Introduction to Laboratory Cleaning Agents

2025-09-01 6

Laboratory cleaning agents are specially designed for lab equipment and glassware. They effectively remove contaminants and chemical residues, ensuring experimental accuracy and equipment safety. Based on the type of contaminants, cleaning agents are categorized as follows.

 

1. Acidic Cleaning Agents

Used to remove alkaline deposits, scale, and rust. These contain hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and similar components.

2. Alkaline Cleaning Agents

Effective against grease, proteins, and other organic residues. Common ingredients include sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

3. Organic Solvent Cleaning Agents

Target stubborn organic substances like oils and waxes. These contain alcohols, ketones, and other solvents.

4. Enzymatic Cleaning Agents

Gently break down biological macromolecules (e.g., proteins), making them ideal for biological labs.

5. Deionized Cleaning Agents

Remove metal ion residues, suitable for cleaning precision instruments.

6. Disinfectant Cleaning Agents

Contain alcohol or sodium hypochlorite to kill microorganisms and prevent cross-contamination.
