Tween-20 and Triton X-100 are often used to treat tubing, equipment, etc. to prevent crypto from sticking to
surfaces and to minimize crypto attaching to debris in environmental test samples. My question is: does anyone
have experience using other detergents? Have any studies been done comparing different types and
concentrations of detergents or combinations of detergents for the above purpose?
