AQUIOS Cleaning Agent, Reach Compliant

A cleaning agent for use on the AQUIOS flow cytometer components that come in contact with blood samples. This azide-free, formaldehyde-free, biodegradable cleaner contains a proteolytic enzyme that aids in the removal of protein buildup in the fluidics system and flow cell of a flow cytometer. The Cleaning Agent resides onboard the instrument and is used in automatic cleaning cycles.

*The Regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals (REACH) is the main EU law to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. REACH places responsibility on industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances. At Beckman Coulter Life Sciences we have taken an important step forward to make sure we are compliant with these new guidelines.
