Cleaning, Sterilization & Bio Decontamination White Papers & Case Studies

61. Pharmaceutical Cleaning Strategies: Develop A Quality Procedure

    There are many aspects to be considered when approaching the issue of pharmaceutical cleaning. First of all, one has to consider where to perform cleaning activity: in-place (CIP) or out-of-place (COP).

62. Interpreting The Results After A Chemical Decontamination Cycle Performed With Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide

    The unexpected growth of a biological indicator (BI) at the end of a decontamination cycle is certainly an undesirable and problematic event.  What can and should be done at this point?

63. CO₂ Incubator Buying Guide — Key Considerations To Take into Account When Purchasing A CO₂ Incubator

    CO₂ incubators play a critical role in a wide range of clinical and life science research laboratories. They are designed to provide a reliable controlled in-vitro environment for optimum tissue cell culture growth.

64. Applications And Integration Of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor For Biotech/Bioprocess

    The increase in size and scale of bio-processing is presenting a new challenge. Traditional methods of sterilisation, to maintain clean facilities, are becoming difficult to deploy in a controlled and regulatory compliant way. By Richard Lucas, Ph.D., Bioquell UK Ltd.

65. Flexibility In Sterility Testing And Managing Risks Of False Positives

    This paper reviews the background to false positives and false negatives associated with the sterility test process. It explores the potential causes of such results and suggests methods of mitigation. By James Drinkwater, Bioquell UK Process & Compliance Director 

66. Top 10 Considerations When Selecting An Isolator Supplier

    While price is certainly an important reason for buying any piece of capital equipment, it is not always the top reason. There are important considerations to examine when selecting an isolator supplier.

67. Decontamination Comparison: Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor (HPV) vs. Ultraviolet Radiation (UVC)

    The fundamental differences between these technologies, in terms of their mode of antimicrobial action and the method of delivery, result in a marked difference in microbiological impact. Bioquell HPV eradicates pathogens on hospital surfaces and achieves a 6-log sporicidal reduction in vitro.

68. Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination: Vapor Vs. Aerosolized Systems

    When facing a microbial contamination challenge, hether from multidrug-resistant organisms in a hospital or in bio-pharmaceutical production facilities, not all hydrogen peroxide-based decontamination systems are the same.

69. Variability In Sterility Test Processes And The Benefits Of Modular Workstations

    This paper reviews some of the current operational practices that incorporate sterility testing and provides an insight into the role of hydrogen peroxide vapor bio-decontamination and continuous particle monitoring. By James Drinkwater, Bioquell UK Process & Compliance Director

70. Factors To Consider When Selecting Bio-Decontamination Services

    RBDS or Room Bio-decontamination service is not only about the practical side of service delivery. By Yvonne Yeo
