EBDS is a unique service from BIOQUELL using third generation hydrogen peroxide vapour technology to bio-decontaminate laboratory equipment including CO2 incubators. BIOQUELL provides the Equipment Bio-Decontamination Service using the Clarus™ S hydrogen peroxide gas generator, which is compact and mobile and can easily be moved around between rooms.
BIOQUELL's EBDS uses a unique low temperature, residue-free hydrogen peroxide vapour technology to bio-decontaminate a wide range of equipment including:
Biological safety cabinets
Other HEPA filtration enclosures
CO2 incubators
Incubators
Centrifuges
Robotic equipment / enclosures
Other laboratory equipment
There are many advantages of using EBDS. As said the equipment operates at a negative pressure ensuring the vapour cannot leak into the laboratory. The process is environmentally friendly and as the hydrogen peroxide is converted to oxygen and water vapour, there are no residue's left at the end of the bio-decontamination cycle. There is also no need to close the laboratory - EBDS can take place whilst work in the lab continues. EBDS is also significantly faster than formaldehyde decontamination and as excellent efficacy against a range of vegetative and spore forming bacteria, viruses and fungi. Also, essentially EBDS has excellent material compatibility and therefore sensitive, high-tech and expensive equipment will not get damaged by the hydrogen peroxide vapour.
