Bioquell Q-10
The Bioquell Q-10 is a hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV)
bio-decontamination system which can be used to
bio-decontaminate rooms and laboratories in a non-regulated
environment. The Bioquell Q-10 has unique parametric control
for ease of operation and fast bio-decontamination cycles.
The associated Bioquell R-10 aeration and distribution system assists
vapour distribution during bio-decontamination and reduces cycle
times using a high efficiency catalytic aeration process.

provided as standard, housed
neatly on the control panel.
Repeatable cycles:
Intelligent software
monitors key
environmental factors
and optimises each
sterilisation cycle.
Simple to operate: Intuitive
icon-driven menu with colour
touch screen.
Self sterilisation: Integral fans on
both units ensure all internal parts
are sterilised, negating the risk of
cross-contamination.
Ergonomic design:
Detachable control panel

Bioquell R-10
aerator
Multiple and complex room
sterilisation: Additional
distribution ensures surface
sterilisation of topographically
complex rooms.
User friendly: Unit filling
mechanism is concealed
behind the detachable control
panel. Bottles of Bioquell
hydrogen peroxide ensure safe
handling of sterilant.
Rapid sterilisation cycles:
Fast aeration via the R-10,
which catalytically converts
hydrogen peroxide vapour to
safe and residue-free water
vapour and oxygen.

Schematic of Bioquell HPV concentration/time graph
1. HPV introduced – initial rapid increase in HPV concentration
2. HPV saturation/“dew point” achieved – onset of rapid bio-decontamination
3. HPV gassing plateau – sustained micro-condensation effecting bio-deactivation
4. Dwell period (contact time)
5. Aeration – removal of HPV from the atmosphere typically by catalytic
conversion to water vapour and oxygen, leaving no residues
Schematic of dew point and Bioquell kill dynamics
1. Injection of HPV into the enclosure starts (t=0)
2. Only slight decline in biological indicator population prior to dew point
3. Rapid micro-biological kill occurs immediately after saturation/“dew point” is achieved –
process optimised to achieve reliable 6-log sporicidal reduction on all exposed surfaces
4. Onset of micro-condensation correlates with rapid bio-deactivation
5. Bio-deactivation achieved via micro-condensation (invisible layer) of hydrogen
peroxide (2-6µm)
* Typical BI: Tyvek ® pouched 6-log
Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores
Key benefits of HPV
• Excellent material compatibility
including sensitive electronics
• Environmentally friendly –
“residue-free” (breaks down to
water vapour and oxygen)
• Effective against a wide range
of micro-organisms
• High level disinfection achieved
(6-log sporicidal reduction)
HPV applications
• Facility/area bio-decontamination
in non-regulated environments
• Food manufacturing or processing
• Laboratories
• Biomedical
• Biosafety/security
• Healthcare facilities

Disclaimer: Bioquell UK Ltd or its affiliates, distributors, agents or licensees
(together “Bioquell”) reserves the right to change the specification of the
Bioquell Q-10 and R-10 without notice. In addition, Bioquell makes no
claims as to the guarantee of sterilisation using these products; however,
Bioquell recommends that customers ensure that the requisite level of
bio-decontamination is achieved using standard biological indicators such as 6-log
Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores; and the Bioquell Q-10 and R-10, subject to
appropriate cycle development, are designed to be able to provide such levels of
bio-deactivation.
