The Tristel story began in 1993 when the founding shareholders developed a proprietary chlorine dioxide formulation to be used for the disinfection of flexible endoscopes to replace glutaraldehyde.
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a broad spectrum biocide with proven activity against bacteria, viruses, yeasts, mycobacteria and bacterial spores when tested against European test norms. It is widely used in medical and pharmaceutical environments, and also in various applications such as drinking water treatment and the washing and treatment of food stuffs. ClO2 has a proven public record of being a high-level sporicidal disinfectant in contact times as short as 30 seconds.
Tristel’s performance validated within a wide range of peer-reviewed scientific publications. And our products are acknowledged and recommended by professional societies, public and private sector healthcare institutions.
Headquartered in Newmarket, the United Kingdom. Tristel has 16 global offices across Europe, Australasia and Asia.
