Machine for washing laboratory equipment comprising an enclosure (17) containing the cleaning liquid and having supported therein four baskets (31) into which the equipment (80) is positioned. Each basket projects along radial axes from an axially rotatable drive shaft (36) mounted centrally of the enclosure. The drive shaft has four equally spaced radially extending support shafts (38) mounted thereon, a basket being detachably located on each support shaft. Abutment means (50) is positioned on a locus of the radial extremity of the baskets to mesh with the extremity of each basket (40) to cause rotation of each basket about the longitudinal axis of shaft (38) as the array of baskets rotate about the drive shaft (36) i.e. each basket rotates in two mutual perpendicular axes. The machine can be coupled to a source of hot/cold water or distilled water and includes hot air drying facilities to both wash and dry laboratory equipment. |
