Laboratory and Research
Lab-ready ultrasonic systems for repeatable results—support cleaning, sample prep, and degassing with consistent cycles.
Perfect For
- Lab glassware and instrument cleaning
- Sample preparation (mixing, dispersing, homogenizing)
- Degassing solvents and samples
- Food laboratories and sieve cleaning
Elma ultrasonic systems support three distinct laboratory applications: cleaning, sample preparation, and degassing—each with specific requirements and techniques.

Applications
Application 1: Cleaning
Uses cleaning solution to remove residues, films, buffer buildup, and contamination from glassware, vials, lab tools, and instruments.
- Precision glassware and beakers
- Vials and sample holders
- Lab tools and fixtures
- Small instruments
Application 2: Sample Preparation
Uses ultrasonic energy for:
- Mixing and dispersing
- Dissolving and deagglomerating
- Emulsifying and homogenizing
- Preparing samples for analysis
Application 3: Degassing
Removes dissolved or entrained gas from samples, solvents, or cleaning solutions.
- Samples may require degassing before analysis, e.g. carbonated liquids
- HPLC solvents must be degassed before use
- Cleaning solution must be degassed before cleaning can proceed
Why Ultrasonic Systems for Laboratory Applications
Laboratory ultrasonic systems serve three distinct purposes:
Cleaning with ultrasonic cavitation uses cleaning solution to remove residues, films, and particulates from glassware, holders, and tools.
Sample Preparation uses ultrasonic energy for mixing, dispersing, dissolving, deagglomerating, emulsifying, or homogenizing samples before analysis.
Degassing removes dissolved or entrained gas from samples, solvents, or cleaning solutions. Note: Gas inhibits cavitation, therefore, before the unit can begin to clean or mix, the liquid must first be degassed.
Elma units are designed to perform all three applications. E Plus is entry level, while Select and P lines offer more advanced control.
- Consistent cleaning for glassware, fixtures, and sample prep tools
- Precise control for sample preparation and mixing
- Built-in degassing modes for proper liquid preparation

Frequently Asked Questions
Glassware, pipettes, beakers, and other laboratory tools are commonly cleaned ultrasonically. Always measure your largest item to ensure you select a tank that fits.
Use neutral pH or laboratory-grade detergents. Avoid strong acids or bases unless compatible with your labware.
No, ultrasonic cleaning removes residues and contaminants, but sterilization must be performed separately if required.
