A range of suitable and standardised decontamination protocols exist for the decontamination of different types and makes of safety cabinets including both re-circulatory and ducted biological safety cabinets, utilising either the Bioquell L2 or Bioquell C hydrogen peroxide vapour generators
Bioquell have many years experience in working with biological safety cabinets and can advise on the fastest and most appropriate methods of decontamination.
Hydrogen peroxide vapour has many advantages over alternative methods such as formaldehyde including its speed, safety and the ability of the lab to stay operational during the cabinet decontamination process.
Hydrogen peroxide vapour is an ideal method for providing a safe and effective method for the decontamination of Biological Safety Cabinets either routinely or prior to servicing or carrying out DOP test on the HEPA filters. Holding the decontamination at negative pressure means that the risk of hydrogen peroxide leakage is minimised thus negating the need to vacate the room during the decontamination process.
Will hydrogen peroxide vapour damage my HEPA filters?
Hydrogen peroxide vapour is safe to use with all modern HEPA filters. Mainstream, hydrogen peroxide generators contain HEPA filters that are continually exposed to hydrogen peroxide during the decontamination process with no adverse effect.
