Umonium38 Neutralis for Laboratory Floors

A concentrated detergent disinfectant for biocleaning in IVF and research laboratories.

Floors are where every shoe, trolley, and spill ends up. Umonium38 Neutralis is an odourless, colourless, fragrance-free concentrate made in Belgium by Laboratoire Huckert’s International, a family company making disinfectants since 1957. It was developed for sensitive environments, including IVF laboratories. Huckert publishes a daily floor procedure for IVF and ART laboratories, so your team works from a written method.

WHY LABORATORIES CHOOSE IT

• Cleans and disinfects in one product, with surfactants for degreasing
• Odourless, colourless and pH neutral
• Free from aldehyde, peroxide and biguanide
• No CMR components, endocrine disruptors, or phthalates
• One concentrate: 1 L makes 200 L of 0.5% solution
• Built-in dosing: the 1 L bottle and 5 L pump each deliver exactly 25 mL, so there are no separate dispensers to buy
• Stable for 36 months from date of manufacture, including after opening if kept closed in its original container
• Made under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016, with controls at 76 points and a 120-hour quarantine before release

FLOOR PROCEDURE - Huckert’s method for IVF and ART laboratories.

Daily
•    Prepare a 0.5% solution: one 25 mL dose per 5 L of water.
•    Wet sweep the whole room first, mopping in a wide figure 8 from the back of the room towards the exit.
•    Wash the floor with the 0.5% solution and allow it to dry. Huckert recommends microfibre materials for routine cleaning.

Weekly
•    Rinse the floor with water. This prevents product buildup that can leave surfaces sticky.
Weekly disinfection: prepare a 2.5% solution (25 mL per litre of water) and apply to the cleaned floor with a minimum contact time of 10 minutes.

Hand hygiene before and after. Wear appropriate PPE. Record the procedure for traceability. Use bacteriologically controlled mains water. Huckert recommends changing prepared solution daily.

 

TESTED TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS

Independent laboratory results, from the product datasheet:

Activity	Standard	Test	Concentration	Contact time
Bactericidal (S. aureus, E. hirae, P. aeruginosa, E. coli)	EN 13697	Surface	0.5%	15 min, clean and dirty
Fungicidal (C. albicans, A. niger)	EN 13697	Surface	2.5%	15 min, clean and dirty
Virucidal (poliovirus, adenovirus, murine norovirus)	EN 14476	Suspension	2.5% or 0.5%	10 min or 20 min
Mycobactericidal (M. terrae, M. avium)	EN 14348	Suspension	2.5%	10 min

 

The daily floor wash uses 0.5%. The fungicidal, virucidal and mycobactericidal results above need the higher concentration or longer contact time shown. Disinfection is carried out on pre-cleaned surfaces.

IS IT SPORICIDAL?

No, and we don’t claim it. The datasheet covers bactericidal, fungicidal, mycobactericidal and virucidal activity. Huckert’s position on spores in the environment is that cleaning does most of the work: remove soil with mechanical action first, clean routinely at 0.5%, and disinfect weekly at 2.5%. Huckert recommends reserving sporicidal products for outbreak management rather than daily use.

DATA FOR IVF LABORATORIES

• Mouse Embryo Assay: 95.24% to 100% of embryos reached expanded blastocyst, against 93.33% in controls (specification: above 80%).
• Human Sperm Survival Assay: motility and survival indices from 0.92 to 1.02 (specifications: above 0.75 and above 0.80).
• Scope of these tests: Embryotools Srl (ISO 17025, GLP) tested Neutralis Tissues on culture dishes and tubes across batches from 2023 to 2025. Huckert extends the results to Neutralis at 2.5%. The tests did not cover floors.
• VOC: in Huckert’s internal testing, in a closed hood with no ventilation, the concentrate peaked at 141 ppb (346.6 µg/m³) when the bottle was opened. Levels returned to baseline once diluted. The peak was below the 500 µg/m³ reference value cited in the IVF air quality literature.

MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY

Huckert lists compatibility with PVC, polyurethane, rubber, polyethylene, glass, stainless steel 410, and silicones, among others. Check your floor manufacturer’s guidance and test a small area before first use.
