TX650 ready-to-use trigger spray bottle (sterile, gamma-irradiated).
Practical solutions in a critical environment
Disinfectants do not fail because the bottle was “wrong.” They fail when contact time is not achieved, when wiping technique re-spreads soil,
or when teams lose documentation control across shifts. TX650 is designed to reduce those variables: a ready-to-use, sterile, gamma-irradiated
quaternary ammonium disinfectant in a trigger spray format that supports consistent application and routine documentation.
SOSCleanroom supports ongoing Texwipe disinfectant programs with continuity of supply and stable documentation sets, so teams can standardize
cleaning rotations and reduce change-control churn.
What this product is used for
- Cleaning and disinfecting hard, non-porous surfaces (equipment exteriors, work tables, carts, racks, shelves, stainless, glass, plastics).
- Routine disinfection of small surfaces and touch points, especially where teams want a sterile, ready-to-use disinfectant format.
- Facility disinfectant rotation programs that require repeatable wet contact time and consistent application technique.
Why customers consider this product
- Ready-to-use and sterile: avoids dilution errors and supports aseptic workflows.
- Gamma-irradiated and 0.2 µm filtered: aligned to controlled-environment handling expectations.
- One-step cleaner/disinfectant: built to clean and disinfect in one process sequence.
- Fragrance free and dye free: reduces nuisance odors and avoids unnecessary additives.
- Label designed for accountability: supports recording open date and initials for practical documentation control.
- Program fit: published efficacy claims and contact times support regulated cleaning strategies (verify current label/TDS for organisms and dwell time required).
Materials, composition, and build
TX650 is a quaternary ammonium disinfectant solution (ready-to-use) supplied in a 22 oz trigger spray bottle. Per the Safety Data Sheet (SDS),
the disinfecting actives include:
- Quaternary ammonium compounds, benzyl-C12-16-alkyldimethyl, chlorides (≤ 0.3%).
- Dimethyldioctylammonium chloride (≤ 0.1%).
Texwipe describes TX650 as fragrance free, dye free, 0.2 micron filtered, gamma irradiated, and sterile validated according to AAMI guidelines.
Texwipe also describes TX650 as mildly alkaline (pH 8–11) in hazardous-drug workflows and positions the chemistry for stainless-steel compatibility
compared with more aggressive oxidizers, depending on the surface and facility acceptance criteria.

Performance and cleanliness considerations
In real rooms, performance is driven by wet contact time and wipe discipline. Texwipe publishes organism-specific contact times; many listed
claims are shown with 10-minute dwell, and at least one virus claim (HIV-1) is shown with a 2-minute dwell. Operationally, the most defensible
approach is to follow the current EPA label/TDS for the organisms and contact time required for your cleaning program and keep surfaces visibly wet
for the full dwell.
TX650 is commonly used as the disinfectant step in a broader sequence. If your program is sensitive to residues or wants a consistent “finish,”
facilities often pair quat disinfectants with a follow-up sterile 70% IPA wipe step, using disciplined, one-direction strokes and fresh wipe faces.
Texwipe publishes a protocol sequence that uses TX650 and sterile 70% IPA pre-wetted wipers in an organized method.
Compatibility note: always validate on your real surfaces. Labels, inks, adhesives, and some coatings can behave differently than bare stainless or glass.
Treat compatibility checks as a qualification step, not a judgment call on the production floor.
Packaging, sterility, traceability, and country of origin
- Pack size: 12 bottles per case; 22 oz trigger spray bottles.
- Sterility approach: Published as gamma-irradiated; Texwipe describes sterile validation per AAMI guidance and references an SAL framework for sterile solutions in supporting literature.
- Traceability cues: Functional label supports documenting open date and operator initials; use it as part of your zone control and investigation readiness.
- Shelf life control: Manufacturer TDS notes a 2-year shelf life (expiration date on label), including after opening/spraying, subject to regulatory review cycles.
- Country of origin: Made in USA (as published in Texwipe TDS).
Best-practice use
A wipe-down pattern that holds up in audits
- Apply to the wiper for control: In sensitive zones, spray TX650 onto a sterile dry wiper until dampened (not dripping), then wipe the surface. This helps limit overspray and keeps wetting more repeatable.
- One direction, overlap, and rotate: Straight strokes with overlap; rotate to a fresh wipe face frequently to avoid re-depositing soil.
- Keep the surface wet for the full dwell: If the surface dries early, re-apply per your procedure to maintain the required wet contact time.
- Work clean-to-less-clean: Top-to-bottom and inside-to-outside patterns reduce cross-contamination.
- Use a finishing step when your program calls for it: Many facilities follow quat disinfectants with sterile 70% IPA wipe-downs to support a consistent visual finish and routine residue control.
- Train documentation discipline: Date-open and initials fields exist for a reason—use them to maintain accountability and investigation readiness.
Receiving/QA tip: on arrival, confirm case count, inspect the bottle collar and trigger for leaks, confirm legible lot/expiration information,
and file the current TDS/SDS revisions in your disinfectant binder so cleaning rotations stay aligned to the correct documentation.
Common failure modes
- Contact time not achieved: surfaces flash-dry before dwell is met, so the label expectations are not satisfied.
- Technique re-spreads soil: circular scrubbing, backtracking, or reusing dirty wipe faces redistributes contamination.
- Overspray into airflow: misting can move chemistry into unintended areas; control nozzle settings and prefer wipe application where required.
- Documentation gaps: open-date and zone control not maintained, creating audit and investigation weakness.
- Unqualified compatibility: labels, inks, adhesives, and coatings react unexpectedly because the surface set was not qualified before deployment.
Closest competitors
In sterile quat disinfectant evaluations, practical comparisons focus on EPA label breadth, contact times, sterilization method, packaging discipline,
and how well the supplier supports documentation and continuity.
- Decon Labs quat disinfectant programs: compare sterile presentation, label claims, contact time expectations, and packaging format.
- Other sterile quat disinfectants used in cleanroom rotations: compare dwell time, residue behavior, compatibility notes, and certificate support.
- Rotation partners (other chemistries): facilities often rotate quats with other disinfectant classes per internal strategy—qualify against your organisms and regulatory expectations.
Critical environment fit for this product
TX650 is positioned for controlled environments across biotech, hospitals/pharmacies, medical device, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is commonly
used where sterile, ready-to-use disinfectants reduce variability and support documentation discipline in day-to-day cleaning rotations, including workflows
that overlap USP <797> and USP <800> practices.
If your environment is highly sensitive to residues, aerosols, or surface reactivity, deploy TX650 using a qualified wiping method, train consistent stroke
discipline, and confirm acceptance criteria in your quality system before scaling facility-wide.
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.
