Concentrates and disinfectants
We supply dialysis acid concentrates, bicarbonate concentrates and disinfectants to registered renal units only. From Midrand, we arrange next-day courier to major centres and scheduled deliveries further afield.
What this section covers
This section brings together the fluid products used around routine dialysis supply planning: acid concentrates, bicarbonate concentrates and disinfectants. It is intended for unit buyers, pharmacy teams, stores staff and operational managers who need a clear route to the right product category without patient-specific guidance.
We supply to registered renal units only, not to members of the public. If your unit is ordering for a main hospital site in Johannesburg or Pretoria, or for a satellite programme further out, we can help you organise regular replenishment from Midrand with delivery matched to your receiving arrangements.
- Acid and bicarbonate concentrates for scheduled unit purchasing
- Disinfectants for routine equipment and system cleaning requirements
- Ordering support for repeat lines and multi-site delivery planning
Acid and bicarbonate concentrates
Acid and bicarbonate concentrates are usually planned together because the order cycle, storage space and delivery frequency often affect both lines at the same time. Some units buy against a fixed monthly forecast while others prefer staggered deliveries to reduce holding space in a busy store room.
When comparing options, buyers generally look first at the pack format used in their unit, then at handling needs, receiving capacity and how often stock can be rotated. Keeping these products grouped on one purchase plan can make month-end ordering simpler, especially where central procurement signs off and the renal unit receives separately.
- Choose formats that match your unit's established equipment setup and procurement process
- Check whether your store has enough floor space for the delivery size you prefer
- Plan rotation so earlier received stock is issued first
- Consider whether your site needs one consolidated drop or split deliveries during the month
How disinfectants differ from concentrates
Disinfectants are normally managed differently from acid and bicarbonate lines because demand can change with machine turnaround, cleaning schedules and the number of treatment stations in use on a given week. They may also need separate internal sign-off depending on whether your unit stores them with consumables or under a cleaning stock process.
A practical way to compare categories is to look at handling and ordering rather than treatment factors.
- Acid concentrates: usually ordered as part of regular consumable replenishment for planned treatment activity
- Bicarbonate concentrates: often paired with acid orders to keep receiving and rotation aligned
- Disinfectants: commonly reviewed against cleaning schedules, machine downtime windows and store segregation rules
- Concentrates: tend to follow predictable reorder dates
- Disinfectants: may require closer monitoring after busy periods or unexpected maintenance work
If your unit is unsure how to split ordering between these categories, send your enquiry through the contact page and we can help structure the supply side of the order around your normal delivery rhythm.
Storage and handling points buyers should check
Before placing a larger order, it helps to confirm your receiving bay access, stacking limits and internal transfer route from goods-in to the renal store. Midrand, Johannesburg and Pretoria sites often have very different loading arrangements, and coastal destinations may need extra attention to dry storage conditions because of humidity.
General good practice is to keep products in their original packaging until issue, protect them from excess heat and moisture, and avoid mixing newer receipts in front of older stock. A clean, labelled area makes counts quicker and helps reduce avoidable write-offs. If your facility experiences power cuts from time to time, make sure the receiving team knows where incoming stock should be moved promptly rather than left at an access point.
- Keep cartons off damp floors and away from direct sun
- Use clear date rotation methods for each batch received
- Separate cleaning products from general consumable packing where your site rules require it
- Check for visible transit damage before signing off delivery
Ordering for single sites and multi-site groups
Some renal units order for one location only, while others coordinate stock for several treatment points. The best ordering method depends on whether each site can receive independently, what paperwork must accompany the consignment and how often your team wants deliveries arriving.
For a single site, one scheduled monthly order may be enough. For multi-site groups, staged deliveries can help avoid overfilling smaller store rooms while still keeping central purchasing in control. This can be useful where one unit is in Midrand and another receives by courier in a different province, or where receiving times are restricted by hospital logistics.
- Single site orders can suit units with stable demand and adequate storage
- Split deliveries can suit groups with limited space at satellite facilities
- Standing arrangements can reduce repeat admin on regular lines
- Delivery notes should match the receiving unit name and contact role exactly
Delivery from Midrand and how to enquire
We dispatch from Midrand, between Johannesburg and Pretoria, with next-day courier to major centres and scheduled deliveries further afield. Delivery planning matters with concentrates and disinfectants because units often need stock to arrive inside a defined receiving window rather than at general hospital goods-in after hours.
When sending an enquiry through our contact page, include the registered renal unit name, delivery town, product category, expected ordering pattern and any site restrictions for receiving. That gives us enough to respond clearly without back-and-forth and helps the stores team get what it needs first time. We do not supply to the public, and we do not provide patient-level product selection or treatment advice.
