Avance Rinse Additive

The Avance collection focuses on rinse additives engineered for automated instrument washers and reprocessing equipment used in healthcare and laboratory settings. Proper rinsing is the step that determines whether instruments emerge spot-free and residue-free — and that's exactly what this product is formulated to deliver.

Our featured item, the Avance Rinse Additive (1 Gallon, Chlorine Scent, item 117697), uses a sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide base to promote sheeting action during the final rinse cycle. That sheeting action helps water drain evenly off surgical instruments, trays, and utensils, reducing the mineral spotting and streaking that can otherwise interfere with inspection and drying.

Facilities managing central sterile processing or high-volume instrument turnover typically ask three practical questions: How much do I use per cycle? Is it compatible with my washer? And how is it packaged for reordering? Rinse additives like this one are dosed automatically through the machine's dispensing system, so a single gallon container covers many cycles when metered correctly — always follow your equipment manufacturer's recommended dilution and your facility's validated reprocessing protocol. The alkaline formulation is intended for use in the rinse stage that follows enzymatic and detergent phases, working as part of a complete cleaning workflow rather than on its own.

Because it ships as a concentrated one-gallon supply, this additive suits departments that want dependable stock on hand without frequent reordering. Store it according to the label and keep it separate from acidic cleaning agents.

Rinse additives work best alongside the detergents and enzymatic solutions that precede them. Explore complementary products in our broader Infection Control and Cleaning & Disinfecting collections to build a complete instrument reprocessing routine.
