Bio-Screen Biohazard Wipes

Bio-Screen biohazard wipes from Thermo Fisher Scientific are made for one job: cleaning up and containing biohazardous spills quickly, without cross-contamination. Laboratory technicians, phlebotomists, and infection-control staff reach for these disposable wipes when handling blood, bodily fluids, or other potentially infectious material on benchtops and hard surfaces.

Each wipe combines cellulose and polyethylene in a 4 x 4 inch format — cellulose for absorbency, polyethylene for wet strength so the wipe holds together during a spill instead of shredding. The distinctive white-and-orange coloring is deliberate: it signals biohazard use, keeps these wipes visually separate from general-purpose cleaning cloths, and helps staff follow spill protocols consistently. Both the 1441252D and 1441252E come poly-packed to protect the wipes until the moment they're needed.

A common question: are these sterile? No — Bio-Screen wipes are non-sterile, which is exactly what you want for spill cleanup and surface decontamination, where cost-effective, single-use disposal matters more than a sterile field. Use one, absorb the contaminant, and discard it in your biohazard waste stream. Because they're disposable, there's no laundering, no reuse, and no chance of carrying pathogens from one surface to the next.

Keep them stocked at every workstation where exposure is possible, alongside sharps containers and PPE, so response is immediate when a spill happens. If you're building out a broader lab-safety and specimen-handling program, explore related lines such as Bio Plas for specimen storage and labware, and Bio-Challenge Test-Pak for sterilization monitoring.
