Key Takeaways:
- Lower life-cycle costs – Cleaning an ultrafiltration membrane with a pharmaceutical detergent rather than NaOH can lengthen membrane life, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Greater yield – Cleaning with a pharmaceutical detergent enables greater throughput and more productive operation.
- Formulated to be free-rinsing, pharmaceutical detergents require less rinse water when cleaning.
- Reduced contamination risk – Pharmaceutical detergents are designed to clean more thoroughly, which helps avoid contamination.
- Scientific expertise and support – A formulated detergent like STERIS CIP 150™ Alkaline Process & Research Cleaner comes with technical literature and expert support to keep your operation running efficiently.
