Thermoshield Basix Laboratory Detergent – 5L

The Dr. Schumacher Thermoshield Basix Laboratory Detergent – 5L is a highly alkaline, surfactant-free liquid cleaner designed for the chemo-thermal reprocessing of surgical instruments, medical devices, and laboratory glassware in washer-disinfectors. Engineered for professional use in hospitals, dental practices, laboratories, and pharmaceutical settings, this detergent delivers exceptional cleaning performance against blood and protein-based contaminants due to its high alkalinity (pH >10 at recommended use concentrations). Certified to ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 13485 standards, Thermoshield Basix incorporates corrosion inhibitors for excellent material compatibility, protecting both instruments and machines. Its concentrated formula and compatibility with Miele machines make it a reliable and cost-effective choice for automated cleaning processes.

Key Features

• Powerful Cleaning Performance: Highly alkaline formula (pH >10) effectively removes blood, protein, and other organic residues, ensuring thorough cleaning of surgical instruments, dental tools, and laboratory glassware in washer-disinfectors.

• Surfactant-Free Composition: Eliminates foaming issues, ensuring efficient cleaning in automated systems without residue buildup, ideal for high-throughput reprocessing.
