Photographic Solution's Digital Survival Kit is all you need to keep your sensors and optics clean while on the road.
The kit comes in a nylon pouch which has a belt loop on the back side. Kit contains 4 Sensor Swabs, 10 PEC*PADs, 1 e-wipe packet, 0.5 fl. oz. E2 and a jet black nylon zippered travel pouch.
E2 for TIN OXIDE Sensors
E2, the highest purity Tin Oxide sensor cleaner, is now available, containing less than 5 parts per million (ppm) of contamination (the whitish residue left after evaporation) It dries as quickly as it can be applied leaving absolutely no visible residue, making it the only recommended cleaner for Indium Tin Oxide coated CCD and CMOS sensor cleaning when used with Sensor Swabs.

Directions for cleaning Tin Oxide Sensors:
Dispense several drops onto new Sensor Swab. With one side of the swab, firmly drag it across the sensor. Repeat in opposite direction using the clean side of swab. Discard swab. Repeat if necessary with new swab.
Note: E2™ may be used with conventional CMOS / CCD sensors.
