Selecting Decontamination Technology: Aerosolized vs. VHP
This white paper reviews the technical aspects of aerosolized hydrogen peroxide vs. VHP technology, compares their performance across key criteria, and reveals numerous advantages in using VHP.
March 14, 2022
Key Takeaways:
- VHP technology is very different from fogging hydrogen peroxide technologies that rely on aerosolization.
- VHP is a dry technology compatible with a wide range of materials and is suitable for use around sensitive electronics.
- VHP is more efficacious than aerosolized technology, with more even distribution at higher concentrations.
- VHP is proven and used globally in life sciences to safely decontaminate rooms, materials and medical products, making them safe for use in patient care.
Hydrogen peroxide is a wide spectrum disinfectant and sterilant used in a range of applications in both healthcare and life sciences. Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) has become a well-established technology for sterilization and decontamination within the life sciences industry. Recent interest in “fogging” with aerosolized hydrogen peroxide technology has raised questions about the similarities and differences of these two distinct delivery methods.
