Ultrasonic cleaner baskets are designed to work with Ultrasonic Cleaners and Ultrasonic Baths. Ultrasonic cleaning uses ultrasound technology to move the fluid within the machine and clean the items inside. Using a basket within your ultrasonic cleaner allows the cleaning solution to reach the item from every angle, with less risk of missing parts. The basket also allows the item to be submerged into the tank and removed easily.

Baskets often have handles which sit over the outer edge of the ultrasonic cleaner to suspend the items. This prevents the items from touching the bottom of the cleaning tank and allows for the fluid to circulate better. Keeping items suspended within the tank also helps prevent any potential damage to the transducers at the tank bottom.
