Analab EasyTrace – Acid Vapor Labware Cleaning Systems

EasyTrace Systems provide high purity vessel cleaning without requiring ultrapure acids. They safely operate unattended with low operating costs and help produce low repeatable blank levels.

Better Sample Preparation = Better Results

Take the guesswork and manual steps out of your labware cleaning process for trace metal analysis with the automated EasyTrace systems
Analab’s unique vapor distillation process cleans your glass and plastic laboratory vessels safely and efficiently with small volumes of acid in a closed system
EasyTrace delivers significant costs savings by distilling reagent-grade acids and automating a typically labor-intensive process
The EasyTrace system automates the acid cleaning phase, while the addition of the CleanRinseDry (CRD) capability fully completes the vessel cleaning process with the automated rinsing and drying of your labware
No operator contact with corrosive acids with enclosed EasyTrace and EasyTrace CRD systems

Models

EasyTrace provides automated acid vapor cleaning of laboratory vessels

Operates with remotely located Analab regulator (110 V and 208-240 V models)
Utilizes small volumes of acids (300-500 mL) such as HNO3, HCL, HF
Cleaning acid can be manually exchanged with water to provide steam rinsing

EasyTrace with CleanRinseDry (EasyTrace CRD) fully automates the Cleaning, Rinsing and Drying steps

Supports a dual acid capability to allow automated acid vapor cleaning with two different acids
Provides a steam rinse cycle with heated water
Completes the process with a heated drying cycle

How It Works

Closed-environment fluoropolymer EasyTrace enclosure for laboratory vessels equipped with a heated zone on the bottom of the unit
Small quantity of reagent grade acid (or water) is heated to create high-purity vapor that rises up into vessels
Vapors cool and condense on vessel walls, dissolving contaminants on the surfaces and pores of the vessel walls
Condensed droplets containing impurities drain down the vessel walls and return to the heating tray base
All contaminants stay in the base of the system; only clean acid vapors or steam reaches the vessels
In base EasyTrace system exchanges of acid and water from the base is performed manually when needed
EasyTrace with CleanRinseDry (CRD) provides automated switching between acids, water, and a final drying step to fully automate the vessel cleaning process

CRD Automation

The EasyTrace CRD (Clean/Rinse/Dry) completely automates the labware cleaning process. A fully automated controller fills/empties the cleaning chamber with timed operating temperature cycles, then dries the chamber and contents after the cleaning and rinse steps are completed.
