How do you decontaminate your forceps when changing cages?
• Do you place them in an open container of chemical?
• Did you know that chemicals such as chlorine dioxide “gas off” in less than 2 hours rendering them ineffective?
Do you give the forceps enough time to be decontamintated?
• Did you know that most decontaminating chemicals require a 10 minute contact time?
• Did you know that if you just dip forceps in a container of chemical, they will not receive the necessary contact time?
The Forceps Decon Stations from ViraTek offer an easy, effective and consistent way to disinfect forceps. The Decon Station easily fits under hoods and its compact design eliminates spills. It maintains the efficacy of the disinfectant for at least 8 hours and increases the contact time for effective decontamination. The numbered holders ensure that the forceps are rotated properly and the durable PVC construction stands up against chemicals.
