Absorbond® Polyester Non-Woven TX716 Large Cleaning Validation Swab with Notched Handle, Non-Sterile

Texwipe’s cleaning validation cleanroom swabs are used to determine the effectiveness of cleaning protocols as specified by the US FDA. HPLC/ UV-Vis Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis are different methods used to validate these cleaning processes.

Texwipe offers the following cleaning validation swabs:

  • Absorbond® Polyester Non-Woven Large SwabTX716 - suitable for HPLC analysis
  • Alpha®Polyester Knit Series - TX714K, TX761K - suitable for use in TOC analysis  
  • Alpha®Polyester Knit Series - TX715 - suitable for HPLC analysis using a UV detector analytical method

Benefits

  • All Cleaning Validation swabs are precision-manufactured and constructed to exacting and consistent tolerances without the use of adhesives for superior performance
  • Notched, rigid 100% polypropylene, break-away handle allows the head to be placed into the vial with minimal handling and contamination and provides excellent chemical resistance
  • Lot coded for traceability and quality control
  • TX716: The nonwoven polyester head provides excellent recovery rates by entrapping contaminants in the swab structure without adhering to the swab head, allowing complete release into the diluent
  • TX714K, TX761K: Certified Low TOC level (<50 μg/L, <50 ppb) ensures consistency in swab background contribution
  • Double layered, double knit polyester head entraps contaminants in the knit structure during sampling, allowing maximum contaminant collection and release into the diluent to provide for excellent recovery rates
  • TX715: This swab is additionally processed to reduce the UV background. Proprietary cleaning process reduces interference in the 230 nm range, resulting in an improved limit of detection
