Product Description
Liquinox: Critical Cleaning Liquid Detergent
Liquinox is a concentrated, anionic detergent for manual and ultrasonic cleaning. Free rinsing to give you reliable results without interfering residues. Extremely mild and completely soluble in hard and soft water. USDA authorized. Dilute 1:100. pH 8.5
Alconox products require 2-5 day handling time.
Used to clean: Healthcare instruments, laboratory ware, vacuum equipment, tissue culture
ware, personal protective equipment, sampling apparatus, catheters, tubing, disk drives,
clean rooms, medical devices, optical parts, electronic components, pharmaceutical apparatus,
cosmetics manufacturing equipment, metal castings, forgings and stampings, industrial
parts, pipes, tanks and reactors. Authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat
and poultry plants. Passes inhibitory residue test for water analysis. Used for phosphate
sensitive analysis ware. FDA certified.
Used to remove: Soil, grit, grime, slime, grease, oils, blood, tissue, particulates, deposits,
chemicals and solvents.
Surfaces cleaned: Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, metal, stainless
steel, porcelain, ceramic, plastic, cement and fiberglass. Can be used on soft metals such as
copper, aluminum, zinc and magnesium if rinsed promptly. Used for art restoration.
Corrosion testing may be advisable.
Cleaning method: Soak, brush, sponge, cloth, ultrasonic, flow through clean-in-place. Will
foam—not for spray or machine use.
Directions: Make a fresh 1% solution (2 1/2 Tbsp. per gal., 1 1/4 oz. per gal. or 10 ml per
liter) in cold, warm or hot water. If available, use warm water. Use cold water for blood
stains. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent. Clean by soak,
circulate, wipe or ultrasonic method. Not for spray machines, will foam. RINSE THOROUGHLY—
preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, do final or all rinsing in
distilled, deionized or purified water. For food contact surfaces, rinse with potable water.
Used on a wide range of glass, ceramic, plastic and metal surfaces. Corrosion testing may
be advisable.

Chemical Description:
Liquinox consists primarily of a homogeneous blend of sodium linear alkylaryl sulfonate, sodium
xylene sulfonate, alkanolamide, and ethoxylated alcohol. Liquinox is anionic in nature.
Cleaning Validation Methods:
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface, or test the clean
surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters
measured include: pH, conductivity, UV, TOC, HPLC, sodium concentration, phosphorus
concentration, anionic surfactant concentration using inexpensive detergent water testing
kits, surface tension, and surface analysis. For details, see the Pharmaceutical Cleaning
Validation References at www.alconox.com.
Pharmaceutical cleaning validation for residue identification and detection methods for Liquinox:
