Product Description
STX714A Sterile Alpha® is a low-linting (no swab is truly ‘lint-free’ in every process condition), high-absorbency polyester knit cleanroom swab engineered for precision cleaning of broad, flat surfaces and controlled surface sampling in critical environments. The rectangular, double-layer 100% polyester knit head is thermally bonded to a clean, 100% virgin polypropylene handle—eliminating adhesive contamination and sealing exposed edges for cleaner, more repeatable swabbing. Each swab is gamma irradiated to a 10-6 Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) and supplied in an individually packaged peel-apart sleeve with lot coding and expiration dating to support sterile workflows, documentation discipline, and audit-ready traceability.
