The MetriCide™ 28 Disinfectant/Sterilant – 1 Gallon – MET-11-2801 is a professional high-level disinfectant and sterilant formulated with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for the reprocessing of immersible, heat-sensitive medical and dental instruments. Manufactured by Metrex, MetriCide™ 28 is designed for use in tray systems and can be reused for up to 28 days when properly activated and maintained at or above the required minimum effective concentration (MEC).

In addition, the formulation contains surfactants that support cleaning during the reprocessing process. Furthermore, MetriCide™ 28 is recommended for heat-sensitive equipment and instruments that can be immersed in the solution, including certain stainless-steel instruments, anesthesia equipment, respiratory therapy equipment, and compatible rubber and plastic objects.

Moreover, the activated solution must maintain a minimum effective concentration of 1.8% glutaraldehyde throughout its use life. Therefore, Metrex recommends using MetriTest™ 1.8% Test Strips before each use to verify that the solution remains within the required concentration.
