Active Ingredient Tests

Chlorine has been used for many years in the world in the form of different chemical compounds for water disinfection. Active chlorine is one of them. 

Determination of Active Chlorine 

Chlorine has been used for many years in the world in the form of different chemical compounds for water disinfection. Active chlorine is one of them. 

The disinfecting effect of chlorine in water depends on four factors: 

1. The amount of Active Chlorine in the water> (in mg/lt); 
2. The pH level of the water,
3. Contact time of free chlorine with microbes in water 
4. The temperature of the water 

Determination of active chlorine analysis is performed in Biocidal products in our laboratory. 

Sodium hypochlorite is a salt. It is used in bleach as a whitener in daily life. It has also been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA as a clean disposable, high-level disinfectant agent. However, it has been observed that the uncontrolled use of Sodium Hypochlorite Substance causes serious disorders as a result of research. The World Health Organization (WHO) has limited the use of sodium hypochlorite by authorities such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Iodine and iodine compounds are used as disinfectants and antiseptics. Povidone-iodine (10%) was found to be the most effective antiseptic, which inhibits the growth of all bacteria most commonly used in patients. As a result of the studies, it has been determined that povidone-iodine (10%) is very effective in all dilutions of the bacteria, the effectiveness of which has been tested. It suppressed growth in all bacteria after 1 minute of exposure. The amount of use is limited by various authorities. 

Determination of iodine analysis is performed in biocidal and antiseptic products in our laboratory. 

Determination of Benzalkonium Chloride (C8-C10-C12-C14-C16-C18) and Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride (C8-C10-C12): 

Benzalkonium chloride (Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride), referred to by the trade name Zephiran, is a kind of cationic surfactant. Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound with antiseptic and disinfectant properties, and is an organic salt. It is used as a skin antiseptic and general disinfectant. 

A 10% solution (or more) of Benzalkonium Chloride is toxic to humans, causing skin and mucous membrane irritation. Studies have proven that benzalkonium chloride has a genotoxic effect and causes allergic reactions. The use of 0.1% in biocidal products has an irritant effect on mucosal surfaces.

FA (CH2O), an important member of the aldehyde family, is obtained as a liquid from the oxidation of methanol. Due to its strong electrophilic property, FA is a highly reactive, flammable, colourless, pungent, irritating, low molecular weight toxic gas at room temperature. 

This chemical is used in the preservation of biological samples and mummification as it hardens the proteins and prevents them from rotting, and is also used as a disinfectant because it kills insects and many microorganisms. 

Determination of formaldehyde analysis is performed in biocidal products in our laboratory. 

Glutaraldehyde was discovered in 1963 and was recognized as the most effective chemical against microorganisms. It is a fast-acting broad-spectrum sterilant and considered a high-level disinfectant. Kills fungi and vegetative bacteria in a few minutes. 

Glutaraldehyde, aldehyde-containing disinfectants are used especially in the disinfection of medical equipment used in hospitals. It is active in acidic and basic environments. 

Determination of glutaraldehyde analysis is performed in biocidal products in our laboratory.

Chlorhexidine is a disinfectant and antiseptic used for skin disinfection before surgery and sterilizing surgical instruments. It can be used to disinfect both patient's skin and healthcare providers' hands. 

It is effective against bacteria that its spectrum of action is gram-negative, anaerobes, fungi and some enveloped viruses. 

It is preferred in disinfectants due to its long duration of action. 

Determination of chlorhexidine analysis is performed in biocidal products in our laboratory. 

Determination of Alcohol (Ethyl alcohol, 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol) Methyl alcohol): 

Alcohol: Ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol is one of the most widely used antiseptics, especially in the form of 70% or 80% solution. Hand sanitizers often contain alcohol. It is highly effective against microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. 

Determination of alcohol analysis is performed in biocidal products in our laboratory. 

Hydrogen peroxide is environmentally friendly due to its decomposition into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide shows a wide range of activity against viruses, bacteria, yeast and bacterial spores. 

Determination of hydrogen peroxide analysis is performed in biocidal products in our laboratory.
