SKU shown: TX3273 (32 oz sterile 70% IPA trigger spray).
Practical solutions in a critical environment
Cleanroom wipe-downs fail most often for simple reasons: inconsistent wetting, “mystery” spray bottles with unclear history, and gaps in lot documentation during audits or deviations.
TX3273 is designed to reduce those variables. It is a sterile, ready-to-use 70% isopropanol (IPA) solution packaged in a fully assembled 32 fl oz trigger sprayer, double-bagged for controlled entry, with lot coding and an expiration date to support traceable use in critical areas.
What this product is used for
- Routine surface cleaning and residue removal on compatible materials (benches, carts, pass-through staging, equipment exteriors).
- Wipe-down of items entering controlled environments (phones, notebooks, tools, secondary containers) where your program calls for sterile alcohol.
- Glove wipe steps in sterile suites when your SOP specifies sterile IPA as part of an aseptic workflow.
- Standardized wetting for cleanroom wipers (often used to achieve repeatable “spray-to-wipe-to-surface” coverage across shifts).
Why customers consider this product
- Sterile, documented, and audit-friendly: gamma-irradiated sterile alcohol with lot traceability and an expiration date.
- Repeatable application: fully assembled trigger sprayer supports consistent wetting without ad-hoc decanting.
- Cleanroom-ready packaging: double-bagged packaging supports controlled entry and cleaner handling at the gowning boundary.
- Low-residue cleaning behavior: 70% IPA is widely selected for wipe-downs where fast evaporation and minimal residue are important (surface-dependent).
- Program continuity: SOSCleanroom’s long-standing relationship with ITW Texwipe supports steady supply and predictable documentation sets for receiving and QA review.
Materials, composition, and build
TX3273 is a 70% by volume USP-grade isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) and 30% USP-purified water solution.
The solution is submicron/0.2 µm filtered and filled into cleaned containers, then double-bagged and gamma-irradiated for sterility assurance.
The delivery format is a fully assembled 32 oz (946 mL) trigger spray bottle designed for controlled dispensing. Texwipe describes an adjustable, non-atomizing spray with stream delivery or coarse spray options.
Texwipe also describes identification features such as 5 color indicator dots to support bottle segregation in multi-chemical environments.

Performance and cleanliness considerations
In cleanrooms, “performance” for 70% IPA usually means: predictable evaporation, low residue, and reliable control of handling variability (who sprayed what, when, and with which bottle).
TX3273 is positioned as a standardized, sterile, traceable alcohol format for those outcomes. It is commonly paired with low-linting cleanroom wipers when your process calls for a controlled wet wipe step.
| Characteristic |
What it means for use |
Published basis (typical/statement) |
| Residue (NVR) |
Helps reduce film risk on optics, stainless, and critical assemblies when surfaces are compatible and wiping is controlled. |
Typical limit referenced: does not exceed 5 mg (0.01%) / 5 mg in 50 mL (TDS). |
| Sterility assurance |
Supports sterile-area entry and documentation expectations where sterile alcohol is specified by SOP. |
Gamma irradiated; SAL 10-6 (manufacturer TDS references AAMI guidance). |
| Endotoxin control |
Relevant for medical device and aseptic workflows that track bioburden/endotoxin risk on handled surfaces. |
Manufacturer sheet references endotoxin testing and an FDA guideline limit statement (medical device context). |
| Fill/pack environment |
Reduces variability compared to in-house decanting, supporting more repeatable incoming quality and use consistency. |
TDS states filled in an ISO Class 5 environment; double-bagged in solvent-safe bags. |
| SDS hazard profile |
Drives EHS controls: ignition source control, ventilation, eye protection, and spill response discipline. |
SDS classifies as highly flammable; eye irritation hazard; may cause drowsiness/dizziness (single exposure). |
Packaging, sterility, traceability, and country of origin
TX3273 is supplied as 12 poly bottles per case, each a fully assembled 32 oz trigger sprayer.
Packaging is described as double-bagged for contamination control and controlled entry practices.
The solution is described as 0.2 µm filtered and gamma-irradiated to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
For QA and receiving: each bottle is described as lot coded with an expiration date.
Manufacturer documentation commonly references certificates of compliance and analysis, and (for sterile products) irradiation documentation.
Country of origin: not stated for TX3273 in the source basis listed below. If your program requires COO confirmation, treat it as a receiving requirement and request it as part of supplier documentation before qualification.
Best-practice use
Technique guidance: sterile IPA wipe-downs that stay consistent across shifts
- Prefer “spray-to-wipe” in critical zones: wet a compatible low-linting cleanroom wiper first, then wipe the surface. This reduces overspray and helps keep droplets out of airflow paths and open components.
- Pick stream vs. coarse spray intentionally: use stream for precise wetting. Use coarse spray for larger areas, then wipe to distribute evenly and remove loosened residues.
- Wipe pattern discipline: straight-line, overlapping strokes. Rotate to a fresh wipe face frequently.
- Control bottle handling: keep pass-through handling consistent and avoid setting bottles on non-controlled surfaces after introduction into higher-grade areas.
- Compatibility check: confirm compatibility with plastics, elastomers, coatings, inks, and adhesives before broad deployment.
Cleaning vs. disinfection note: 70% IPA is widely used for cleaning and residue removal. For validated disinfection or sporicidal control, follow your site-approved disinfectant rotation, wet-contact times, and documentation requirements.
Always reference the current SDS for handling, ventilation, ignition-source control, spill response, and disposal guidance.
Common failure modes
- Overspray and aerosol risk in sensitive work: move to “spray-to-wipe” where needed.
- Cross-use bottle confusion: maintain segregation and labeling so “one bottle becomes one chemistry.”
- Dirty trigger/nozzle handling: treat the sprayer head as a critical contact point.
- Residue redeposition: rotate wipe faces and do not polish with a loaded wipe.
- Material incompatibility: qualify before broad rollout to avoid stress-cracking or coating haze.
Closest competitors
Closest alternatives are typically other sterile 70% IPA trigger-spray programs in comparable bottle sizes and documentation depth. Compare sterility method, case pack, and certificate availability—not just concentration.
- Decon Labs CiDehol ST (sterile 70% IPA formats): validate bottle format and documentation for your SOP.
- Fisherbrand / house-brand sterile 70% IPA trigger sprays: confirm sterility documentation and traceability depth for audits.
- Other cleanroom alcohol programs (Avantor/VWR or specialty suppliers): compare packaging discipline and certificate availability.
Critical environment fit for this product
TX3273 is typically selected for cleanrooms and controlled environments where sterile alcohol is part of a documented wipe-down process and where lot traceability is expected.
It is a strong fit when your operation wants fewer variables: consistent bottle format, consistent packaging, and consistent supporting documentation.
SOSCleanroom’s long-standing partnership with ITW Texwipe supports that reliability emphasis through continuity of supply and predictable documentation sets.
SOSCleanroom note about SOP's
The Technical Vault is written to help customers make informed contamination-control decisions and improve day-to-day handling technique.
It is not your facility’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), batch record, or validation protocol.
Customers are responsible for establishing, training, and enforcing SOPs that fit their specific risks, products, equipment, cleanroom classification, and regulatory obligations.
Always confirm material compatibility, cleanliness suitability, sterility requirements, and acceptance criteria using your internal quality system and documented methods.
If you adapt any technique guidance from this entry, treat it as a starting template. Your team should review and approve the final method, then qualify it for your specific surfaces,
solvents, cleanliness limits, inspection methods, and risk profile. In short: use these best-practice suggestions to strengthen your SOPs—not to replace them.
