  • Used Cozzoli vial washer, model GW24, stainless steel construction, touch screen controls, with Allan Bradley MicroLogix PLC controller, serial# GW24-56.

  • Per Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting viruses and other pathogens, any form of disinfection necessarily follows cleaning. The process of cleaning will remove any residues that might shield any virus or pathogen from the disinfection step that comes next. Disinfection, following thorough cleaning and rinsing, can be done with bleach solutions, 70% alcohol solutions, or other products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims. As outlined by CDC, bleach solutions should reside on surface for at least one minute and can be made as follows:

    • 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water, or
    • 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

    An excellent cleaning and wiping solution can be made with 0.5% (0.75- 1.5 oz/gal or 5 mL/L) Alconox® Powdered Precision Cleaner or Liquinox® Critical Cleaning Liquid Detergent, depending on preference for powder or liquid concentrate, respectively. Following which, per the CDC guidelines, wipe with the above bleach solution or other disinfectant solution. Allow wiped-down surfaces to sit for several minutes before rinsing to complete the disinfection.
