Taxacom: Ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning specimens

[Dilrukshan Wijesinghe]

I am looking for an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning alcohol-preserved specimens (e.g. spiders). I remember Norm Platnick had an excellent one on his desk, very small (about the size of a Campbell soup can, the ?basin? at the top less than half that size) that worked beautifully. Sadly I don?t recall who made it or from where Norm had got it.

Would appreciate any recommendations. (I suspect most of the relatively inexpensive so-called ?ultrasonic jewelry cleaners? are not much more than vibrating tanks where any cleaning that happen owes more to the detergent they come with than to any ultrasonic waves.)
