Schematic of <strong>Bioquell</strong> HPV concentration/time graph<br />
1. HPV introduced – initial rapid increase in HPV concentration<br />
2. HPV saturation/“dew point” achieved – onset of rapid bio-<strong>decon</strong>tamination<br />
3. HPV <strong>gassing</strong> plateau – sustained micro-condensation effecting bio-deactivation<br />
4. Dwell period (contact time)<br />
5. Aeration – removal of HPV from the atmosphere typically by catalytic<br />
conversion to water vapour and oxygen, leaving no residues<br />
Schematic of dew point and <strong>Bioquell</strong> kill dynamics<br />
1. Injection of HPV into the enclosure starts (t=0)<br />
2. Only slight decline in biological indicator population prior to dew point<br />
3. Rapid micro-biological kill occurs immediately after saturation/“dew point” is achieved –<br />
process optimised to achieve reliable 6-log sporicidal reduction on all exposed surfaces<br />
4. Onset of micro-condensation correlates with rapid bio-deactivation<br />
5. Bio-deactivation achieved via micro-condensation (invisible layer) of hydrogen<br />
peroxide (2-6µm)<br />

Key benefits of HPV<br />
• Excellent material compatibility<br />
including sensitive electronics<br />
• Environmentally friendly -<br />
“residue-free” (breaks down to<br />
water vapour and oxygen)<br />
• Effective against a wide range<br />
of micro-organisms<br />
• High level disinfection achieved<br />
(6-log sporicidal reduction)<br />
HPV applications<br />
• GMP cleanrooms<br />
• Aseptic processing<br />
• Biologics<br />
• Biomedical<br />
• Biosafety/security<br />
• Material transfer chambers<br />
• Ambient <strong>decon</strong>tamination of<br />
autoclaves/freeze driers<br />
• Robotic enclosures<br />
• Safety cabinets/isolators<br />
Key features and benefits of the <strong>Clarus</strong> C HPV generator<br />
FEATURES<br />
