The Power of Tristel Chlorine Dioxide
Our globally trusted chlorine dioxide chemistry:
Fast-acting and effective across diverse healthcare applications.
Our Chemistry
Understanding Chlorine Dioxide
Our proprietary chlorine dioxide (ClO2) chemistry, is generated by reacting sodium chlorite with citric acid. Tristel ClO2 delivers efficient disinfection at the point of care across diverse medical fields.
How Does Chlorine Dioxide Work?
As an oxidiser, ClO2 reacts by taking electrons from microorganisms, ultimately destroying them. This mode of action prevents the development of resistance to ClO2.
-
Fast-acting Disinfection
Provides rapid and effective disinfection, reducing turnaround time for reprocessing.
-
Broad-spectrum Efficacy
Effective against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, spores and fungi.
-
Selective Mode of Action
ClO2 provides a selective oxidative mode of action, providing biocidal efficacy at low active concentrations.
Why Choose Chlorine Dioxide in Healthcare Settings?
Superior Performance
Medical Devices Compatibility
Meets International Standards
Ease of Use
Point of Care
Fast Action, Minimal Downtime
Mode of Action
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) provides a selective oxidative mode of action, with a higher affinity for organic matter and microorganisms than nonorganic materials.
This selectivity and enhanced oxidative capacity allow chlorine dioxide to provide biocidal efficacy in Tristel products at relatively low active concentrations, enhancing our compatibility with device and surface materials commonly found in healthcare settings. .
Exceptional Efficacy
Chlorine dioxide destroys bacteria, fungi and yeast by blocking protein production, damaging proteins, modifying amino acids and disrupting DNA. For spores, ClO2 targets and severely disrupts the inner cell membrane, ensuring effective disinfection.
Our chlorine dioxide chemistry has been proven effective against a broad spectrum of organisms from enveloped viruses to bacterial spores.
