Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Sterilization Monitoring Solution

Turnkey solution measuring hydrogen peroxide and water concentrations in vapor phase

Our GUIDED WAVE™ ClearView db® VHP / HPV Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization Monitoring Solution is a simple turnkey solution for the measurement of hydrogen peroxide and water (H₂O₂ and H₂O) concentrations in vapor phase. These are both measured together because they are codependent. The analyzer operates in real time, which takes the guesswork out of determining the H₂O₂ and H₂O concentrations during cycle development and throughout the actual sterilization cycle. The user gains continuous, accurate data for documentation and validation. Contact us today!

BENEFITS

Real-time hydrogen peroxide sterilant gas monitoring
Proven technology works in vacuum and atmospheric conditions
H₂O₂ and H₂O concentration by direct optical measurements
Vital for resistometers and VHP development
Independent reference for VHP load production
Optical RH and relative saturations measurement

LOW PRESSURE MONITORING WITH ACCURATE, RELIABLE RESULTS

Unlike chemical sensors, the VHP / HPV Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization Monitoring Solution is able to measure H₂O₂ and H₂O concentrations in vapor phase under ambient or vacuum conditions. Many processes use low pressure in the sterilization process to ensure penetration of product packaging. This system allows you to monitor these cycles so you can determine that the correct concentration of H₂O₂ and H₂O were present during each cycle.

Rapid response
Multiple sample points on one analyzer
Not subject to sensor poisons or analyte degradation
Built-in validation available

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

Our VHP / HPV Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization Monitoring Solution utilizes a multi wavelength ClearView db filter photometer analyzer platform. Optimal wavelengths for H₂O₂ and H₂O were selected to produce a simple yet rugged and reliable analyzer for this dedicated application. This new design uses fixed wavelength filter technology yet still incorporates dual beam design for stability and accuracy. Fiber optic cables take the NIR light energy to the probe in the isolator and returns the non-absorbed light energy back to the analyzer – the optical equivalent of vapor sampling. The analyzer measures as low as 0.1 mg/L of H₂O₂ and 1.0 mg/L of H₂O. With the addition of a temperature value, relative humidity and relative saturation measurements can be made.

APPLICATIONS

Here are some applications that use the VHP / HPV Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization Monitoring Solution:

Microbial contamination control
Bioreactor and fermenter monitoring
Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing
Research and development in biotechnology and life sciences
Medical device manufacturing
Food and beverage processing
Environmental monitoring and testing

INDUSTRIES

Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
Sterile production areas, such as cleanrooms and isolators
Used in other industries where hydrogen peroxide is used for sterilization, such as medical device manufacturing, biotechnology, and research laboratories.

The system is designed to measure the concentration of hydrogen peroxide vapor in real-time, providing critical information for the decontamination process. Hydrogen peroxide vapor is commonly used as a sterilization agent in these environments to ensure the elimination of microbial contamination. It’s a non-invasive and non-destructive tool that provides rapid, accurate, and reliable analysis of hydrogen peroxide vapor concentration. It helps to ensure that the decontamination process is effective and that the sterile environment is maintained.

Why is it important to measure hydrogen peroxide and water concentrations in vapor phase?

Process control: H₂O₂ and water vapor concentrations are important parameters in several industrial processes, including sterilization, disinfection, and semiconductor manufacturing. Measuring these concentrations can help ensure process efficiency, consistency, and product quality.
Regulatory compliance: Several industries, including healthcare and pharmaceuticals, have regulations and guidelines for H₂O₂ and water vapor concentrations in the air. Measuring these concentrations is necessary to ensure compliance with regulations and to protect public health.
Environmental monitoring: H₂O₂ and water vapor can be emitted from industrial processes and can impact the environment. Measuring these concentrations can help identify potential environmental impacts and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Occupational safety: H₂O₂is a strong oxidizing agent that can be hazardous to human health if inhaled or ingested in high concentrations. Measuring the concentration of H₂O₂in vapor phase can help ensure that occupational exposure limits are not exceeded, and workers are not exposed to unsafe levels.

Easy Operation and Control

The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Solution is controlled via its touch screen or remotely via Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP). All of the analytical calculations are encoded in the software. The complete system consists of a ClearView Analyzer, one or two G-SST probes, and a pair of fiber optic cables for each probe. The analyzer is pre-calibrated at the factory. No programming is required by the user. Start-up requires powering the analyzer, connecting the probe or probes via the fiber optic cables, taking a ZERO reading in the dehumidified isolator and the H₂O₂ and H₂O concentration measurements may begin.

ANALYZER OPTIONAL ENCLOSURES

Typically for medical, pharmaceutical and food industries, the Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Analyzer Solution may be housed in a stainless-steel enclosure. Other enclosure options are available, such as, painted carbon steel, explosion-proof or purged depending on area classification requirements.
