| Effects | Neutralizes Artifacts |
| Source | Unknown, Neutralizer Processing Center |
| Danger | None/Low (if ingested) |
| Location | Warehouse 13 (Neutralizer Processing System) |
Neutralizer, also known as "the purple stuff," appears in various episodes as a glowing, purple liquid with an apparently high viscosity. It is created in the area of the Warehouse nicknamed "the Gooery" and helps render overly active artifacts temporarily inert.
Exactly how neutralizer functions is unknown, but it does cause any artifacts or anything that affects artifacts to be neutralized. When reacting with an artifact a burst of electricity can be seen. It can be assumed that neutralizer also neutralizes any electric charge an artifact may have.
| Forms | Explanation |
| Gloves | The purple gloves that all warehouse personnel use, have some form of neutralizer in them. These gloves are used whenever handling an artifact to keep it from interacting with its handler. |
| Bags | The bags that field agents use also have a form of neutralizer in them. These bags are meant to store any artifact that can be fit in them, which promptly neutralizes them. in the webisodes Of Monsters and Men they are revealed to be golden ratio size neutralizer grid polyethylene static bags |
| Containment Fields | The fields that surround all artifacts in the Dark Vault are there to constantly keep the artifacts neutralized. These fields run off of back-up generators |
| Goo | Containers of neutralizer in this form are kept throughout the warehouse in case of any artifacts that “act” up, and can be transported in portable canisters for field agents to use, either to immerse the target artifact in, much like their bag conterpart, or to throw upon the artifact, if it is too large to be encased in the aforementioned container. |
| Goo-nade | Releases a cloud of neutraliser 'goo' when detonated. Useful for large groups of artifacts or long-range neutalisations. |
| Goo-zooka | An old RPG launcher that fires shells filled with pressurized neurtralizing goo. Can neutralize artifacts a distance away and has a 20 foot blast radius. |
| Scrubber | "This scrubber nullifies psychically triggered artifacts by really getting down to all those pesky, hard-to-reach pores". |
| Sprinklers | A less viscous form of neutrilizer that can be sprayed on specific places in the warehouse to put out artifact "flare ups" of to cancel negative energy |
| Stability Field | Neutrilizer is pumped throughout the warehouse, stabilizing the artifacts within it. This field cannot control all of the artifacts, so containers and distributors of neutralizer are still needed. |
