Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a novel cleaning solution for use particularly with automated analyzers used in clinical laboratories and a method of cleaning a surface with the cleaning solution. The solution eliminates problems of cross-contamination of samples due to reagent carryover which can be brought about by an analyzer's probe that dispenses more than one reagent. The solution is particularly suitable for resolving carryover problems in coagulation assays performed with automated systems. The cleaning solution includes a bile salt, an ionic surfactant, sodium ions, and water and has a pH in a range of about 1 to 4.
