Key Takeaways:
- VHP disperses more effectively compared to aHP, reaching all cleanroom surfaces uniformly.
- Precise heating converts hydrogen peroxide into vapor, independent of ambient conditions.
- Routine vaporous biodecontamination prevents contamination in life sciences facilities.
- VHP moves freely at ambient temperatures and humidity, enhancing contact with microorganisms on all exposed surfaces.
- VHP’s safety and material compatibility make it ideal for stringent contamination control.
STERIS Life Sciences has a new published article in Cleanroom Technology: "Vaporous Biodecontamination: A Matter of Efficiency".
This article addresses the differences between vaporized and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide based on the following areas:
- How they are generated
- Their physical properties
- Performance differences
- Implications for the successful application of each
