The Dialysate Pair

Acid + Bicarbonate = Dialysate

Dialysate is not a single product — it is formed at the point of use from three inputs: acid concentrate, bicarbonate, and purified water. The machine proportions them precisely. If either concentrate is off-spec, the entire dialysate is off-spec, and the therapy delivered is off-prescription. That's why formulation consistency matters for both halves of the pair.

Understanding the dialysate system

Modern hemodialysis uses a two-concentrate system — acid and bicarbonate are stored separately and mixed fresh at the machine.

Working with acid concentrate safely

Acid concentrate is a mildly acidic solution. It is not highly corrosive at working concentrations, but sensible handling and storage protect both staff and product integrity.

Wear gloves when decanting

Acid concentrate can irritate skin on prolonged contact. Standard nitrile or latex gloves are sufficient for routine handling.

Eye protection during decanting

Use splash-rated eye protection when transferring concentrate between containers or during any pour.

Keep sealed until use

Do not open the can before the machine is ready to draw from it. Exposure to air affects quality over time.

Store cool & upright

Keep cans upright in a cool, dry storage room away from direct sunlight. Do not stack above manufacturer's recommended height.

Never decant into unlabeled containers

Transferring concentrate into unlabeled jerry cans is a serious safety risk. Keep acid concentrate in its original labeled packaging.

Dispose of empty cans per facility policy

Do not reuse empty concentrate cans for other purposes. Dispose of them via your facility's waste management protocol.

Procurement FAQ

What is dialysis acid concentrate used for?

Acid concentrate is the acidic half of the two-component dialysate system used in hemodialysis. It is mixed by the dialysis machine with the bicarbonate component and purified water to form the final dialysate — the fluid that carries out solute exchange across the dialyzer membrane.

What is the difference between acid concentrate and bicarbonate?

Acid concentrate is the acidic component (contains acetic acid and electrolytes), while bicarbonate is the alkaline component (sodium bicarbonate powder). They are stored separately because mixing them long before use would cause precipitation. The dialysis machine proportions them together at the point of use.

How should acid concentrate be stored?

Store the sealed can upright in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap sealed until the can is loaded onto the machine. Do not decant acid concentrate into unlabeled containers. Once the seal is broken, use the can per your facility's protocol — do not store open cans for extended periods.

Is acid concentrate dangerous to handle?

Acid concentrate is a mildly acidic solution. It is not corrosive at typical handling concentrations, but it can irritate skin and eyes on prolonged contact. Standard handling — gloves, eye protection when decanting — is sufficient. Do not ingest. Follow your facility's chemical handling SOP.

Is the price per can?

Yes, Ksh 500 is per 5-litre can. Institutional bulk orders receive tiered pricing — contact us for quantities above 100 cans.

Can you set up recurring deliveries?

Yes. Dialysis centres consume acid concentrate on a predictable per-session basis. We set up recurring delivery cycles aligned to your monthly consumption so you never run short mid-treatment and never over-stock limited storage space.
