TX3280 Sterile AlphaSat10 12" x 12" Polyester Wiper Pre-Wetted 70% IPA / 30% WFI

TX3280 Sterile AlphaSat10 is a low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition) sterile, sealed-border polyester wiper pre-wetted with 0.2 µm filtered 70% USP isopropyl alcohol (IPA) / 30% Water for Injection (WFI). Built on SterileWipe™ LP 10 (100% continuous-filament polyester knit with thermally sealed borders), TX3280 is packaged in a resealable flatpack format designed for controlled wipe-downs in critical sterile environments where solution quality, traceability, and consistency matter.

Shipping/sterile-suite note: TX3280 is typically handled as a hazardous shipment (ground-only) due to IPA content. Each case is triple-bagged and gamma irradiated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6, supporting easy transfer into sterile suites with bag wipe-down steps.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. Its manufacturing approach starts with fabric and yarn selection (often continuous-filament polyester for lower shedding), then controls edge construction (cut-edge, sealed-edge, and patented sealed-border options), controlled cleaning/laundering, and packaging aligned to cleanroom application tiers.

 

Texwipe also emphasizes verification through fibers/particles/ions/residue/endotoxin testing and describes automation-forward processes—such as Vectra® continuous cleaning with 100% machine-vision inspection and hands-free sterile manufacturing steps—to improve lot-to-lot consistency and reduce handling-driven contamination risk. 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 audit readiness.

TX3280 Features:
  • Lot-specific information on each case simplifies record keeping
  • Certificate of Processing confirms radiation dosage
  • Certificate of Compliance
  • Certificate of Analysis
  • Expiration date marked on each package
  • Pre-wetted with 0.2 µm filtered 70% IPA / 30% WFI by volume
  • Cleanroom-laundered 100% polyester knit with thermally sealed borders
  • Triple-bagged for easy entry into sterile environments
  • Independent quality control audits for sterility assurance
TX3280 Benefits:
  • Reduces in-house solution handling: Eliminates blending, filtration, processing, and QC expense of in-house production of IPA solutions.
  • More controlled solvent use: Optimizes solution usage and helps reduce overspray of alcohol versus spray-and-wipe practices.
  • Lower spill and disposal burden: Reduces IPA spill potential and helps eliminate storage/disposal of excess solvents.
  • Rigorous wiping with low release: Superior wiper strength supports rigorous wiping with minimal release of fibers and particles (process-dependent).
  • Smoother wiping action: Wiper glides smoothly over surfaces for controlled wipe-downs.
  • Fiber control for sterile zones: Extremely low levels of releasable visible fibers consistent with requirements for sterile ISO Class 4 (Class 10) and higher environments.
  • Transfer-friendly packaging: Packaging permits alcohol wipe-down of the exterior bag before introduction of the inner bag to sterile suites.
  • Audit-ready traceability: Assures quality of individual lots and lot-to-lot traceability with supporting documentation.
Common Applications:
  • Developed to clean sterile environments without compromising the sterile nature of those environments
  • Cleaning production equipment and environmental surfaces in a sterile environment during and following the production flow
  • Ideal for wiping gloved hands
Best-Practice Use:
  • Control transfer into the suite: Wipe down the exterior bag per your facility practice before staging the inner bag in the sterile area.
  • Open/dispense with discipline: Open the resealable flatpack only as far as needed; reclose promptly to help maintain consistent wetness.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) and avoid back-and-forth scrubbing that can re-deposit contamination.
  • Face management: Fold to present clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Avoid pooling: Keep wipe-downs controlled; do not flood surfaces with excess solvent. Use additional wipers rather than overworking one.
  • Glove wiping: If used for gloved hands, follow your gowning/aseptic workflow and discard after the step to prevent cross-contact.
Selection Notes (TX3280 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3280 vs. TX3285: Both are sterile AlphaSat10 with sealed-border polyester wipers, but TX3280 is 12" x 12" and uses 70% IPA / 30% WFI in flatpacks. TX3285 is the 9" x 9" format typically packaged as smaller packs for tighter staging and smaller wipe areas.
  • WFI-driven programs: Choose TX3280 when your SOPs call for WFI-based wetting (or when investigational rigor and solution pedigree are emphasized). For non-WFI programs, other sterile pre-wetted options may be appropriate.
  • Need higher sorption in a pre-wet: If you want more capacity per wipe while staying in a sterile pre-wetted workflow, consider AlphaSat options built on higher-sorption substrates (where compatible with your residue/particle targets).
  • Ethanol vs. IPA: If IPA is not preferred for a surface or process step, sterile ethanol pre-wetted sealed-edge alternatives may fit better (validate against your material compatibility and residue expectations).

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe AlphaSat® 10 (Sterile, Pre-Wetted) Polyester / 70% IPA + 30% WFI Saturated Sterile Wipe-Down with Controlled Chemistry 12" x 12" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3280 Sterile AlphaSat® 10 12" x 12" Polyester Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA / 30% WFI) — standardized sterile wipe-down chemistry for residue-sensitive programs

Texwipe TX3280 Sterile AlphaSat® 10 is a sterile, pre-wetted 12" x 12" polyester cleanroom wiper supplied saturated with a 70% IPA / 30% WFI blend to support standardized wipe-down methods where chemistry control and repeatability are priorities. This type of pre-wet blend is typically evaluated when a facility wants the familiar performance of IPA but also wants tighter control over the aqueous component used to carry or manage residues—particularly in sterile processing zones where water quality is part of the program’s contamination-control mindset. Pre-wetting reduces variability introduced by field wetting (over-application, inconsistent saturation, solvent handling drift), and it can help reduce operator-driven differences in streaking, drying time, and surface coverage. The 12" x 12" format supports repeatable fold patterns and multiple clean faces, which is useful for benches, carts, equipment exteriors, and staging surfaces as defined in the SOP. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal requirements for residues, compatibility, and surface finish sensitivity.

Operations takeaway: TX3280 supports ISO-aligned operations control by fixing both wetness and chemistry composition at the point of use. In the SOP, define surface area per wipe, stroke count, and discard triggers so operators do not extend use after the wipe becomes loaded or begins to smear.

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)
  • Standardized sterile wipe-downs where both wetness and chemistry composition (70% IPA / 30% WFI) are part of the method control strategy.
  • Bench, cart, and equipment exterior wipe-downs where repeatable fold patterns and controlled damp-film coverage are required.
  • Residue-sensitive wipe steps where the aqueous component quality is managed as part of the cleaning program (validate against internal residue limits).
  • Higher-throughput wipe-down steps where pre-wetted chemistry reduces operator variability and supports repeatable coverage across shifts.
  • Support cleaning prior to a defined disinfection step when the SOP calls for an IPA-based wipe and controlled water quality is desired.

Method note: A pre-wet blend can reduce wetting drift, but it does not eliminate technique drift. Define the area-per-wipe and a finishing-pass rule so loaded wipes do not smear residues or redistribute contamination.

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: use the pre-wetted wipe as supplied; avoid adding liquid unless your SOP allows it.
  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 (fixed here), 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 the IPA/WFI blend; 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.
