Thermo Scientific™ PCC-54™ Detergent Concentrate is a high-performance, general-purpose laboratory cleaning agent formulated for the effective removal of biological, chemical, and environmental contaminants from a wide range of laboratory surfaces and equipment. Designed for use on glassware, plastics, quartz cuvettes, porcelain, and metal apparatus, PCC-54 provides thorough cleaning without leaving residues that could interfere with sensitive analytical or research procedures.
This detergent concentrate is a mildly basic blend of anionic and nonionic surfactants that penetrate and lift contaminants from surfaces, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative to harsh traditional cleaning agents such as chromic acid or caustic alcohol solutions.
Key Features and Benefits
Powerful Surfactant-Based Cleaning Action
PCC-54 contains a balanced mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants that effectively remove stubborn residues by penetrating between contaminants and laboratory surfaces.
Suitable for Many Laboratory Materials
Safe and effective for cleaning:
- Glassware and plasticware
- Quartz lenses and cuvettes
- Mirrors and reflectors
- Porcelain mortars and pestles
- Ferrous metal laboratory equipment
Removes a Wide Range of Contaminants
PCC-54 is widely used to eliminate:
- Coomassie blue dye from test tubes and cuvettes
- Blood and serum residues from flasks and beakers
- Colored dyes from porcelain surfaces
- HIV virus contamination from lab surfaces
- Radioactive isotopes from benchtops and instruments
Fully Biodegradable and Residue-Free
The detergent rinses away completely, leaving no film or residue behind, ensuring compatibility with high-sensitivity laboratory applications.
Flexible Cleaning Concentrations
- 2% (v/v) solution for routine laboratory washing
- Warm 20% soaking solution for stubborn dried residues
- Can be mixed with ethyl alcohol for enhanced grease and oil removal
Safer Alternative to Harsh Traditional Cleaners
Unlike strongly acidic or caustic cleaning agents that can damage glassware and pose safety risks, PCC-54 is mildly basic and designed to extend the lifespan of laboratory equipment.
Applications
Thermo Scientific™ PCC-54™ Detergent Concentrate is ideal for:
- Routine cleaning of laboratory glassware
- Decontamination of benches, floors, and instruments
- Removal of protein residues and biological contaminants
- Cleaning dye-stained laboratory equipment
- Radioisotope laboratory surface cleaning
- General laboratory hygiene and maintenance
