Miele launches new glassware washers designed to meet extraordinary safety and sanitation standards
Miele has added six new glassware washers to a portfolio that promises to meet the stringent safety and sanitary demands of productive laboratories
7 Apr 2020Miele, a global leader in laboratory glassware washers, recently unveiled six new models for North America that offer maximum cleanliness, reliability, consistency and flexibility to meet stringent safety and sanitary demands of productive laboratories. Offering lab professionals fast and effective reprocessing of contaminated glassware and equipment, the new models from Miele include a plug & play, 115V under-counter washer (PLW 8505), as well as a medium chamber washer (PLW 6111; two configurations) and a large chamber washer (PLW 86 Series; three configurations).
The full portfolio of laboratory glassware washers from Miele are ideally suited for service in labs dedicated to clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical, biotech, food and beverage, specialty and petrochemicals, water and wastewater treatment, environmental testing, general industrial, education and medical research.
“Laboratory glassware washers are mission critical for the important work happening at the forefront of medicine, life and environmental sciences and research facilities across the country,” said Glenn Liacouras, Professional Regional Director, Miele North America. “Miele Professional continues to enhance our entire lab portfolio because we understand that glassware is a critical and significant investment for laboratories. We’re leveraging award winning design principles to help ensure that glassware is not only cleaned properly, but that the resources required to protect essential lab tools are minimized.”
Each model suits different needs, and Miele lab washers offer efficient chamber sizes within a compact footprint. The flexibility of each machine is supported by intelligent controls and programmable cycles to clean most residues. Miele racks, baskets and accessories also enhance productive and effective wash cycles. The new models complement the popular Miele Flex Series PG 8583 Undercounter Lab Washer, which recently received the premier eco-nutrition label for laboratory products which emphasizes Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging and end-of-life.
