Cleaning, Sterilization & Bio Decontamination White Papers & Case Studies

  1. Use Of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Biodecontamination Technology For Facility Commissioning

    Whether it is a new laboratory research facility or renovation of an existing facility, a sound commissioning process is vital to start-up success. 

  2. Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Biodecontamination Technology: Are All Hydrogen Peroxides The Same?

    When deciding to purchase your first hydrogen peroxide vapor biodecontamination equipment, there are many factors to consider. One of these factors involves the type of hydrogen peroxide you will use as the sterilant in your equipment.

  3. Decontamination By Hydrogen Peroxide: Use And Technical Developments

    This article compares the concepts of sterilization, disinfection and decontamination with reference to the different scopes thereof. A technologically new method for the vaporization of the hydrogen peroxide and its dosage control is presented. 

  4. Adding Up The True Costs Of A False Positive Sterility Test

    Use the following points to create your own list to examine just what aspects of ‘cost’ a false positive could be having on your business. They provide a base from which you can accurately determine the impact of false positives on your own production system. From this, you can begin to build a robust business case should you feel you need to mitigate risks for your own production process.

  5. Essentials Of Moist Heat Sterilization Kinetics

    The F0 algorithm was firstly introduced 1968 in the international practice of food industry, and proposed by FDA in 1976 for the pharmaceutical sterilization of Large Volume Parenterals: it is now officially included in most Pharmacopoeias.

  6. Continued Process Verification Methods In Cleaning Validation

    An increasing interest in continued process verification has led to the spread of on-line assay methods in cleaning processes. This paper deals with two different on-line applications: conductivity sampling and the Total Organic Carbon analysis for washing machines.

  7. Disinfectant Validation: A Roadmap For Regulatory Compliance

    By Carol A. Burnett, Jim Polarine, Jr., Elaine Kopis Sartain, and David J Shields.

    The U.S. FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration), MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority) and CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration), amongst others, routinely make observations about disinfectant validation studies and disinfectant practices.
