Kinetronics SpeckGRABBER Pro Sensor Cleaning Kit

The Kinetronics SpeckGRABBER Pro Kit is a unique tool designed to remove individual  contaminant particles  from delicate and sensitive surfaces without danger of damaging  or causing additional contamination. A small  soft washable pad on  the end of the SpeckGRABBER provides a high adhesion surface  that sticks to contaminant particles with considerably  more cohesive force  than the contaminated surface. When the SpeckGRABBER is put in contact with the particle, it adheres to the particle,  while leaving no residue  on the contacted surface. The SpeckGRABBER is non-conductive,  and can be used on  active CCDs allowing the technician to monitor the decontamination  process. The SpeckGRABBER can be used  on disk drive heads, optical sensors such a CCD arrays, mirrors and lenses,  UV windows, films and silicon wafers among other hard to clean  surfaces. The SpeckGRABBER  is available in two styles; the Pro model has a heavy-duty rubberized grip.  Both styles can be repeatedly cleaned in water, or soap solution  without diminishing  its adhesive qualities. SpeckGRABBER Cleaning Instructions SpeckGRABBERs pick-up finger oils and dust and should be cleaned  prior to each use. The best method to clean the SpeckGRABBER  is to dip the tip of the SpeckGRABBER  into the Kinetronics Precision Cleaning Solution and carefully dry with the  soft, dust-free Tiger Cloth before repeat use. If Precision Cleaning  Solution is not available,  carefully wash in a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water  and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.  Avoid pulling or "tugging" the tip, which will dislodge it from the  SpeckGRABBER shaft.http://www.pictureline.com/newsletter/2004/june/dslrclean.html How to Clean Your Sensor:
