Description
The CST-401 Manual and Ultrasonic Instrument Cleaner is a neutral pH liquid concentrate made for hand washing and ultrasonic cleaning of surgical instruments. It also handles laboratory glassware, which makes it a flexible sink-side staple for reprocessing areas.
- Two methods, one concentrate – Formulated for both manual cleaning and ultrasonic washers
- Penetrates bio-burden – Frees instruments of stubborn organic encrustation at the sink
- Rinses freely – A special surfactant blend accelerates efficient rinsing with no residue chase
- Clean fresh scent – An aroma-therapeutic scent makes long sink sessions more pleasant for staff
About This CST-401 Instrument Cleaner
CST-401 is prepared by adding 5 to 20 ml of concentrate per gallon of water, and heavier soil loads simply take the upper end of that range. The formula penetrates bio-burden so organic encrustation releases during manual scrubbing or ultrasonic cycles instead of being pushed around the surface. Chelating additives counteract hard water and help protect instruments by preventing scale build up during the soak. Because it is pH balanced and free of scale-forming phosphates, chlorides and hydroxides, it is gentle on the instruments it cleans. Its high concentration keeps cost per sink low, since as little as 5 ml makes a full gallon of wash solution. It is sold as listed, a 1 gallon container in a case of four.

Why Choose This CST-401 Instrument Cleaner
Manual and ultrasonic cleaning is where reprocessing quality is won or lost, because everything downstream depends on instruments arriving truly clean. CST-401 concentrates the chemistry that step needs, bio-burden penetration, hard water defense and free rinsing, into a few milliliters per gallon. Staff get a fresh scented sink solution that treats instruments gently while it works.
- Faster sink turnover – Bio-burden releases during the soak and ultrasonic cycle instead of demanding repeated scrubbing
- Instruments stay bright – Chelating additives prevent the scale build up and staining that dull instrument finishes over time
- Low cost per sink – Five milliliters makes a gallon of wash solution, so one case covers a long stretch of daily cleaning
- One product for two stations – The same concentrate serves the manual sink and the ultrasonic unit, plus laboratory glassware
