  • Bulk solution dispensing for approved facility cleaning procedures
  • Cleaning procedures associated with USP <797> and USP <800> environments, as permitted by facility SOPs
Best-Practice Use:
  • Follow approved procedures: Use TX3290 according to the manufacturer's instructions, applicable SDS, and facility cleaning SOPs.
  • Maintain sterile handling: Follow validated procedures when transferring sterile IPA into controlled environments or approved dispensing containers.
  • Control dispensing: Dispense only the required amount using compatible equipment and approved procedures. Close bulk containers promptly after use.
  • Use compatible wipers: Select cleanroom wipers appropriate to the cleanliness requirements of the surface and process.
  • Apply controlled wiping patterns: Use overlapping, unidirectional strokes and replace contaminated wipers as required by the cleaning procedure.
  • Maintain lot traceability: Record lot numbers, opening dates, and applicable in-use expiration dates according to facility quality requirements.
  • Observe flammability precautions: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. Provide appropriate ventilation.
  • Verify surface compatibility: Confirm that IPA is compatible with plastics, coatings, adhesives, sensitive equipment, and other materials being cleaned.
  • Respect required contact times: Where a validated sanitation or disinfection procedure specifies wet-contact time, follow that procedure and applicable product-label requirements.
Selection Notes (TX3290 vs. Other Sterile IPA Options)
  • One-gallon bottles vs. trigger sprayers: TX3290 is suitable for facilities requiring larger volumes of sterile IPA, while trigger spray bottles offer convenient point-of-use application.
  • Sterile vs. non-sterile IPA: Sterile IPA is commonly selected for more contamination-sensitive processes and controlled environments. Non-sterile IPA may be appropriate for less critical applications based on facility SOPs.
  • 70% IPA vs. other cleaning agents: IPA is commonly used for surface cleaning and compatible residue removal. It does not replace detergents or sporicidal agents when those chemistries are required by a validated cleaning program.
  • Bulk dispensing vs. pre-wetted wipers: Bulk IPA permits flexible dispensing, while pre-wetted cleanroom wipers offer controlled solution loading and reduced handling at the point of use.
  • Pharmaceutical applications: Facilities operating under USP <797> or USP <800> should select and use cleaning agents according to applicable standards, validated procedures, and documented contamination-control requirements.
  • Shipping considerations: TX3290 requires Ground-only Hazmat shipment to a commercial address with the applicable Hazmat fee.

Important Application Note: Sterile processing and surface disinfection efficacy are separate considerations. TX3290 undergoes controlled manufacturing, filtration, and gamma irradiation to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6; however, this sterility assurance applies to the processed product and should not be interpreted as proof of its ability to disinfect environmental surfaces or achieve a specific microbial reduction. Surface disinfection claims require appropriate efficacy testing and, where applicable, regulatory authorization for the intended use. Although 70% IPA is commonly used in cleanroom cleaning and contamination-control programs, sterile processing alone does not establish validated surface disinfection performance. TX3290 should not be assumed to provide sporicidal activity or replace the cleaning, disinfection, and sporicidal rotation required by a facility's SOP. Confirm the intended application, product regulatory status, surface compatibility, validated procedures, and required wet-contact times before incorporating TX3290 into a controlled-environment cleaning program.

Texwipe® TX3290 Sterile 70% Isopropanol (IPA) Solution — USP-Grade Blend, 0.22 µm Filtered, Double-Bagged & Gamma Sterilized (1 Gallon, 4/Case)
Sterile (SAL 10-6) 70% v/v IPA USP-grade IPA + purified water 0.22 µm filtered Double-bagged 1 gal (3.8 L) x 4

1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

In sterile suites, "alcohol" is not just a commodity — it becomes part of your contamination control routine, transfer practice, and glove hygiene discipline. TX3290 is designed to remove many surface contaminants while evaporating with extremely low residue, without forcing facilities to blend, filter, sterilize, and QC in-house alcohol/water mixtures.

The practical value is consistency: defined composition (70% v/v), sterile processing to SAL 10-6, lot coding with expiration, and shipment documentation that supports receiving controls and QA recordkeeping.


2. What this solution is for
  • Routine sterile wipe-downs of equipment, benches, carts, and transfer items prior to introduction into controlled environments
  • Pass-through wipe-down programs where sterile presentation and packaging controls matter
  • Gloved-hand sanitization steps when defined by facility SOP (coverage + contact time + change triggers)
  • High-consumption cleaning points where gallon format improves economy and reduces frequent small-container change-outs

3. Selection rationale
  • Composition control: 70% by volume USP-grade isopropanol with 30% USP-purified water for repeatable program results.
  • Filtration step: Filtered through a 0.22 µm filter before filling to support critical-environment use.
  • Sterile assurance: Gamma irradiated to SAL 10-6 with independent QC audits for sterility assurance (per manufacturer documentation).
  • Transfer discipline: Double-bagged in solvent-safe bags with a sealed poly bag case liner for controlled introduction.
  • Lot traceability: Lot-coded with expiration date; shipments accompanied by lot-specific certificates (processing + compliance).
  • Economical format: Gallon bottles support bulk use where programs consume sterile IPA heavily.
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
SOSCleanroom supports customers who need dependable, best-in-class cleanroom consumables. In critical environments, we do not recommend "good enough" substitutes when process risk, product integrity, and compliance expectations are on the line.

4. Materials and construction
  • Solution: 70% v/v USP-grade isopropanol + 30% USP-purified water
  • Filtration: 0.22 µm filtered prior to filling
  • Sterilization method: Gamma irradiation (SAL 10-6)
  • Packaging: Filled into cleaned containers; double-bagged (solvent-safe) with case liner (per manufacturer documentation)
  • Traceability: Lot-coded with expiration date

5. Specifications in context

The operational risk with sterile alcohol is rarely the chemistry — it is process control: how you stage it, dispense it, wet surfaces (or wipers), and manage contact time without over-wetting seams, edges, or hidden cavities.

8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is a suggested starting point for SOP development and operator training. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain QA approval before implementation. Always follow your facility contamination control strategy and manufacturer instructions.
  • Stage with intent: Use a packaging step-down sequence (outer bag → inner bag → bottle) consistent with your pass-through and room-grade boundaries.
  • Dispense with control: Define your facility method (pour bottle, dispenser, or decanting controls).
  • Sanitization (facility-defined): If used for gloved-hand sanitization, specify coverage, contact time, and glove change triggers.
  • Wiper-first technique: Wet the wiper rather than spraying directly onto equipment seams, ports, or hidden cavities.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace bottle when packaging integrity is compromised, labeling/expiration is unclear, or point-of-use controls cannot be maintained.
Suggested pairings: wipers, swabs, and gloves for sterile IPA workflows
Sterile IPA performs best when paired with the right wipe media and detail tools so wetting, contact time, and soil removal stay consistent across operators.

9. Common failure modes
  • Over-wetting critical equipment: Spraying directly onto seams/ports can drive solvent into inaccessible areas.
  • Contact time not controlled: "Quick wipe and move on" creates inconsistent results; define a repeatable method and train to it.
  • Cross-contact at dispensing point: Bottle neck/cap and dispensing accessories become contamination vectors without a defined handling method.
  • Packaging boundary errors: Outer packaging introduced too far into controlled areas increases debris and touch events.
  • Documentation gaps: Not capturing lot/expiration in receiving and point-of-use controls creates avoidable QA pain during investigations.

10. Other solutions to consider

11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • Annex 1 contamination control strategy: Alcohol is typically a foundational disinfectant step; packaging/transfer discipline supports controlled introduction expectations.
  • USP sterile compounding workflows: Sterile 70% IPA is commonly used for surface and gloved-hand sanitization when required by facility SOPs.
  • Documentation maturity: Lot-coded product with certificates supports QA recordkeeping and investigation readiness.
  • Operational efficiency: Bulk gallon format supports high-consumption points (dispensing controls must be defined).
