Abstract:
Objective To design an integrated device for cleaning,sterilizing and drying the glass graduated pipette with considerations on its characteristics.Methods The integrated device had its shell made of 304 stainless steel and hardware part composed of three modules for control,cleaning and drying.The control module consisted of a human machine interface(HMI)touch screen,a programmable logic controller(PLC),solenoid valves and etc;the cleaning module was made up of an ultrasonic release disk,a heat preservation cylinder,a bracket and etc;the drying module comprised a blower,a heating plate,a heat preservation cylinder and connected pipes.The HMI was developed with the programming language of EasyBuilder,and the PLC control logic was written with SCL high-level programming language.Results The device developed could be used for cleaning,sterilizing and drying the glass graduated pipette,and the pipette could be stored in the device after drying.Conclusion The integrated device developed eliminates manual operation and enhances the efficiency of the cleaning,sterilization and drying of the glass graduated pipette.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(4):108-112]
