How it works

The WS-1000MH has all-polypropylene construction in the WS-1000MH-WPP version. The WS-1000MH has a perforated wet deck that is easily removable. The WS-1000MH has a wet plenum. The WS-1000MH has an exhaust plenum with a gauge. The WS-1000MH has an isolated component drawer below for heaters, pumps, and vessels. The WS-1000MH offers options that include a touch screen control interface, processor exhaust interlock and control on some models, through-pressure-vessel magnetic material stirring, chemical heating, rinse to resistivity, drain diverters, a vacuum loading wand, a wafer cassette stand, leak detection, and light towers.[1][2]
