MessageHi Guy, I use decon 90 (which is also made by Decon Labs Ltd, and has identical claims on the label "phosphate free", "radioactive decontamination" etc, but I've not read the MSDS sheets to see what may be different) , there's also neutracon from the same stable, but decon really does do the job well http://www.nuclearmarket.com/Suppliers/details2.cfm?IDcompany=401 for a full product line-up. I think it's an international branding issue like Jif creme cleanser (renamed to Cif in the UK recently), Marathon bar (renamed to Snickers in the UK recently) etc - they'll be rebranding "Man About The House" as "Three's Company", "Steptoe and Son" as "Sanford and Son" and "Till Death Us Do Part" as "All in the Family" before we know it :) Cheers Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: Guy Hermans To: Cytometry Mailing List Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 11:29 AM Subject: European availability of Contrad 70, alternatives? Hi all, I want to clean a flow cell internally, and Contrad 70 seems to be the most frequently recommended detergent for periodic "flushes". Trouble now is getting my hands on the stuff. Does anyone else in continental europe have trouble sourcing Contrad 70? Our local distrubutors tell us there's some ISO norm problem preventing them from selling it in the EU (I never get to heard what the problem is specifically, of course). Therefore, if you've managed to find a reseller, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Hints re: proven alternatives to Contrad 70 are welcome as well, of course, and hopefully one of those can be obtained here!
