Kimtech Science Kimwipes Delicate Task Wipes

Anyone who works with lenses, slides, fiber optics, or sensitive instruments knows the frustration of a wiper that leaves lint behind or scratches the surface. Kimwipes from Kimberly-Clark's Kimtech Science line are the lab-and-optics standard for exactly this reason: low-lint, absorbent tissue that cleans delicate surfaces without redepositing debris. Honest Medical stocks the full range of these disposable, non-sterile task wipes in the ply weights and sheet sizes most commonly specified in laboratory, optical, and precision-cleaning settings.

Size and ply are the two things worth getting right when you order. The compact 1-ply 34155 (roughly 4.4 x 8.4 inches) and the classic 34120 are the pocket-format wipes most people picture — ideal for wiping microscope objectives, pipette tips, and small optics. Need more coverage or reach for a single-sheet job? The 2-ply 34705 (about 11.2 x 12.3 inches) and the larger 34721 (roughly 14.7 x 16.6 inches) handle bigger surfaces and heavier moisture without falling apart. The 1-ply 34133 splits the difference at 11.8 x 11.8 inches and is offered both as a 196-wipe box and a bulk case of 2,940 for high-throughput labs.

A common question: are Kimwipes safe on coated lenses and screens? The delicate-task tissue is designed to be gentle on soft surfaces, though for critical optics many users pair them with a cleaning solvent rather than dry-wiping. They are non-sterile, so they suit general lab and instrument care rather than sterile-field procedures. Note the sheet dimensions vary slightly across production runs (you'll see 4-2/5 x 8-2/5 inch and 4.39 x 8.2 inch listed for similar formats) — order by the model number your protocol calls for to stay consistent.

Buying for a facility? Boxes are the practical unit for benchtop dispensing, while case quantities keep supply rooms stocked and lower your per-wipe cost. Browse the sizes above to match your task, from delicate optics to routine spill and surface cleanup.
