Decontamination
Hydrogen
Peroxide Decontamination
The Technology
Hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) Vapor is rapid and residue free
and fast becoming the bio-decontaminant of choice in the laboratory and
pharmaceutical sectors.
VPHP is environmentally friendly, decomposing to oxygen
and water, and is highly effective against spore forming bacteria, viruses,
fungi and mold. It is compatible with materials normally used in aseptic
processing and laboratory applications.
The VPHP generator used by ENV is engineered to gas
the equipment or room at negative pressure. If the equipment were to leak,
no peroxide would escape into the room. The unit has an internal catalyst
for neutralization, thus no other equipment is required for neutralization.
Advantages of VPHP:
- Can operate at low temperatures
- Maintaining proper humidity levels is not as critical
as with formaldehyde
- Is residue free
- Has fast “kill” times
- Is a fully validated technology
Applications:
Some of the ideal applications for utilizing VPHP technology
are:
- Biological Safety Cabinets
- CO2 Incubators
- Isolators
- Filling Lines
- Freezers/refrigerators
- Lock Chambers
- Pass Through Hatches
- Freeze Dryers
- BSL-3 and BSL-4 Laboratories
- Cleanrooms
