Decontamination booth
PORT Bioquell

Hydrogen peroxide vapour is the safest and fastest sporicidal agent recommended for aseptic Portprocessing, biotechnology and life sciences applications. Because of the very rapid bio-decontamination cycle it is possible to utilise the very latest sporicidal gassing techniques recommended in EC GMPs for "just-in-time" transfer of materials, equipment and components and can be used for sterile processing. This eliminates the labour-intensive, hazardous, difficult to control and non-validatable process of manual alcohol spray and wipe disinfection.

Product, components or equipment are loaded into the PORT chamber. The chamber is automatically sealed and using the Clarus L hydrogen peroxide gas generator a high concentration of vapour is produced and distributed evenly throughout the load. Contact time for biological inactivation is very short. Hydrogen peroxide vapour is decomposed to oxygen and water vapour at the end of the cycle leaving no residues. On completion the load can be withdrawn on a sliding trolley into an aseptic processing workstation or processing area. The entire process takes as little as 15 minutes.

Operation of the PORT is simple and automatic. The PORT uses the industry standard Siemens PLC control system to communicate directly with the Clarus™ L hydrogen peroxide vapour generator. Additional modes of operation are available to decontaminate the connected workstation isolators and for cleaning and maintenance. The PORT can also be used as a traditional pass-through using manual disinfection techniques
