Our heritage

Over the last 10 years (2002-2012) Bioquell Biodecon division has invested £12.3m in R&D. Over the same 10 years, we have grown our biodecon R&D team to around 26 people. Bioquell is now the leading global supplier of bio-decontamination systems, led by advances developed in hydrogen peroxide vapour technology (HPV).

Built on a heritage of 'sanitary/sterilization/bio-decontamination' technology, the original business was formed over 280 years ago in 1730, supplying plumbing and sanitation services to the public and private sector. This led to developments in flushing toilets/cisterns (including many installed at Royal residences and leading hospitals). As time progressed, work began to focus on developing advanced filtration products, leading to a range of fume cupboards and more recently laminar flow microbiological safety cabinets under the Astec and Microflow brand names. This filtration technology has also been employed in the defence sector providing chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) protection for armoured vehicles, ships and aircraft.

Today, alongside the advanced CBRN protection, HPV bio-decontamination has been extensively developed. There is significant support to the efficacy of this unique Bioquell technology provided through numerous published peer-reviewed scientific papers. Supported by around 275 dedicated employees around the world, Bioquell is the clear market leader in the development  and application of HPV technology, leading to many opportunities for deployment in the life science, healthcare, defence and food sectors.
