Chemical Description:
Alcotabs® Critical Cleaning Detergent Tablets consist primarily of a homogeneous
blend of sodium linear alkylaryl sulfonate, phosphates, carbonate and excipient ingredients
added to aid in tabletting. Alcotabs are anionic in nature.
Cleaning Validation Methods:
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface. No significant
change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH,
conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration, phosphorus
concentration, anionic surfactant concentration using inexpensive detergent water testing kits,
surface tension, and surface analysis (for example, Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) is
surface is metal, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) if any other surface. Do not try to
do this testing with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) because one could in fact have
some amount of residue present but it would never be detected by EDS!
