Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies rely on a variety of multipurpose chemicals and solutions to ensure the safety and efficacy of their operations. Here are five such chemicals and solutions commonly used in these settings:
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA): Use: IPA is a versatile disinfectant and antiseptic agent used for surface disinfection, hand sanitization, and equipment sterilization.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2): Use: Hydrogen peroxide is utilized for wound cleaning, disinfecting surfaces, and as a bleaching agent. In pharmaceutical companies, it is employed in the production of medicines and as a sterilizing agent for equipment and containers.
Ethylene Oxide (EtO): Use: Ethylene oxide is a gas commonly used for sterilizing heat-sensitive medical and pharmaceutical products, such as plastic devices and some medications.
Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach): Use: Sodium hypochlorite is a strong disinfectant and cleaning agent used in healthcare settings for surface disinfection, equipment sterilization, and decontamination of medical waste.
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda): Use: Sodium bicarbonate is used in pharmaceutical companies as a buffering agent in the production of oral medications to maintain their pH levels. In healthcare settings, it can be used as an antacid to relieve indigestion or as a treatment for certain drug overdoses
These chemicals and solutions play critical roles in maintaining cleanliness, safety, and product quality in hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, contributing to the well-being of patients and the effectiveness of pharmaceutical processes.
