Hardened Alconox Detergent Powder
Q. Is there any way to restore a pail of Alconox to its original form after it has become solid like a rock? A. Regretfully, once solidified, the phosphates in Alconox detergent powder have been hydrolyzed by exposure to water or humidity and then have re-condensed and hydrated to form a phosphate cement.

Alconox and Environmental Safety
Q. I will be sampling sediments in a lake with a drilling unit. I am wondering if Alconox is harmful to the environment. i.e. if it got into the lake, is there a possibility of harm? I plan on using it to rinse drill bits. Also, what concentration is typical?
Using Liquinox as Stainless Steel Cleaner
Q. We are considering using a Liquinox solution for our cleaning needs. We will be cleaning stainless steel from the residues of oils etc. We will be cleaning using an ultrasonic bath. Can you recommend a concentration, time and temperature?
Cleaning Basal Media in a Large Tank
Q. Could you please recommend a minimum Solujet concentration, temperature and time for use with a CIP system to wash a large mixing tank dedicated to manufacturing DMEM-F12 basal media.
A. Without actually doing a study with your exact sprayballs and flow rates, I cannot give you precise time, temperatures and concentrations. I can give you some guidelines based on general experience with medical device cleaning validation.
