TX3285 Sterile AlphaSat10 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Pre-Wetted 70% IPA

TX3285 Sterile AlphaSat10 is low-linting (no wiper is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition) and designed for critical, sterile wipe-downs inside isolators and other high-control work zones. It features 9" x 9" SterileWipe™ LP 10 sealed-border wipers pre-wetted with 0.2 µm filtered 70% USP isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in a small resealable flexpack. SterileWipe LP 10 is a 100% continuous-filament polyester knit wiper with thermally sealed borders, engineered for extremely low releasable particles and fibers in ISO Class 3–5 environments.

Best-seller note: TX3285 is widely specified for CAIs, aseptic isolators, and BSC workflows because the sterile, pre-wetted flexpack format reduces in-house wetting steps, simplifies documentation, and preserves valuable isolator space while delivering consistent 70% IPA wipe performance.

About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination-control wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For sterile pre-wetted systems like AlphaSat® with Vectra® Alpha® 10, Texwipe emphasizes sealed-border construction to reduce edge-driven fiber release, automated cleaning system processing to control ions/NVR/particles/fibers, and sterile program controls (including irradiation and lot-level documentation) designed to support repeatable performance in critical and sterile environments.

 

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, pre-wetted wipe materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

Best-Practice Use:
  • Entry discipline: Wipe down the exterior bag with sterile 70% IPA per site SOP before introducing the inner bag to the isolator.
  • Reseal promptly: Open only when ready to use and reseal the flexpack immediately after removing a wiper to help preserve wetness and minimize vapor loss.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to avoid re-depositing contamination; do not “scrub” back and forth on critical surfaces unless SOP explicitly calls for it.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, tacky, or begins to leave streaks/residue.
  • Spill control: For isolator spills, start from the clean boundary and work inward to the spill zone; dispose per site hazardous waste rules when applicable.
Selection Notes (TX3285 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3285 vs. non-sterile 70% IPA wipes: Choose TX3285 when sterile presentation, SAL documentation, and expiration dating are required for isolator/sterile workflows; use non-sterile pre-wetted wipes when sterility assurance is not required.
  • TX3285 vs. dry sterile sealed-border wipes: Choose TX3285 to reduce in-house wetting steps and standardize wetness; choose dry sterile wipes when your SOP requires a different solvent, custom wetting volume, or staged solvent application.
  • Flexpack format: If isolator space is constrained, the small footprint flexpack is typically preferred over larger bag formats used in open cleanroom wiping.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe AlphaSat® 10 (Sterile) Polyester / Pre-wetted 70% IPA Sterile Surface Prep & Routine Wipe-Down 9" x 9" Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX3285 Sterile AlphaSat® 10 9" x 9" Polyester Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — controlled wetness for repeatable sterile wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3285 is a sterile AlphaSat® 10 polyester cleanroom wiper (9" x 9") pre-wetted with 70% IPA to support consistent, operator-repeatable wipe-downs in controlled and aseptic workflows. Pre-wetted formats are commonly selected to reduce variability associated with manual wetting (over-wetting, pooling, and inconsistent coverage), particularly when routine wipe-downs are performed across shifts by multiple operators. Polyester wipe platforms are frequently used where clean handling, repeatable surface contact, and method-defined residue control are important. As with any sterile wipe system, the governing controls are correct introduction into the classified area, maintaining package integrity, and disciplined one-pass, one-face technique with defined change-out triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, surface quality, and chemistry compatibility.

Operations takeaway: TX3285 supports ISO-aligned operations control by standardizing wetness at the wipe level. Method performance still depends on unidirectional strokes, clean-to-less-clean flow, and keeping the primary package closed between uses to limit solvent loss and reduce handling contamination.


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)
  • Routine sterile wipe-down of benches, carts, and equipment touch points where controlled wetness improves repeatability versus manual wetting.
  • Controlled surface prep on smooth, non-product-contact surfaces prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Wipe-down during aseptic interventions where sterility, package control, and disciplined change-outs are required.
  • Standardized wipe-down of tools and fixtures introduced into a controlled area, following material transfer and staging rules.
  • General sterile cleaning passes where consistent wetness and repeatable surface coverage are desired (validate method outcomes against your residue/surface-quality expectations).

Method note: Pre-wetted IPA wipes reduce wetting variability, but the SOP still must define stroke pattern, contact expectations, and change-out triggers. If pooling or streaking is observed, reduce pressure and confirm one-face-per-pass discipline. 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.
