Azowipette Bactericidal Wipes - Drum of 100 Wipes

MAX OF 12 DRUMS PER ORDER

Azowipettes are designed to disinfect hard surfaces and other objects, they are not intended to be used to clear spills, as this will reduce their effectiveness. 70% Isopropyl alcohol is effective against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative vegetative bacteria.

Azowipette cartons should be stored at room temperature. In temperate climates the shelf life of sealed AZOWIPES is almost indefinite. Once opened the actual life will depend upon individual storage conditions. When not in use keep the plastic lid closed.

TESTED AGAINST ORGANISMS

A series of tests have been carried out on this product with regard to how effective it is against various organisms. Each test organism inoculated into a Triptone Soya Broth and incubated overnight at 300C ñ 1 "C.

A Large metal surface similar to hospital surfaces divided into 5cm squares, disinfected using alcohol and allowed to air dry. Each overnight broth of test organisms were diluted 1:1 00 in MRD to represent clean conditions and MRDBA to represent dirty surface conditions.

One of the squares was wiped with a test-alcohol wipe, left for one minute then swabbed with cotton tipped swabs over the full surface of the square. Each Swab was then cultivated and the colonies were then counted and the number of colony forming units (cfu) per swab calculated.

The results showed that the wipes were effective against the following:-

E.Coli,
Coliforms
Listeria
Staphylococcus Aureus,
Presumptive Faecal Streptococci
Enterococcus Faecalis,
Bacilllus Subtilis,
Presumptive Bacillus Careus
Candida Albicans,
MRSA,
Psuedomonas Aeruginosa,
Streptococcus Pyogenis,
Proteus Mirabilis
Presumptive Clostridium Perfringens
Presumptive Entero Bacteriaecae
Yeast
Mould
Salmonella
