Glute Out® Neutralize Glutaraldehyde & OPA Disposal

Glute Out® Neutralizer for Glutaraldehyde & OPA


Protect Your Staff

Disposing of used disinfectants can be extremely dangerous.
  • Carrying a container of used disinfectant to the drain for disposal is the most frequent cause of serious spills and splashes.
  • Pouring used glutaraldehyde or OPA agitates the chemical, causing elevated exposure levels.

Protect The Sewer

It is illegal to dump untreated disinfectant down the drain in most states.

Glute-Out® also passes the Fish Toxicity Test.

Simple Solution

Glute-Out® from PCI medical eliminates these problems by quickly and easily deactivating glutaraldehyde and OPA prior to disposal. Glute-Out® is a glycine powder neutralizer that will effectively deactivate both glutaraldehyde and OPA. Deactivation takes place in just five minutes.

Available in 3 sizes:
  • Sm. Bottle (NG-QT) - Neutralizes 1 quart of OPA or Glutaraldehyde (Small Case 24 Bottles)
  • Med. Bottle (NG-1GAL) - Neutralizes 1 gallon of OPA or Glutaraldehyde (Medium Case 24 Bottles)
  • Lg. Bottle (NG-5GAL) - Neutralizes 5 gallons of OPA or Glutaraldehyde (Large Case 12 Bottles)

Glute-Out® Meets California EPA Requirements


The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (California EPA) has classified used glutaraldehyde and OPA as hazardous waste. The passage of California Senate Bill #2035 allows medical facilities to treat and dispose of used glutaraldehyde and OPA without a permit, providing that:
  • The sole active chemical of the neutralizing solution is glycine
  • The waste is generated by a medical facility during the disinfection of medical devices
  • The waste is treated at the site where it was generated

Glute-Out® is a glycine powder neutralizer and can be used effectively while adhering to these standards.
