SANYO’s H2O2 system completes CO2 incubator decontamination in less than 3 hours

SANYO’s unique hydrogen peroxide vapour decontamination option provides complete decontamination while limiting incubator downtime to less than three hours - an industry first. The automated H2O2 cycle protects user safety and can be validated, if desired, ensuring compliance with the highest cGMP, GLP and GRP standards. Available with SANYO’s MCO-19AIC CO2 and MCO-19M multi-gas incubators, the H2O2 system enables full decontamination and incubator cleaning to be completed in less than a morning, achieving significant time savings compared with standard heat decontamination methods. As this is a low temperature process there is no heat stress on electrical components and zero impact on adjacent equipment and the surrounding environment.

As the H2O2 system is fully verified as a method of decontamination it is especially suitable for use in highly demanding pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, such as monoclonal antibody production.
