Dear Readers, Welcome to the latest issue of The Magazine
A clean balance is a first step towards safe and accurate weighing and is the most important action to prolong instrument life. Furthermore – and even more important – cleaning increases user safety and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. When easy cleaning is part of your balance design. METTLER TOLEDO balances are designed for easy cleaning. Materials used for the housing, terminal and weighing pan are durable and robust. Housings are typically powder-coated die-cast aluminum, plastic, chrome steel and glass. Terminals are made of chrome-plated die-cast zinc and plastics, and grid weighing pans of chrome-nickel steel (X2CrNiMo17-12-2, 1.4404). Even with their robust design, however, certain precautions should be taken and appropriate agents used during cleaning procedures.
Notable exceptions are draft shields. Where included, draft shields can be taken apart and cleaned in dishwashers up to 80 °C (176 °F). Weighing pans and drip trays are removable and may also be cleaned in dishwashers (check the instruction manual of the respective balance). Balances resist a wipe-cleaning or disinfection with alcohols-, and hydrocarbons. Exposure can occur for some minutes without damage. We recommend the use of alcohols as the disinfection agent of choice.
METTLER TOLEDO recommends the use of vaporized hydrogen peroxide. It is increasingly used as a standard to sterilize cleanrooms and fume hoods.
Because it does not damage electronics and other devices, it should be considered a primary method for superficial sterilization of METTLER TOLEDO balances when necessary.
The following procedures are NOT recommended for METTLER TOLEDO balances, but are acceptable for weighing pans and drip trays:
