Disinfectants are categorized by the level of microbial elimination they provide. At Amcon Labs, we offer several options across all three levels:
Low-level disinfectants (e.g., Cetylcide II Disinfectant, PE-6808) are designed to be used as a cleaner and deodorizer for hard surfaces around the office.
Intermediate-level disinfectants (e.g., CaviCide® PE-6812, PE-6820 and CaviWipes® PE-6813 Regular - Size: 6, PE-6814 Extra Large - Size: 10) incorporate a cleaner, decontaminant, and disinfectant in one. They are recommended for use on nonporous surfaces and fixtures and are safe for operating rooms, surgical centers, and medical laboratories.
High-level disinfectants (e.g., Cidex OPA® PE-6824 and Metricide® PE-6811) are designed for a quick and effective means of disinfection for surgical instruments at room temperature. Amcon's high-level disinfectants have an effective life with a range of 14 to 75 days once the bottle is opened.
