New Disinfection & Sanitisation Kit for Downstream Processing Equipment and Lab Instruments

Alfa Wassermann Separation Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of its new kit for the disinfection and sanitisation, designed to simplify treatment of downstream processing equipment and laboratory instruments. AlfaSIP-50D produces a solution of chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in enough water to carry out eight to ten disinfection
cycles on an Alfa Wassermann continuous flow ultracentrifuge.
A package containing a membrane envelope is opened and the envelope is immersed in water. Once produced, the solution remains at active strength for a minimum of two weeks, ready for immediate use. The concentration can be checked using simple test strips. The patented, membrane-based micro-reactor envelope technology ensures that only the pure gas is diffused into the water and the equipment. The production system ensures that no free chlorine can be created.
AlfaSIP is time saving. Ten to twenty minutes after filling the equipment to be disinfected, the solution can be rinsed out with a small volume of water and the eradication of the chlorine dioxide checked by test strips. There is no heating nor cooling cycle.
Just 100 ppm of chlorine dioxide is produced with the AlfaSIP-50D kit. The activated gas attacks S-S bonds in biological structures and nothing else, so only a minute quantity is required compared to that necessary with other sanitising / disinfecting agents.
