Texwipe TX3360 HPLC Cleaning Validation Kit for 12 Samples (TX718 Alpha Polyester Sampling Swabs + 40 mL Vials)

Texwipe TX3360 is an organized HPLC/UV-Vis cleaning validation sampling kit built to reduce sampling variability, handling contamination, and chain-of-custody gaps when collecting surface residue samples for chromatography-based analysis. Each kit combines pre-washed 40 mL clear borosilicate glass vials with bonded septa caps, TX718 large Alpha® polyester knit sampling swabs with a notched break-away handle, and cleanroom-compatible vial labels—all assembled in a clean, double-bagged format inside a cleanroom-compatible polypropylene box for secure transport from production to the lab.

Texwipe (an ITW company) designs cleaning validation consumables as engineered sampling tools—not commodity swabs. For chromatography-driven cleaning validation, the goal is to control background contribution, control transfer steps, and reduce operator-to-operator variability so your results reflect the equipment and process residue, not the sampling kit.

TX3360 combines controlled kit organization (vials, swabs, labels, transport container) with TX718 sampling swabs built for organic solvent-based sampling and a thermal bond (no adhesive) construction to help minimize contamination pathways that can interfere with low-level residue work. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports contamination-control programs with reliable kit availability, consistent documentation handoff expectations, and practical selection support so teams can standardize a repeatable cleaning validation sampling workflow without last-minute substitutions.

• Organized validation kit format: Vials, sampling swabs, and labels packaged together for controlled sampling logistics
• Double-bagged packaging: Helps reduce handling-driven contamination risk during staging and transfer
• Cleanroom-compatible transport container: Polypropylene box designed for secure movement from production to lab
• Pre-washed borosilicate glass vials: 40 mL clear vials with bonded septa caps
• One-piece cap-and-septum design: Supports cleaner extraction and sample handling; polyethylene over-cap protects septum until analysis
• Notched break-away handle: Allows swab head placement into the vial with minimal handling and contamination
• Thermal bond swab construction: No adhesive at the head/handle interface (reduces adhesive-related contamination risk pathways)
• Low titanium dioxide polyester knit head (TX718): Designed for solvent-based sampling and residue collection
• Translucent polypropylene handle (TX718): No colorants; designed to reduce potential interferences and improve chemical resistance
• Lot coding: Traceability and quality control support

• More defensible cleaning validation data: Reduces “sampling as the unknown variable” in HPLC/UV-Vis residue investigations
• Lower contamination risk during transfer: Double-bagging, protected septa, and controlled kit organization reduce common handling errors
• Improved repeatability: Notched break-away handle supports consistent head transfer into vials with minimal touchpoints
• Better method robustness: Thermal bond construction (no adhesive) helps reduce contamination pathways that can distort blanks and trace-level results
• Operational speed: Kit-based staging reduces time spent assembling vials, labels, and transport materials at point of use
• Audit readiness support: Cleaner chain-of-custody execution through labeling discipline and lot traceability

• Pharmaceutical and biotech cleaning validation sampling for HPLC/UV-Vis residue analysis
• Medical device and life-sciences controlled environment surface sampling for chromatography-based methods
• Hard-to-reach equipment geometry sampling (ports, grooves, corners, hinges, drain features, transfer chutes)
• Surface preparation and targeted residue investigation where controlled sampling logistics matter
• Protocol-driven swab sampling where chain-of-custody and transport control are required from production to laboratory

• Control the sampling map: Define sampling locations and area size (templates help), then keep it consistent across runs.
• Dampen—do not soak: Wet the swab head with the validated diluent/solvent; avoid over-wetting that can wick up the shaft and add variability.
• Use consistent strokes: Apply unidirectional, overlapping strokes with controlled pressure to improve repeatability and recovery defensibility.
• Handle discipline: Treat the notch as a boundary. Avoid touching below it. After sampling, snap at the notch and allow the head to drop into the vial; cap immediately.
• Label immediately: Apply vial identification at the point of collection to reduce mix-ups and protect chain-of-custody.
• Transport cleanly: Maintain double-bagging and keep the container closed during movement to the lab.
• Manage hold times: Define and follow protocol hold times and storage conditions (ambient 59°F to 86°F) for extracted samples.

• Designed for HPLC/UV-Vis workflows: Choose TX3360 when your cleaning validation protocol uses chromatography-based residue quantitation (HPLC/UV-Vis and related separation techniques) and you want controlled kit logistics to reduce sampling-driven variability.
• Kit-based control vs. “build your own” sampling set: TX3360 is designed to standardize vials, swabs, labels, and transport in one controlled format—helpful when multiple operators, shifts, or sites must execute the same protocol.
• 12-sample coverage: The kit is configured to support 12 sampling areas per kit. If your protocol maps more areas, plan kit quantities and collection flow accordingly.
