Solujet

Solujet cleaner is the detergent to consider for your next new pharmaceutical cleaning project or when you want to take the opportunity to improve when you are revalidating your existing cleaning system.

Q: We’re looking for a detergent solution like Liqui-Jet™2 Instrument Detergent by Steris. We need it to clean the drain in our microbiology autoclave, so it should be able to target any media or agar that may be clogging the drain.…

Q. We are looking for a product that is phosphate-free to use in our automatic microplate washer. Currently we use Tergazyme. Removal of salts and antibodies (proteins) needed. Liquid preferred.
A. For automated cleaning of microplates use phosphate-free, low foaming liquid Solujet® for cleaning. Solujet® contains chelating agents that can remove salts and high alkalinity for alkaline hydrolysis and cleaning of proteins.

Q. Using Detojet detergent at high concentration is damaging the silicon diffraction gratings without cleaning it sufficiently. I have also tried the Luminox solution but it does not clean the surface adequately. Are there any products offered by Alconox, Inc.that are low foaming, so they can be used in the parts washer, that will effectively clean silicon without damaging it?

For best results removing water insoluble pharmaceutical residues in a labware washer there are several factors to pay attention to:

1) Be sure to load glassware separated from other glassware in a way that will not trap wash solution between pieces of touching glassware.

2) Be sure to load glassware tilted in a position that will drain all surfaces so as to avoid any upturned “cup” that will retain wash solution and carry it in the rinse cycle where it gets redeposited all over other glassware – a classic example of this happens when you load a graduated cylinder straight upright and the base of the cylinder holds wash solution – it is best to load graduated cylinders at a bit of an angle.
