Q: I am doing a conductivity study using Alconox detergent. As I test different lots, I am seeing that the pH and Surface Tension listed on the certificate of analysis differs between lots. Do you think these variables affect conductivity enough to alter my results? A: Great question! First, let us say that when running tests on AlconoxⓇ Powdered Precision Cleaner, we … [Read more...] about Advanced Cleaning: Relationship Between Conductivity, Surface Tension and pH

Using conductivity to determine detergent concentration
Q. How is conductivity used to determine how much detergent concentrate to add to a cleaning solution to restore cleaning performance? A. Part of the technical information Alconox, Inc supplies for its brands are detergent concentration versus conductivity curves. By adapting these curves to your conditions and measuring the conductivity, detergent depletion and dilution can … [Read more...] about Using conductivity to determine detergent concentration
