TX3049 Sterile Vertex 9" x 9" Polyester High-Sorption Sealed-Edge Cleanroom Wiper

TX3049 Sterile Vertex is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), soft-feel, high-sorption polyester knit wiper designed for spill control, solution application, and critical wipe-downs where sterile presentation and predictable contamination control matter. It is made from 100% continuous-filament polyester knit fabric and processed on Texwipe’s Vertex® manufacturing system, which cleans and converts wipers in an integrated, hands-free micro-environment.

Best-seller note: TX3049 is commonly selected when teams want a softer sterile polyester wiper with high sorption to reduce change-outs during spill control and wet cleaning steps, while maintaining sealed-edge construction for tighter fiber/particle control.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination control by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For the Vertex® platform, Texwipe describes an automation-forward approach where wipers are cleaned and converted in an integrated, hands-free micro-environment, supported by real-time process monitoring and alarms for critical parameters to drive lot-to-lot consistency.

 

Texwipe also emphasizes verification activities (including quarterly Agarose Overlay and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) endotoxin testing) and provides Certificates of Processing and Compliance for audit readiness. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that manufacturing discipline with a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff (certs, lot traceability), and practical application support—so customers can standardize wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and inspection readiness.

TX3049 Features:
  • High sorption/absorption capacity
  • Unique fabric structure; soft feel for delicate surfaces or applications
  • Gamma irradiated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137
  • Certificates of Processing and Compliance attached to each case
  • Quarterly microbial testing by Agarose Overlay and LAL endotoxin testing
TX3049 Benefits:
  • Fewer change-outs during spills: High sorption capacity is intended to reduce the number of wipers needed for spill control (process-dependent)
  • Operator-friendly on sensitive surfaces: Soft knit feel supports wipe-downs where abrasion risk matters
  • Sterile readiness: Gamma-irradiated to SAL 10-6 to support aseptic/sterile workflows without in-house sterilization steps
  • Documentation + traceability: Certificates of Processing/Compliance and lot-coded packaging support qualification and investigations
  • Endotoxin control context: Manufacturer literature references an endotoxin limit alignment (20 EU/device) plus quarterly verification testing
Common Applications:
  • Spill control and pickup of process fluids in sterile or controlled areas
  • Applying and removing cleaning agents and disinfectants during routine wipe-downs
  • Wiping equipment exteriors, carts, benches, fixtures, and transfer items prior to entry
  • Delicate surface wipe-downs where softer knit feel is preferred
  • Staging and surface protection (as allowed by your process and contamination-control plan)
Best-Practice Use:
  • Fold for control: Fold into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to reduce re-deposition risk.
  • Wet vs. dry control: When using IPA or other solvents, dampen—do not over-saturate—to maintain control and reduce dripping and streaking.
  • Sterile transfer discipline: In sterile workflows, wipe down the exterior bag per your SOP before bringing the inner bag into the cleaner zone; open using aseptic technique to avoid contacting the dispense edge.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins to leave streaks/residue; for spills, change sooner to avoid redistribution.
Selection Notes (TX3049 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3049 vs. TX3042: Same Sterile Vertex family, construction approach, and sterile documentation model; TX3042 is the larger 12" x 12" format when coverage per wipe matters.
  • Dry vs. pre-wetted (TX3049P): Choose TX3049P for consistent wetting with 70% USP-Grade IPA/30% USP Purified Water and reduced solvent handling; choose TX3049 when you need flexibility to pair with site-specific chemistries or staged wetting.
  • Sealed edge vs. non-sealed edge: Sealed-edge presentation is typically chosen to reduce fiber/particle release at the perimeter in more critical wipe-down steps (verify against your internal acceptance criteria).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe Vertex® (Sterile) Polyester / High Absorption / Sealed Edge Sterile Liquid Control & Wipe-Down 9" x 9" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3049 Sterile Vertex® 9" x 9" Polyester High-Absorption Sealed-Edge Wiper — sterile spill pickup and controlled wipe-downs with edge control

Texwipe TX3049 Sterile Vertex® is a sterile, 9" x 9" polyester cleanroom wiper positioned for applications where higher absorption and controlled edge performance are important in a validated wipe program. High-absorption polyester wipes are commonly selected for managing solvent or disinfectant carryover, capturing light spills, and supporting repeatable wipe-down methods where pooling or drip risk must be minimized. A sealed edge can help reduce loose fiber release at the cut perimeter and can be a practical control when wiping near critical interfaces. As with all sterile wipes, performance depends on controlled introduction, disciplined one-pass/one-face technique, and defined change-out triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, ions, and surface quality.

Operations takeaway: TX3049 supports ISO-aligned operations control by pairing a sealed-edge sterile wipe platform with a method that controls wetness and prevents re-deposition. Use the wipe to manage liquid loading and define a clear discard point when the wipe becomes saturated or smeary.

ISO-first context: where wipers fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 frames cleanroom performance around a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs personnel practices, material transfer, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring. Wipers belong in that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. If you clean parts, fixtures, tools, or work surfaces inside an ISO-class controlled environment, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable.

Control point: Most “wiper failures” are technique failures—over-wetting, re-wiping with a loaded face, backtracking into clean areas, or using a wiper beyond its change-out point.

Specifications (SKU controls for RFQs, SOPs, and receiving)
  • Product: Texwipe TX3049 Sterile Vertex® 9" x 9" Polyester High-Absorption Sealed-Edge Wiper
  • Size: 9" x 9" (approx. 22.9 cm x 22.9 cm)

Documentation rule: For controlled/validated programs, always base acceptance criteria on current manufacturer documentation and lot records (not web summaries).

What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Sterile wipe-downs where higher absorbency helps manage liquid loading and reduce pooling risk (as defined in the SOP).
  • Pickup of light spills or localized liquid carryover in controlled areas when sterility and disciplined discard rules are required.
  • Wiping equipment surfaces and touchpoints where sealed-edge construction supports controlled perimeter performance near critical interfaces.
  • Damp-film wiping using facility-approved sterile chemistries where the method defines stroke pattern, pressure, and change-out triggers.
  • Finishing passes where residue control depends on one-pass/one-face technique and controlled wetness (validate outcomes against surface-quality requirements).

Method note: High-absorption wipes can hold more liquid; standardize the wetness target and define a discard point tied to saturation and smear risk. For confined geometries beyond the wipe’s control, define the swab method separately (one swab, one area; no re-dipping).

Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)
  1. Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
  2. Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
  3. Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
  4. Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping).
  5. Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
  6. Change-out triggers: discard when loaded, saturated, smeary, tacky, or when surface-quality requirements are at risk.

Method standardization tip: If outcomes differ by operator, lock four variables in the SOP: wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out point.

Misuse controls & when not to use
  • If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
  • If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
  • If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; avoid excessive pressure.
  • If chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.
Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this cleanroom wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove to reduce contamination transfer during handling and routine wipe-downs.

Glove discipline: Change gloves when contaminated, solvent-wet, torn, or after contacting non-controlled surfaces. Treat gloves as part of the wipe system.

Recommended sterile swab pairing (detail cleaning & confined geometries)

For ports, crevices, and recessed features where a wiper cannot maintain contact control, use a sterile cleanroom swab to keep the cleaning method consistent and to reduce accidental contact with critical surfaces.

Swab discipline: Use a strict “one swab, one area” approach for sterile workflows. Do not re-dip; discard immediately if the tip is overloaded or if the swab contacts non-sterile surfaces.
