Abstract
An apparatus and method for cleaning containers, such as sample containers for environmental testing, involves providing fluidly isolated modular cleaning bays which are interchangeably cascaded together for processing trays of containers through different washing and rinsing solutions. In each modular bay a bank of nozzle elements is cycled to traverse into and out of the tray of containers to clean the interior surfaces of the containers.
