There are many options when it comes to cleaning parts; solvent wiping, soaking, ultrasonics, abrasion. But, more and more are considering plasma treatments, specifically plasma cleaning. Granted that plasma cleaning is horrible at removing bulk or globed on gunk from a device simply because it would take a very long time for all organics to be eliminated. But, to use plasma as the final step in complete organic removal, nothing is better.

Plasma cleaning of critical parts like medical implants, electronics, or diagnostics is one of the best methods. The operational cost and chemical use is very low making this technique environmentally friendly. The plasma technique is completely 360 degree cleaning organic residue from the smallest feature. The surface will be hyper-clean, uniform and ready for packaging or to some other critical step where pristine surfaces are necessary.
