Aquasan
For effective disinfection of laboratory water baths
It has been demonstrated that bacteria, in particular Pseudomonas spp., from a contaminated laboratory water bath can be transmitted to ward patients. 1 Further, such bacterial contamination of laboratory water baths can be the source of foul odours, creating unpleasant working conditions.
The active ingredient in Aquasan, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol, has been shown to be effective in the prevention of the growth of many groups of bacteria and fungi including Pseudomonas. 2
Aquasan is odourless, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It will not affect activated sludge sewage systems.
Starting with a freshly cleaned water bath, simply add one tablet to every 5 to 10 litres of water once a week for 5 to 6 weeks. Then empty the bath and repeat the process with fresh water.
