TX3211 SterileWipe LP 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper

TX3211 SterileWipe LP is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), sterile polyester knit wiper used for cleaning critical sterile environments and for dispensing/applying cleaning, sterilizing, and disinfecting solutions. It is constructed from 100% continuous-filament polyester knit to help minimize particle generation and extractable levels (process-dependent) and is gamma irradiated and sterile validated to a 10−6 Sterility Assurance Level for sterile suites, aseptic processing areas, and other contamination-sensitive workflows.

Best-seller note: TX3211 is widely specified when teams want a sterile, high-absorbency 9" x 9" polyester wipe that supports strong documentation discipline (lot info, radiation processing documentation, and expiration dating) for audit readiness.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. In SterileWipe™ LP, that shows up in continuous-filament knit construction, controlled laundering/packaging, and sterile validation with documentation elements designed to simplify record keeping in sterile programs (radiation processing confirmation, compliance documentation, and expiration dating by package/lot).

 

Texwipe also publishes typical performance and contamination baselines (absorbency, particles/fibers, ions, and nonvolatile residue) for this product family to support evaluation and standardization. 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 sterile wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX3211 Features:
  • Gamma irradiated to 10−6 Sterility Assurance Level (per AAMI guidance)
  • Lot-specified information to simplify record keeping
  • Certificate of Processing confirming radiation dosage
  • Certification of Compliance
  • Expiration date marked on each package
  • Cleanroom-laundered 100% polyester knit
  • Independent quality-control audits for sterility assurance
TX3211 Benefits:
  • Sterile program compatibility: Supports cleaning sterile environments without compromising sterility when handled per gowning/transfer SOPs
  • Chemistry tolerance (typical): Withstands exposure to common cleaning and disinfecting solutions including bleaches, phenols, and quaternary ammonium compounds (verify against your site chemistry and compatibility expectations)
  • Bag-transfer discipline: Packaging permits alcohol wipe-down of the exterior bag before introducing the inner bag into sterile suites
  • Strength for rigorous wiping: Supports rigorous wipe-downs with minimal release of fibers and particles (process-dependent)
  • Traceability confidence: Lot-to-lot traceability and documentation alignment support audit readiness
Common Applications:
  • Pharmaceutical aseptic fill areas, sterile suites, and prep rooms
  • Biotechnology manufacturing facilities and microbiological laboratories
  • Cleaning and polishing equipment and environmental surfaces during and following production flow
  • Applying cleaning, sterilizing, and disinfecting solutions
  • Spill control and pickup of process fluids in sterile/controlled workflows
Best-Practice Use:
  • Transfer discipline: Wipe down the exterior bag with your approved alcohol/disinfectant before introducing the inner bag into the sterile space (follow your gowning/transfer SOP).
  • 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 avoid re-depositing contamination.
  • Wet vs. dry: If using with disinfectants/solvents, dampen—do not over-saturate—to maintain control and reduce dripping.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins to streak (surface and chemistry dependent).
Selection Notes (TX3211 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3211 (sterile) vs. TX1009/TX1009B (non-sterile): Choose TX3211 when sterility assurance and sterile-suite documentation are required; choose non-sterile AlphaWipe options when your SOP allows non-sterile wipes for general controlled-area wipe-downs.
  • Cut-edge sterile vs. sealed-edge sterile: Choose a cut-edge sterile knit when general wiping efficiency is the priority; choose sealed-edge/ sealed-border sterile constructions when edge control is the dominant contamination-risk driver (validate per surface type and SOP).
  • Dry sterile vs. pre-wetted sterile: Choose dry sterile when your SOP requires custom chemistry/dwell control; choose sterile pre-wetted wipes when consistent wetting and reduced solvent handling improve repeatability (site validation required).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe SterileWipe LP Polyester / Low Particulate Sterile Wipe-Down & Aseptic Support 9" x 9" Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX3211 SterileWipe LP 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper — sterile, low-particulate wiping for controlled surfaces and aseptic support

Texwipe TX3211 SterileWipe LP is a sterile, low-particulate polyester cleanroom wiper in a 9" x 9" format, commonly selected for controlled and aseptic wipe-downs where particle contribution, wipe consistency, and handling discipline matter. Polyester wipe platforms are frequently used on smooth surfaces, equipment exteriors, and product-adjacent areas when facilities need a repeatable wiping method and a defined solvent approach per SOP. TX3211 is typically chosen when your program prefers to control wetness at the point of use (damp-film technique) rather than relying on a pre-wetted format. As with all sterile wipes, performance depends on controlled introduction, one-pass/one-face technique, and appropriate change-out discipline. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, ions, and surface quality.

Operations takeaway: TX3211 supports ISO-aligned operations control by providing a sterile polyester wipe platform that can be standardized in your SOP (wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out triggers). For confined geometries and ports, pair the wipe method with a defined sterile swab method to prevent uncontrolled wiping and unintended contact.


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.

What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Sterile wipe-down of benches, carts, and equipment surfaces where low particulate contribution and consistent wiping technique are required.
  • Damp-film wiping using facility-approved sterile solvents/chemistries where the SOP defines wetness target and contact method (no pooling/dripping).
  • Routine cleaning passes on smooth surfaces to reduce visible films and residues prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Intervention support in aseptic workflows where package control, controlled wetting, and one-pass/one-face technique are required.
  • Wipe-down of tools and fixtures during material transfer into controlled areas, following staging and packaging rules.

Method note: If your process is sensitive to residues or streaking, define a finishing pass in the SOP (stroke direction, fold pattern, and discard point). For confined geometries, 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, 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.
