United States of America
Alconox supplies critical cleaning liquids and powders worldwide for precise sanitisation for a wide variety of industries that include biotechnology, healthcare, laboratory, medical device, and pharmaceutical.
Used to clean equipment such as tanks, blenders, and mixers, Alconox’s products consistantly remove tough residues. Each high-quality detergent is made in the US and has a precise formula designed to meet global healthcare and hospital cleaning criteria.
Aqueous, biodegradable cleaners for manual, soak, machine, and automated washing
Aqueous cleaning is used for a wide variety of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, from tablet presses to stainless steel mixing tanks. These cleaners help ensure maximum performance by using surfactants, which are wetting agents that allow cleaning solutions to access hard-to-reach cracks and crevices.
Alconox’s aqueous formulas range from acidic to basic and high-emulsifying to low-foaming. Available in powder or liquid form, the detergents are economical and biodegradable with a low-environmental impact.

Critical detergents for pharmaceutical hard surface cleaning applications
For cleaning in the pharmaceutical industry, Alconox’s detergents handle salts metallic, pigments, contact surfaces, and inorganic, protein, or membrane residues. While these substances are tough to clean due to resistance, a very dilute solution of Alconox’s cleaners effectively removes contaminants from glass, plastic, steel, and porcelain.
Citrajet is a low-foaming concentrated acid cleaner used for removal of salts, scales, metal oxides, and inorganic residues. Free of phosphates, this liquid detergent is designed for washing and rinsing for manual and ultrasound, power spray systems, and laboratory washers. It is available in 1gal bottles, a 5gal jerrycan, or 15gal, 30gal, and 55gal drums.
Citranox liquid acid cleaner and detergent is suitable for trace metal analysis applications. It is available in 1qt and 1gal bottles, a 5gal jerrycan, or 15gal and 55gal drums. Citranox is used in a cleaning circuit, rather than machine washers.
For cleaning contact surfaces through manual, ultrasonic, soak, or clean-in-place methods, Alcojet and Solujet are recommended for glass, rubber, metal, and ceramic. These low-foaming detergents are non-ionic and corrosion inhibited. Alcojet is in powdered form, while Solujet is a liquid cleaner. Liquinox is also suitable for contact surfaces for applications that require a milder solution for manual and ultrasound cleaning.
Tergazyme is used for removal of proteinaceous soils, bodily fluids, blood, and tissue from plastic, fiberglass, metal and glassware. This enzyme-active powdered detergent is concentrated and anionic. It is authorised by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Cleaning validation of pharmaceutical detergents
Alconox’s detergent products have been thoroughly tested for acceptable residue levels on pharmaceutical and medical device surfaces. The company’s customer support team provides advice on the correct use of Alconox products, helping users minimise surface residues and simplifying cleaning validation.
In addition, the Alconox Guide to Critical Cleaning booklet presents detergent recommendations and selection criteria. Free samples provide further opportunities for clients to ensure the detergents are suitable for their application.
The company’s technical support group also offers opportunities for custom-blended and private label detergents.

Alconox to Host Pharmaceutical Critical Cleaning Webinar
Alconox is to host a webinar on pharmaceutical critical cleaning during COVID-19 times.
Cold or Warm Advanced Cleaning Mechanisms for Proteins?
The question: Many of your Tergazyme related TechNotes and recommendations include warm temperatures, which can still denature some hormones and proteins, causing cleaning problems.

Alkaline Soak for Tough Biologic Residues
Alkaline hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that takes place when tough organic residues are exposed to an alkaline solution. Alkaline hydrolysis breaks these residues into smaller more water-soluble and more easily emulsified molecules.
Removing Protein in Pharmaceutical and Biotech Manufacturing
Q. How do you remove protein out of pipes, centrifuges and tanks in a recirculation clean-in-place (CIP) environment with water temperatures averaging 20°C?
High-Foaming Detergents in the Automated Cleaning Line
Can we use high-foaming detergents in an automated cleaning line?
Risk-Based Limits and Pharmaceutical Cleaning
From a pure efficacy perspective, manual cleaning is often better than automated cleaning. High-foaming detergents (better emulsification) may be used and mechanical energy can be applied (scrubbing, soaking, sonication and/or elbow grease of course).
Q&A Perchlorate-Free Detergents
Q) We are looking for a laboratory dishwasher detergent that does not contain perchlorates. One of our end users analyses for trace levels of perchlorates, so we cannot have a detergent that has that type of impurities.
