SOS Cleanroom Texwipe TX718 Alpha Polyester Knit Large Swab with Notched Handle - Bag

Product Description

Texwipe TX718 is a low-linting (no swab is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), solvent-compatible cleanroom sampling swab engineered for surface residue collection and cleaning validation workflows using HPLC/UV-Vis and other chromatography/separation techniques. It uses a 100% low titanium dioxide polyester knit swab head for controlled residue pickup and release during extraction, paired with a translucent 100% polypropylene handle (no colorants / no titanium dioxide) to help reduce analytical interferences. A complete thermal bond construction eliminates adhesive-related contamination pathways, and the notched break-away handle is designed so the swab head can be placed into a vial with minimal handling—a practical advantage when sampling has to survive an audit trail.
