The Steelco LAB 500 Series compact underbench glassware washer delivers reliable, high-performance laboratory glassware cleaning for small and medium-sized labs where bench space is limited and reprocessing quality cannot be compromised. Built with the same injection washing technology found in Steelco’s higher-throughput systems, the LAB 500 combines a powerful washing pump with optimized spray pressure and high flow rates to thoroughly clean beakers, flasks, pipettes, and narrow-neck labware across two independent washing levels. Available from ARES Scientific’s full selection of glassware washers, the LAB 500 Series fits beneath standard laboratory countertops and is offered in four configurable models — SC, SCL, CL, and DRS — so facilities can match features to their specific glassware reprocessing and drying requirements.

Designed for pharmaceutical testing, cannabis laboratory preparation, quality control, vivarium support, and environmental analysis workflows, the Steelco LAB 500 laboratory glass washer features an electronic temperature control system with two independent probes that maintains thermal disinfection at 93 °C (199 °F) for validated cycle performance. A HEPA H14 filtered forced air drying system, available on the CL and DRS configurations, provides complete interior and exterior drying of labware without manual handling. Two standard peristaltic pumps deliver precise liquid chemical dosing, and an integrated steam condenser prevents vapors from entering the work area during wash cycles. The RS 232 port enables printer or PC connection for cycle monitoring and validation, making the LAB 500 a strong fit for GLP-compliant and ISO-regulated washers and dryers environments. Laboratories comparing undercounter laboratory washers will find that the LAB 500 provides exceptional flexibility with up to 40 programmable wash cycles depending on the model selected.

ARES Scientific is an authorized Steelco distributor, ensuring every LAB 500 Series lab dishwasher ships as a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and dedicated technical support. The LAB 500 washing chamber and spray arms are constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel with rounded edges that resist microbial growth and contamination buildup. Pair the LAB 500 with the companion Steelco LAB Dryer to create a complete underbench glassware reprocessing line that effectively doubles throughput by offloading the drying phase, or explore laboratory-grade detergents and accessories to optimize cleaning across chemistry, biology, and clinical sample preparation applications.
