Quip Labs has helped some facilities reduce and cage wash program costs by almost half, through a combination of:

✅ Vendor consolidation and managed service programs
✅ MaestroChem™ automated chemical management
✅ QuipGuard™ remote tank monitoring
✅ Optimized wash cycles that lower water and energy consumption

The result is a more efficient operation with measurable cost savings and improved resource utilization.

In a surgical suite, a lot of attention is placed on pathogen reduction before and after procedures. But what about everything that happens in between?

That's where continuous pathogen reduction comes into the conversation.

Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP) technology operates in occupied spaces, providing ongoing microbial reduction throughout the day instead of only during designated cleaning windows. Published data demonstrated a 96.5% reduction in surface microbial burden within 24 hours and sustained reductions above 90% over 28 days.

Learn more about the "between cleanings" challenge and how DHP fits into a layered biosecurity strategy:

is a reminder that progress is powered by people.

In research facilities across the country, discovery depends on the dedication of researchers, veterinary professionals, and the laboratory technicians and animal care teams whose work keeps studies moving forward every day. This Labor Day, we celebrate the people behind the progress.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to advancing science.

A UCLA study tested three mouse strains—Swiss Webster, C57Bl/6, and BALB/c—against disinfectant residues. Chlorine dioxide tablets showed no significant aversion in any strain. Want to learn more about the results? Head over to https://quiplabs.com/choosing-research-disinfectant/

After years of buildup in this large animal facility, we applied ViveSecure with a foam applicator and light brush agitation, and the soil began visibly breaking up on rinse with substantially less labor.

The picture you see here is ten minutes of contact time.

The chemistry uses a patented combination of quaternary ammonium and hydrogen peroxide formulated to chemically lift proteinaceous soils rather than react with the surface and stop.

An academic research institution consolidated and cut total costs by 48%. Most of that savings came from visibility into waste: less chemistry per load, shorter cycle times, and reduced water use per washer.

What would you do if the boiler on your tunnel washer died on a Friday, with a backlog of soiled cages already stacking up?

That's exactly what happened to one of our customers earlier this year.

We immediately swapped them over to a cold water wash program, using Quiptrol 3000 to achieve the same level of sanitation that steam was used for previously, and then proved that through microbial plating with our Expanded Lab Services.

Is your cage wash program evaluating House-Hot or Cold Water cage washing? How are you planning to validate?

A 2019 UC SAN DIEGO study tested six common disinfectants, including MB-10 Tablets, against bacterial spore formers isolated from actual facility contamination events. MB-10 required a median lethal concentration of 0.05% while some competitor options needed 2%—a 40-fold difference in efficacy.

In addition, acrylic surfaces showed visible pitting and fissuring when exposed to accelerated peroxide formulations over three months, whereas MB-10 Tablets caused no visible damage to acrylic and ranked among the least corrosive on ferrous metals.

Can testing prove a disinfectant worked? Not exactly.

ATP testing is excellent for measuring organic residue and verifying cleaning performance. But when the goal is confirming microbial reduction, ATP and testing answer different questions.

That's why facilities validating cold-water cage wash programs should pair ATP monitoring with culture-based environmental testing.

When their cage wash boiler failed suddenly, one facility's response to a proposed cold-water cage wash program was simple:

"Plate the caging and show it works."

So that's exactly what we did.
