Used to Clean:
Pipettes and tubes with syphon pipette washers in hospitals, clinical, educational, R&D and industrial laboratories and cosmetics manufacturing equipment. Authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. Passes inhibitory residue test for water analysis.
Soil, grit, grime, grease, fats, oils, blood, tissue, salt deposits, particulates, chemicals, solvents and radioisotopes.
Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, metal, stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, plastic, rubber and fiberglass. Can be used on soft metals such as aluminum, zinc and magnesium if rinsed promptly. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
Syphon pipette and tube rinser.
To wash pipettes in syphon-type washers: Submerge pipettes immediately after use in a 1% ALCONOX, LIQUI-NOX, or TERG-A-ZYME solution. Let soak in jar until enough pipettes accumulate to fill holder.
Drop ALCOTAB into the rinser. Place the holder with pipettes into rinser. ALCOTABS will dissolve (in cold or warm water) and effervesce, producing a detergent solution that passes up and down through the bores and around the pipettes. Rinsing automatically follows after the tablet has dissolved.
For analytical or tissue culture work, use distilled, deionized, or purified water for all or final rinse.

ALCOTABS consists primarily of a homogeneous blend of sodium linear alkylaryl sulfonate, phosphates, carbonate and excipient ingredients added to aid in tabletting. ALCOTABS are anionic in nature.
Cleaning Validation Methods:
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH, conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration, phosphorus concentration, anionic surfactant concentration using inexpensive detergent water testing kits, surface tension, and surface analysis.
