The feasibility of using vapor hydrogen peroxide (VHP™) as an alternative to steam
sterilization has been examined using a pilot plant freeze dryer equipped with a prototype …

The use of steam in sterilization processes is limited by the implementation of heat-sensitive
components inside the machines to be sterilized. Alternative low-temperature sterilization …

The feasibility of utilizing vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) as a surface
decontaminant and sterilant was evaluated in a centrifuge application. The prototype VPHP …

Sterilization of freeze dryers is usually performed by subjecting them to saturated steam
under pressure by steam (121° C, 2 bar a., 30 minutes). In order to avoid such stressful …

An advantage of vapor phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) is that it can readily react to form
reactive free radicals, which perform the sterilization and form water and hydrogen by …

The use of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in the global healthcare industry and other
industries that require high levels of contamination control has grown steadily. This growth is …

In low-temperature sterilization for the medical field, hydrogen peroxide sterilization is widely
used for its safety. However, its low penetrability and residual amount of sterilant are major …
