What is Alnochromix?

Q: I understand that Nochromix is no longer available and I am to contact Alconox Inc. for a replacement?

A: That is correct. Godax Laboratories is no longer operational and NOCHROMIX® cleaner is discontinued. Note all NOCHROMIX® packages have a 2 year from the date of manufacture shelf life.  The date of manufacture can be found printed on each packet.

Alconox Inc. bought the formula to NOCHROMIX® cleaner and is manufacturing the identical product under the name Alnochromix® oxidizing additive to sulfuric acid for glassware cleaning.

Alnochromix cleaner is a concentrated inorganic persulfate based additive to sulfuric acid to make a metal-free and surfactant-free glassware cleaner that is excellent for cleaning glassware used in tissue culture, trace metal, and enzyme kinetics research; as well as other sensitive glass cleaning applications.  It is a nonmetallic, non-carcinogenic, and an easier to dispose replacement for chromic acid.  Pour 1-2 pouches of Alnochromix crystals into 98% concentrated sulfuric acid container (very typically 2.5L or 1 gal capacity).
