Used CUSTOM Wet Bench #186254 for sale

A CUSTOM Wet Bench is a type of work area that is specifically designed to provide support for chemical processing of microfabricated components. Normally used in the semiconductor industry, wet benches can also be used in medical, aerospace, and research laboratory settings. Wet benches are characterized by chemical baths and a sink or cleaning station with a countertop, as this provides an incrementally safe environment for handling chemicals from various solutions. To ensure chemical safety, wet benches are completely self-contained and often feature safety shields, filtration capabilities, and overhead exhaust systems. At the core of a Wet Bench is the chemical reservoir, or CUSTOM Wet Bench sump, which is sealed and pressurized to ensure proper containment of the chemicals used in the process. This can consist of up to four or five individual tanks, each with its own temperature regulation capability. A Wet Bench station can also be equipped with additional technology to manage the chemical solutions used in the process. This could include a vacuum pump, vacuum manifold, and tubing adaptors. Other laboratory equipment can also be incorporated into a CUSTOM Wet Bench, such as flow meters, flow controllers, and pressure gauges. Additionally, a computer system can be used to monitor and control settings throughout the process. In some cases, integrated software systems can also be included with wet benches to provide operators with a full range of control and safety settings. The chemical handling process itself can take place within a Wet Bench environment in a number of ways. All of the necessary chemical solutions can be provided in a single container, or as individual components in separate tanks, such as a clean-in-place (CIP) system. The CIP will provide an easy way for operators to manage multiple chemical solutions in a sealed environment. Additionally, systems can be configured to include both manual and automated processes for loading, dispensing, and controlling the solutions used in the process. Lastly, wet benches are equipped with safety features to ensure the safety of personnel, as well as the protection of process chemicals from contamination. This includes full-surface chemical-resistant countertops, cleanroom-compatible fumehoods, safety shields, and ultraviolet light-barriers. Furthermore, wet benches are often constructed of materials that are corrosion and impact-resistant, thus providing a durable work station that can handle temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius. In conclusion, a CUSTOM Wet Bench can provide a reliable and safe environment for handling chemicals used in microfabrication. All of its components are designed to provide maximum safety, while also allowing for flexibility and efficient chemical management. This makes a Wet Bench ideal for any environment where precision chemical handling is a necessity.
