The Benefits Of Machine Washing Laboratory Glassware Versus Hand Washing

By Lisa Choplo, Miele Professional

If the aim of the laboratory is to be cost-efficient and provide consistent results, hand washing should not be the process of choice for cleaning laboratory glassware. Hand washing not only presents inherent safety risks for employees, but is also not a repeatable process and produces variable results. Automating the washing process is one step that can be taken that will help modernize the laboratory by making it a safer and greener work environment, streamlining the operation and providing a huge cost savings in the long run.
