Miele PLW 8683 CD ADP DC5 CM laboratory dishwasher
The Miele laboratory washer was specially developed for professional laboratory applications and enables fast, thorough and safe cleaning and disinfection of various laboratory glassware and utensils. This system particularly comes into its own when reprocessing container-intensive samples, bottles, test tubes or pipettes. Users benefit from high loading flexibility, efficient drying thanks to DryPlus and reliable control via M Touch Flex. This laboratory washer impresses with quick adaptation to a wide range of laboratory requirements and high capacities in daily operation.
Performance features and technologies
In order to meet the diverse requirements of laboratory environments, the appliance is equipped with modern and highly functional components. The centrepiece is the intelligent combination of a powerful circulation pump, programmable controller and integrated hot air drying. This ensures flawless, validated reprocessing, even if hollow or narrow-lumen laboratory glassware is to be cleaned. Some of the most important technical points are summarised below:
- Flexibly loadable rinsing chamber (2 rinsing levels) for up to 128 laboratory bottles or 98 pipettes per batch
- Increased efficiency thanks to rinsing pressure and spray arm monitoring at full load
- Integrated DryPlus drying unit with class H14 HEPA filter for reliable particle separation
- M Touch Flex - full-touch colour display for intuitive programme selection and customisable wash parameters
- Can be networked ex works via WLAN for secure documentation and integration into the laboratory network
- Variety of programmes with 20 standard and 10 freely programmable programmes, including short, intensive and hygiene cycles
- Fast rinsing cycles from 20 minutes for time-critical applications
In addition to these core features, a stainless steel rinsing chamber, programmable dosing pumps for detergents and neutralising agents and a comprehensive safety concept (waterproof system, conductivity monitoring) are among the key benefits for laboratory operators.
The robust design, tested to 15,000 operating hours, underpins a long service life in demanding everyday laboratory work. Thanks to the convenient load carriers and the EasyLoad system, users also save time when loading by placing labware precisely and securely on the nozzles. This allows not only narrow-necked tubes and vials with various adapters to be cleaned, but also pipettes to be efficiently reprocessed in combination with other laboratory glassware.
Certifications and standards
The device fulfils common approvals, ensuring safety and quality in the laboratory at all times. The VDE mark confirms its electrical safety, and the IP protection class IP 21 protects the electronics against the ingress of dripping water. In addition, the laboratory washer is compliant with EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040, so that both basic and application-specific safety requirements are covered. It also fulfils the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, which stands for the environmentally conscious use of components and reduces harmful ingredients.
Concrete application examples
- Cleaning large quantities of test tubes in chemical laboratories, for example when used with inorganic solutions
- Reprocessing pipettes and narrow-bore laboratory bottles in microbiological research institutes, especially when working with agar or organica residues
- Validated disinfection of glassware for phytolaboratories, where the laboratory washer must ensure constant cleanliness
- Removal of oil and grease contamination in process laboratories in the pharmaceutical industry to achieve reproducible results
FAQs
How are the cleaned laboratory glassware dried
?
The appliance has an integrated hot air drying system (DryPlus). A class H14 HEPA filter reliably separates particles so that even narrow openings are completely dry and clean.
What capacities are available for certain glass shapes?
Typically, up to 128 laboratory bottles can be cleaned per batch. For test tubes and vials, this is 196 pieces, while 98 pipettes can be accommodated in a separate load carrier at the same time.
Can I customise the programmes individually?
Yes. 10 freely configurable slots are available in addition to 20 standard programmes. This means that rinsing parameters such as temperature, rinsing times or drying times can be customised precisely to your laboratory glassware and contamination types.
How is process documentation ensured in everyday laboratory work?
The device can be connected at the factory via WLAN. If required, optional interfaces and Ethernet functions can be added so that all critical process data can be documented.
Conclusion
This model offers a robust, efficient and easy-to-operate solution for cleaning laboratory glassware and utensils in demanding working environments. With high-performance components, a durable design and comprehensive safety functions, it fulfils the high standards of modern laboratories. Fast programmes, customised dosing systems and sophisticated drying technology ensure consistently high cleaning quality. At the same time, the flexible load carriers and the EasyLoad system increase productivity by saving time during preparation and loading. The integrated network capability and various certifications make the overall package complete and future-proof for a wide range of laboratory applications.
