Micronclean ALPHA Sterile Disinfectant

A blend of quaternary ammonium compounds form this broad spectrum disinfectant, which is suitable for regular use in cleanrooms and controlled environments.

The formulation has low toxicity and does not contain any hazardous aldehydes or chlorine-generating compounds. Alpha is colourless and fragrance-free.

This product is filled and capped in ISO Class 5 uni-directional airflow cabinets, and packed within an ISO class 7 cleanroom. The disinfectant is filtered through a 0.2 micron filter at the point of filling and the product is gamma irradiated with a minimum dose of 25kGy.

Sold in ready-to-use (RTU) formats: 500ml Trigger Sprays and 5L Bottles, as well as a 50ml concentrate format. Also available in a pre-wetted sterile pouch wipe. All formats double-bagged.

Validated to be used in rotation with Micronclean Beta, an amine-based disinfectant.

What is the difference between QUATs and Amines?

Micronclean Alpha uses Quaternary Ammonium compounds as its active ingredient. These have a positive charge, which attracts the bacteria and long alkyl chains, so that they pierce the cell wall of micro-organisms. Quaternary Ammonium compounds also initiate autolysis, where a cell is destroyed through the action of its own enzymes.

Micronclean Beta, on the other hand, uses a triamine as its active ingredient. This pentrates the cell walls of micro-organisms and attacks the RNA, affecting its ability to replicate.

Because Alpha and Beta have different modes of action, as described above, using them in rotation with each other can prevent the long-term build-up of resistance.
