Accessories for Microdrives

The high-performance ultrasonic cleaner provided by Thomas RECORDING is intended for cleaning microdrive components and accessories (e.g. guide tubes, electrodes). The proven and particularly robust ultrasonic baths cleans thoroughly and gently by means of intensive cavitation bubbles, even in the hard-to-reach places of the cleaning objects. A user-friendly rotary handle control is used for easy adjustment of the cleaning time. The fully automatic SweepTec function prevents standing waves in the ultrasonic field and achieves particularly even cleaning. For optimally coordinated ultrasonic cleaning, matching baskets, lids and cleaning concentrates are available as accessories.

Ultrasound cleaner lid

A suitable stainless steel lid for our ultrasonic bath protects the bath fluid from external contamination and prevents odour nuisance caused by the added cleaning or disinfecting preparations. In addition, the noise emission that may be perceived as annoying during operation of the ultrasonic cleaner is reduced. The lids are designed in such a way that any condensation water that arises is led back into the tank.

For holding sound reinforcement material; made of stainless steel. During ultrasonic operation, nothing may be placed on the bottom of the tank, as abrasion may occur between the material to be sonicated and the ultrasonic oscillating tank. It is therefore recommended to use a suitable basket to hold the sonication material. The baskets provided by Thomas RECORDING are designed in such a way that the material to be sonicated is always in the optimum area of the cavitation field (1-2 cm from the floor) in the oscillating tank. With the help of a basket, the sonication material can also be conveniently placed in the unit and removed after operation, e.g. for rinsing, without the user coming into contact with the sonication fluid in the oscillating tank.

Thomas RECORDING Silicone Oil is a liquid, water-clear polydimethyl siloxane. It differs from organic compounds in both their physical and chemical properties which, singly or in combination, has won TREC silicone oil a special place in this technological application. It is an excellent electrical insulators and, unlike their carbon analogues, are non-flammable. The Thomas Silicone Oil is required for all Thomas microdrive systems during the electrode loading process. It is used to fill guide tubes of Thomas microdrive systems to prevent other fluids like blood or liquor cerebrospinals from entering the guide tubes by capillary forces. Viscosity (at 25°C) 950-1050 mm2/sDensity (at 25°C) 0,97-0,98 g/cm3; Quantity: 100ml bottle
