UV/Ozone ProCleaner™ and ProCleaner™ Plus

The ProCleaner™ line of instruments provides benefits at price points that give choices for the researcher.  The ProCleaner™ device is is a UV and Ozone cleaner designed to remove molecular levels of contamination to achieve the cleanest possible probes and surfaces.  BioForce is known for having a superior product and a manageable price.

How does it work?  A high intensity mercury vapor lamp generates 254nm light which cleaves the bonds of organic molecules on the surface.  Strong emission at 185nm converts atmospheric oxygen into reactive ozone, which attacks the small molecular fragments and creates volatile organics.

The UV Ozone ProCleaner Plus features a 25% larger UV lamp for greater ozone production and faster cleaning.  It also provides more even UV illumination over the entire 5" x 5" x 1" drawer area for cleaning larger samples such as wafers.
