Prolystica 2X Concentrate Enzymatic Detergent

In a sterile processing department, the clock starts the moment an instrument leaves the OR. Soils dry, proteins bind, and lumens clog — which is why the first step in reprocessing matters as much as the sterilizer itself. SC Johnson Prolystica 2X Concentrate is an enzymatic instrument detergent and presoak built to loosen blood, protein, and other bioburden before manual or automated cleaning, giving your team a reliable foundation for every reprocessing cycle.

The 2X formula is a doubled concentrate, meaning less product per use and lower cost-per-liter than standard-strength detergents — a real consideration for high-volume facilities buying by the case. Each 1-gallon jug (item 1C3308) dilutes economically for presoak trays, ultrasonic baths, and washer-disinfectors, and the neutral-pH, low-foaming chemistry is compatible with the range of stainless, anodized, and delicate instruments most SPDs handle daily.

Its enzymatic action comes from subtilisins (protease enzymes) that break down protein soils, supported by ethoxylated alcohols and a mild surfactant system to lift and suspend debris. Citric acid and glycerin round out a formula designed to rinse cleanly and leave no residue that could interfere with downstream sterilization. The floral scent helps make manual cleaning stations more tolerable during long shifts at the sink.

Buyers commonly ask whether Prolystica 2X works in both manual and automated processes — it does, with dilution adjusted to the application, making it a versatile single-detergent choice for departments that want to standardize their chemistry across cleaning steps.
