NewGenn Instrument Disinfectant (2x5Ltr)

Product Code: CD005A

<p>\n For decades the most commonly used instrument disinfectants were based on a chemical called glutaraldehyde and most people were content with the antimicrobial performance of such products. However in recent years concerns have arisen over the safety of that chemical for users and certain bacteria in the tuberculosis family have begun to grow in the disinfectant.</p>\n<p>\n Two additional ingredients are used in NewGenn® Instrument Disinfectant that are not used in the other NewGenn products. A biguanide is used to help the positive charged detergent molecules destroy the thick fatty outside wall of the tuberculosis family of bacteria. The second added molecule is orthophthalaldehyde (OPA), a powdered molecule that provides all the kill traditionally seen with glutaraldehyde but without the hazard associated with toxic vapours.</p>\n<p>\n NewGenn® Instrument Disinfectant is a disinfectant rather than a sterilant. It is rapidly sporostatic but

sporocidal activity is unlikely to be achieved in the recommended ten minute immersion time</p>\n<p>\n * NewGenn Instrument Disinfectant is supplied in 5 litre plastic containers packed two per box.</p>\n
