to
avoid cross-contamination which leads to high
acid consumption and dangerous handling of
concentrated acids;
• Requires manual rinsing and drying after
soaking which is tedious and may cause
secondary contamination.
provides acceptable results but has several drawbacks
• Each digestion liner consumes 5mL of pure
acid to clean;
• Requires costly, extremely pure acid, Trace
Metal grade is often required, leading to high
operating costs;
• Process is extremely harmful to digestion
liners which therefore requires frequent
replacement at high costs;
• Requires manual rinsing and drying after
soaking which is tedious and may cause
secondary contamination.
provides the best possible results.
• High efficiency: Up to 66 digestion liners
(55mL) can be handled per batch;
• Shorter times: It generally takes only 3-5
hours with efficient leaching of hot vapor;
• Lower acid consumption: Only 100-300mL of NF
grade concentrated acid is required per batch
to get low ppb level cleaning;• Software controlled, resulting in good
cleaning reproducibility;• Automatic rinsing and drying can be performed
after acid cleaning by the automatic model,
offering one-stop service.

Automatic Acid DilutionNo Chemical Hazard
For most applications, a concentration of 69% nitric acid is unnecessary. AC200 can be programmed to automatically dilute to any desired concentration.
Zero contact with the acid.
Patent pending.
Vacuum Waste RemovalNo pump leakage
Safely removes high-temperature waste acid and waste water which can damage the seal of diaphragm pump and cause leakage.
Eliminates the tedious work and high cost of frequently replacing the peristaltic pump tubings.
Eliminates the need to wait 1-2 hours for the waste cooling.
Patent pending.
Following the success of the AC100, Amerlab has set the industry standard once again with an all new generation of AC200 Ultra Cleaner. Combining the previous cutting-edge technologies with patented new features, we have rendered a product which is more efficient, safer and easier to use!

Acid Vapor ScrubberNo need for a fume hood
Traditionally, both the cleaning chamber and the waste bottle required an air vent to maintain air pressure balance, resulting in inevitable acid vapor leakage.
AC200 uses a unique high-performance acid vapor scrubber which eliminates this problem - yielding an absorbing efficiency which exceeds 99% and an adsorbing capacity of 50%.
Patent pending.

RTC Temperature Sensor
Amerlab AC200 Ultra Cleaner

Amerlab AC200 Ultra Cleaner with RTC and OWV technologies is the ultimate cleaning solution! With Ultra Cleaner, you can now achieve better results in 3 hours than traditional methods which required up to 24 hours.
AC200 Ultra Cleaner greatly reduces the costly consumption of acids and ppt levels of cleaning can be easily achieved using less expensive ppb grade acid.
Accurate measurement is essential for precise temperature control. Amerlab uses Real Temperature Control (RTC) technology. The temperature sensor of the RTC unit is specially treated, giving it Teflon-like corrosion resistance. It can be inserted directly into the acid to monitor the actual temperature in real time, ensuring that the acid vapor is generated under the ideal sub-boiling condition yielding the highest purity of acid vapor. Traditional cleaners only monitor the temperature of heater, resulting in less accurate readings, less control of the temperature of the acid and lower acid vapor purity.
Sub-boiling Technique ensures the highest purity of vapor• What are the advantages of sub-boiling condition?
Please refer to the figure on the right.
• How is the sub-boiling condition achieved and
maintained?
OWV Ensures that the used acid is discharged directly from the system and does not return to the acid reservior to cause contamination. In traditional techniques, the waste acid will return to the acid reservior to evaporate and be used again. As the result of such circulation, the waste acid continuously contaminates the pure acid. The resulting vapor becomes dirtier and the cleaning efficiency worse, as a result, only ppb levels of cleaning can be achieved even using trace metal grade pure acid.
SaferThe maximum temperature is autonomously controlled
by heaterUnder the unlikely event that all temperature control measures have failed, the maximum temperature will not exceed 482oF to avoid damage to the equipment or potential fire.
Automatic level monitoring Up to 6 level sensors can be deployed, making it possible to monitor the real-time level of pure acid, pure water, waste acid, and waste water. Once the low level of pure acid or water is detected, the cleaner will remind you to refill it before starting to prevent inadequate cleaning. Once the high level of waste is detected, the cleaner will immediately shut down to avoid overflow.

More durable, More applicableAll wetted parts are made of durable, acid
resistant PTFE material
Digestion often involves HF acid to improve the effect. PTFE material, also known as Telfon, can withstand concentrated acids including HF and aqua regia.
Other cleaners often use cheap quartz material which is subject to HF corrosion and often contains high ppm levels of metal ions which will gradually leach into the cleaning process and cause secondary contamination. These drawbacks make it difficult for other cleaners to achieve ppt levels and greatly limits their usefulness in trace analysis.
Fully automated --- Pre-cleaning, Acid cleaning, Rinsing and Drying
Acid vapor cleaning:
The acid liquid gently evaporates into ultra-pure acid steam under sub-boiling condition. It can be used to clean inner and outer surfaces of vessels. After finishing, the remaining acid will bedrained from the system.
Ultra-pure water rinsing:
Ultra-pure water is introduced to the system and evaporates into steam to remove the remaining acid from inner and outer surfaces of vessels. After finishing, the residual water will be drained from the system.
Hot air drying:
After passing twice through HEPA filtration, air travels into the heating chamber to be heated rapidly before entering the cleaning chamber to dry the rinsed vessels.
Pre-cleaning:
Uses ultra-pure water steam to clean first, which can remove most contaminants on the surface and save subsequent cleaning time and acid consumption.
