Key Takeaways:
- H₂O₂ vapor is non-condensing, compatible with sensitive surfaces and electronics inside biosafety cabinets.
- This EPA-registered method allows easy validation using CIs and BIs, achieving 6-log reduction.
- Vapor penetrates HEPA filters, decontaminating both dirty and clean sides of the cabinet.
- H₂O₂ vapor is less toxic than formaldehyde, leaves no residue and breaks into water and oxygen.
- Proper sealing, vapor distribution and verification ensure safe and effective cabinet release.
