Thin tube cleaning
Q. How can I use Citranox to clean thin tubes or needles?
A. To clean thin tubes, the best thing is to get cleaning solution flowing through the tubes. If you want to simultaneously clean the inside and outside of the tube, you need to flow solution through the tube under immersion. Learn More.
Industrial Laser Chiller Cleaning
Q. Chillers get scale build-up that reduce their heat transfer efficiency, thereby reducing their chiller performance. In particular industrial lasers need good chiller performance.
Therefore, use a 2% Citranox or Citrajet solution to remove calcium scale build-up. Be sure a 100 micron filter of adequate flow rating is installed in the coolant path. Be sure no galvanized pipe is in the system. Learn More.
pH of a 1% Alconox Solution

Tergazyme to Reduce Allergen Cross Contamination
Q. Are there any benefits in using Tergazyme to reduce the risk of allergen cross contamination? As you know, allergens are proteins, so under what conditions might the protease in Tergazyme denature allergen proteins to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
A. Yes. Tergazyme contains a serine endopeptidase protease that will lyse proteins and change their tertiary structure in a way that can reduce their allergenic nature.
