Premier Glass Washer Validation Services

The Riboflavin Coverage Method is an advanced validation technique used to ensure the comprehensive cleanliness of glassware in pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and healthcare settings. It involves applying a riboflavin solution to all internal surfaces of glassware before a standard wash cycle. Post-wash, the glassware is inspected under UV light. The presence of any residual fluorescence indicates areas where contaminants remain, highlighting the need for cleaning process optimization.

In industries where cleanliness and contamination control are paramount, this method provides a rigorous, visual means of confirming that all surfaces of your glassware are free from contaminants. This is critical not only for maintaining the integrity of experimental results and manufacturing processes but also for complying with stringent regulatory standards.

Unlike traditional methods, which may rely on indirect measures of cleanliness or are limited to accessible surfaces, the Riboflavin Coverage Method directly visualizes cleanliness across every surface of the glassware, including hard-to-reach areas. This ensures a more thorough validation of the cleaning process, offering greater confidence in the results.

The process involves applying a riboflavin solution to the glassware, running a standard wash cycle, and then inspecting the glassware under UV light for any residual fluorescence. The total time for the process will depend on the specific equipment and wash cycle lengths, but the added steps of applying riboflavin and inspecting under UV light are generally minimal compared to the overall cycle time.

Yes, the Riboflavin Coverage Method can be adapted to a wide range of glass washers and cleaning protocols. Our team is experienced in customizing the application of this method to various models and makes of glass washers, ensuring that it meets the specific needs and compliance requirements of your facility.
