Benefits
Reliable protection from microbial contamination & easy handling without pipetting.
Broad Antimicrobial Activity
WaterShield™ is active against most bacteria, mycoplasma, protozoa, algae, fungi and yeast.
Wide Range of Applications
WaterShield™ can also be used in regular water/heating baths including water pans of CO2 incubators and is compatible with common laboratory surfaces, e.g. tin plated iron, chrome, nickel steel, high grade steel and copper.
No Cell Toxicity
The water additive contains quaternary ammonium compounds and surfactants as disinfecting and cleaning ingredients, but no aldehydes, phenols, alcohols or azides. The reagents do not evaporate. All ingredients are safe and do not cause any irritating effects to the skin when used at the recommended concentration. No unpleasant odor noticeable.
No Pipetting
Simply add the content of a 10 ml bottle of WaterShield™ directly to 2 liters of deionized water.
