Contrad® 70 is an emulsion of anionic and non-ionic surfactants in an alkaline aqueous base.
Contrad® 70 works by soaking, scrubbing, or in ultrasonic cleaning baths. It removes virtually any contaminant from every surface, even silicones, dried proteins, carbon, most resins, waxes, and oils. The formulation is totally rinsable, eliminating detergent build-up that interferes with analysis, tissue culture, and other critical procedures. It is also extremely effective when used as an ambient soak solution, with no need to scrub. Its activity can be accelerated by heating, agitation, and ultrasonics, or by increasing concentrations. Used solutions may be disposed straight to drain providing they have not been used to remove contaminants that are in themselves pollutants.
