To verify the maximum efficacy of your CIDEX Activated Dialdehyde Solution, ASP recommends testing for the minimum effective concentration (MEC) prior to each use. ASP offers test strips designed specifically for use with CIDEX Activated Dialdehyde Solution. Easy to use and read, CIDEX Activated Dialdehyde Solution Test Strips are the most reliable way to verify that CIDEX Activated Dialdehyde Solution will destroy microorganisms including the highly resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

For optimal results, please carefully follow Instructions for Use when using test strips:

1. Completely submerge indicated pad of the strip into solution. Hold for 3 seconds, then remove. Do not shake strip.
2. Remove excess solution by standing the strip upright on a paper towel.
3. Read results at 75 seconds. Do not read past 75 seconds. Pad will be completely purple to indicate effective solution. If any orange remains on the pad apart from the top line, the solution is ineffective and must be discarded.
4. Tightly recap test strip bottle after each use.
5. Discard any unused test strips 90 days after bottle is originally opened.
