Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Cleaning

At Telford Scientific, cleanliness is a core pillar of our quality assurance. We ensure every component meets the strict standards required for high-performance scientific, semiconductor and analytical applications.

To achieve this, all parts undergo processing in our advanced ultra-sonicated, multi-stage aqueous cleaning system, designed for precision, repeatability, and contamination control.

Components are cleaned through a 9-stage aqueous process, using carefully calibrated water-based solutions and sequential treatment stages to deliver the exact level of cleanliness required:

  1. Detergent pre-wash
  2. Water wash rinse
  3. Detergent wash
  4. Water wash rinse
  5. Detergent neutraliser
  6. Water wash rinse
  7. Deionised water wash rinse
  8. Deionised water wash rinse
  9. Clean oven dry

Every process parameter - including solution concentration, temperature, dwell time, and agitation - is tightly defined and monitored to ensure consistent, repeatable performance and compliance with the required cleanliness criteria.

Regular system maintenance, clean-downs, and controlled refill cycles allow us to maintain exceptional process stability. And because we supply directly into the mass spectrometry market, we receive rapid, real-world validation of our cleanliness standards - reinforcing the reliability and precision of our cleaning operations.

Helping our customers by understanding their needs.

Mass Spectrometry Project

We recently re-engineered and produced an analyser flight tube which required implementation of our meticulous cleaning methods to eliminate contaminant entrapment pockets. Our process removed the need for three weeks of baking to eradicate hydrocarbons, accelerating project completion for the customer.
