HLD Kill-Rate Comparison

n Fast Acting ALDAHOL 1.8 is rapidly active against all vegetative bacteria, fungi, virus types, mycobacteria, and spore-forming bacteria. When used manually at just 10 minutes, it is one of the fastest high-level disinfectant on the market.

n Energy Efficient Used at room temperature (68°F), ALDAHOL 1.8 frees your facility from the time and expense of having to continuously heat chemicals, using less energy overall.

n Simple to Use ALDAHOL 1.8 has a convenient 14-day maximum use life, and an easy-to-use liquid activator that changes ALDAHOL 1.8 to red for visual confirmation. Additionally, it rinses easily from all surfaces.

n Widely Compatible Unlike some other aldehyde-based solutions, ALDAHOL 1.8 is ideal for all Olympus and Gyrus ACMI flexible endoscopes.

ALDAHOL 1.8 is the result of a groundbreaking scientific discovery that low concentrations of isopropanol greatly enhance the mycobactericidal activity of glutaraldehyde. ALDAHOL 1.8 was created to provide a solution for fast-acting, room-temperature, high-level disinfection (HLD).
