Testing to date has been conducted over a one-week period on four contaminants using immersion cleaning with no rinsing and air drying. An attempt was made during the evaluations to identify a product that could be used on all of the contaminants. Many products were identified to meet this requirement. Of the fifteen products tested, eight were successful for each contaminant.
