Improving Personnel Safety and Shortening Cycle Time with Accurate Calibration of Low-level Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour Instruments

When performing automated decontamination cycles using hydrogen peroxide vapour, user safety is of the utmost importance. To ensure this, it is important that any low-level hydrogen peroxide sensor, used to determine the end of a decontamination cycle, is accurate. Doing so also helps optimise cycle time. This paper overviews how Bioquell now have a calibration capability able to expose these sensors to a 1ppm hydrogen peroxide vapour concentration verified accurately using the published OSHA 1019 Method.
