Scimedico LLC is a medical services company specializing in decontamination and safe practices in laboratories. Based in West Orange, New Jersey, Scimedico LLC has developed two decontamination protocols geared toward the differences between regular surface cleaning and deep cleaning.

The 4-12 contamination protocol addresses deep contamination cleaning at certain intervals each year. It has the name 4-12 due to the procedure using four main steps, with 12 sub-steps during cleaning.

The company provides this service to labs using trained professionals and specialized products. Because this is an in-depth process, it takes a significant amount of time and supplies. Scimedico suggests using the 4-12 protocol one to six times per year, depending on the needs of the lab.

The 2-6 decontamination protocol is offered as a regular third-party cleaning service and is not as time consuming. This process has two main steps and 6 sub-steps. Since the 2-6 protocol does not provide as much deep cleaning as the 4-12 process, Scimedico suggests using the 2-6 protocol between six and 12 times per year.
