Protein Residue Testing

Rapid & Reliable Monitoring of Residual Protein on Surgical Instruments
Ensure complete decontamination of reusable medical instruments with Sychem’s advanced protein residue testing solutions by Terragene. Protein residue testing is a vital process in healthcare decontamination, designed to detect microscopic protein traces left on surgical instruments—residues that visual inspection alone cannot identify. These tests target specific proteins commonly found in blood, providing critical insight into cleaning effectiveness.

In compliance with HTM 01 – 01: 2016 standards, healthcare facilities are required to demonstrate evidence of effective decontamination. Regular use of protein residue testing supports traceability and ensures sterile service departments meet regulatory requirements.
