InstruCheck - protein test
The Valisafe InstruCheck protein test is a rapid test that has the ability to detect residual proteins left behind on the surfaces of washer-disinfectors, ultrasonic cleaners, endoscopes and other hard to clean surgical instruments. This protein test is based on a dye-binding solution used in clinical chemistry and can detect protein residues within 1 µg sensitivity.
- Conforms to BS EN ISO 15883
- Result within 10 seconds
- Easy to use - no incubation required
- Clear colour change
- Cost effective
- For use with:
- - Endoscopes
- - WD / Ultrasonic surfaces
- - Surgical instruments
To determine if protein is present on a surface, swab the surface, place the swab in the colour changing solution and swirl the swab for 5 seconds. The swab can then be discarded. If protein is present, the reagent will turn blue within 10 seconds. The colour change provides a semi-quantitative measure of surface cleanliness; the higher the level of contamination of protein (from sources such as bioburden), the
darker and faster the colour changes to blue.
