The Photonic CleanTouch™ Stick | Solvent-Free Optical Cleaning for Fibers, Connectors, and PICs

The Photonic CleanTouch™ Stick from Krell Technologies is a compact, cost-effective, one-touch cleaning solution for critical photonic components. Engineered with a proprietary photonic-grade substrate, it’s ideal for precision cleaning across a wide range of optical surfaces, including:

• Optical fibers and ferrules

• Fiber optic connectors

• Photonic integrated circuits (PICs)

• Planar waveguides

• Cleanroom components

This single-step cleaning method removes all contaminants—such as dirt, dust, and residual buffer coatings—without leaving behind residue. The component is simply touched against the cleaning portion of the stick, causing debris to transfer and stay on the substrate. No solvents, compressed air, or costly dispensers are required.

Key Features:

• Solvent-free, chemical-free cleaning

• One-touch operation for fast in-process or post-process use

• Compact, portable, and easy to store

• Effective for both lab and field applications

• Sold in packs of 25

Whether used in fiber optic manufacturing, PIC packaging, or photonics R&D labs, the CleanTouch™ Stick offers safe and efficient cleaning without the need for additional tools or consumables.
