Decontamination of Biological Safety Cabinets

Decontamination Services are vital to any organization to ensure a clean environment for proper results. SafetyPlus utilizes hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) technology to decontaminate a broad range of laboratory equipment, including:

  • Biological safety cabinets
  • Other HEPA filtration enclosures
  • CO2 uncubators
  • Incubators
  • Centrifuges
  • Robotic equipment
  • Specialty laboratory equipment
There are many advantages to HPV. Some of these include:

HEALTH AND SAFETY
HPV eliminates the use of carcinogenic formaldehyde in the laboratory
  • HPV technology holds the equipment at negative pressure so the vapor cannot leak into the laboratory
  • Hydrogen peroxide is convertaed to oxygen and water at the end of the process - hence no residues to affect test results research or employees
EFFICIENCY
  • No need to close the laboratory - HPV decontamination can take place while work in the laboratory continues
  • Signifcantly faster decontamination cycles than using formaldehyde
  • Proven kill rate  
MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
  • Proven high level of material compatibility - no damge to performances or aesthetics of sensitive equipment or electronics
COST SAVINGS   
  • The efficiency, benefits and health and safety advantages represent tangible cost savings while preserving your laboratory environment
