Places for Use:
Clinical and Reference labs:
Use Bleach-Rite® to clean / disinfect counters, sinks, and on numerous instruments and analyzers, centrifuges, cryostats (in accordance with their manufacturers’ specifications).
General hospital and physician office:
Areas for use include ER, OR, ICU, radiology, nursing stations, patient rooms, clinics, dialysis and outpatient. Often used to disinfect counters, sinks, blood glucose monitors, outer sides of equipment, IV poles, bed railings, probes, blood pressure cuffs, mammography equipment, carts, wheelchairs, gurneys, EMS backboards, point of care instruments (in accordance with their manufacturers' specifications).
Research, Biotech and Pharma labs:
Use Bleach-Rite® for disinfection of instruments used in molecular analysis, gene sequencing, and to clean / disinfect centrifuges, cryostats, freezers, counters, sinks (in accordance with their manufacturers' specifications).
Veterinary:
Uses include disinfection of animal equipment, cages, treatment areas, counters, sinks. Tests at an independent lab showed that Bleach-Rite® kills Canine Parvovirus and Feline Panleukopenia virus in two minutes against these animal-borne viruses (in accordance with their manufacturers' specifications).
Benefits:
Simplify Inspections:
If labs / hospitals mix bleach in-house it must be mixed daily since the bleach loses potency in 24 hours; managers have to monitor the dates mixed and make the data available for inspections. With Bleach-Rite®, inspections are smoother and manager oversight is not required as Bleach-Rite® contains stabilized bleach with an 18-month shelf life and expiration date on each bottle.
Save Staff Time and Lower Risk:
With Bleach-Rite® Spray, valuable lab employees don’t spend time mixing bleach and instead focus on critical tasks. The lab benefits because risk is reduced and safety improved. Why? If lab staff forgets to mix concentrated bleach daily, or if the concentrated bleach is not strong enough so that the 1:10 dilution is weaker than 0.525%, lab staff using those bottles do not achieve disinfection throughout the lab. Since Bleach-Rite® Spray is pre-diluted at the 1:10 concentration, it achieves disinfection when used according to the label directions.
Technical Information:
Use to clean / disinfect hard non-porous surfaces and to pre-clean / decontaminate; not to be used as a sterilant or on any surface or instrument to be introduced directly into the human body.
