Neodisher Z Laboratory Detergent – 5L

The Neodisher Z Laboratory Detergent – 5L is an acidic, liquid concentrate designed as a neutralising agent and detergent for the automated reprocessing of surgical instruments, medical utensils, and laboratory glassware in washer-disinfectors. Ideal for hospitals, laboratories, and industries such as phosphate and water analysis, this surfactant- and phosphate-free product, based on organic acids, effectively neutralises alkaline residues from prior cleaning steps and removes acid-soluble contaminants. Certified to conform with the European Directive 93/42/EC for medical devices, Neodisher Z ensures exceptional material compatibility and residue-free results, making it suitable for sensitive analytical applications. Its concentrated formula and compatibility with automated systems, including Miele washer-disinfectors, provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for professional hygiene needs.

Key Features

• Acidic Neutralisation: Neutralises carried-over alkaline residues from cleaners like Neodisher FA or LaboClean FLA, ensuring residue-free reprocessing for surgical instruments and laboratory glassware.

• Acid-Soluble Contaminant Removal: Effectively removes lime, discolorations, and other acid-soluble residues, ideal for laboratories where phosphates, nitrogen, or surfactants could interfere with sensitive analyses.

• Surfactant- and Phosphate-Free: Formulated without surfactants, phosphates, phosphoric acid, or nitrogen compounds, preventing interference in analytical examinations and ensuring compliance with stringent laboratory requirements.

• Material Compatibility: Gentle on sensitive materials such as glass, ceramics, stainless steel, and acid-resistant plastics, extending the lifespan of instruments and glassware.

• Concentrated Efficiency: Low use concentration (0.1–0.4% v/v, or 1–4 ml/L) delivers cost-effective performance, with a 5L canister yielding up to 5000 liters of working solution for neutralisation or acidic pre-cleaning.

• Automated Application: Seamlessly integrates with washer-disinfectors via dosing pumps, ensuring precise and consistent neutralisation or cleaning in automated reprocessing cycles.

• Residue-Free Rinsing: Easily rinsed off, recommended with deionised water in the final rinse to prevent water stains, supporting analytical purity in laboratory settings.

• Eco-Conscious Design: Free of environmentally harmful compounds, aligning with sustainable practices in medical and laboratory environments.

• Versatile Applications: Suitable for neutralising alkaline residues in medical utensil reprocessing and acidic pre-cleaning or cleaning of laboratory glassware, particularly in water, phosphate, and environmental analysis labs.

• Certified Compliance: Conforms to the European Directive 93/42/EC for medical devices, ensuring safety and reliability for professional reprocessing applications.

Applications

• Hospitals and Surgical Centres: Neutralises alkaline residues during reprocessing of surgical instruments, anaesthesia utensils, and medical containers, ensuring hygiene and compliance with infection control standards.

• Laboratories: Performs acidic pre-cleaning or cleaning of laboratory glassware in water, phosphate, and environmental analysis labs, preventing contamination in sensitive analytical examinations.

• Phosphate Industry: Ideal for reprocessing glassware where phosphate residues could adulterate results, ensuring analytical accuracy.

• Dental Practices: Supports cleaning of dental instruments, removing acid-soluble residues while maintaining material integrity in automated systems.

• Research Facilities: Ensures residue-free glassware for sensitive water examinations and other analytical applications, supporting reliable research outcomes.

• Volume: 5 liters (plastic canister with tamper-evident screw cap).

• Composition: Based on organic acids (e.g., citric acid, anhydrous); free of surfactants, phosphates, phosphoric acid, and nitrogen compounds.

• pH Value: Acidic (pH <7 at recommended use concentrations).

• Use Concentration:

  • Neutralisation: 0.1–0.2% v/v (1–2 ml/L).

  • Acidic pre-cleaning/cleaning: 0.2–0.4% v/v (2–4 ml/L) at 40–60°C.

• Temperature Range: Suitable for automated reprocessing, with acidic pre-cleaning effective at 40–60°C.

• Applications: Surgical instruments, anaesthesia utensils, containers, surgical shoes, baby bottles, laboratory glassware, and other medical utensils.

• Compatibility: Compatible with all standard washer-disinfectors, including Miele machines.

• Certifications: Conforms to European Directive 93/42/EC, Annex I, for medical devices.
