Analytical Technology (ATi) announces the launch of IsoMon, a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dual channel gas detector engineered for the reliable validation of sterilisation of aseptic environments
The new IsoMon is said to be the only gas detector on the market capable of monitoring the complete decontamination process from start to finish, being able to measure gas levels of both high and low concentration.
This groundbreaking instrument has been primarily developed to address the sterilisation needs of the pharmaceutical, biological, medical device manufacturing, defence, industrial, healthcare and food packaging industries while it can also be deployed to reduce the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections, and even the decontamination of aircraft cabins.
The new IsoMon from ATi is a two-channel detector that uniquely measures both high and low gas concentrations in sterilised environments, proving that peroxide levels have reached a high enough level for sanitisation and that they are safe following sterilisation.
The IsoMon was developed by ATi to meet the market need for simultaneous high level concentration measurements and low level verification.
ATi worked closely with industry consultant Doug Thoroghgood to design the IsoMon and build initial prototypes.
This new detector can measure samples to a maximum 2000ppm and minimum 0ppm within one single unit.
The IsoMon is designed to ensure that environments have reached sterile levels using H2O2 and that the H2O2 subsequently drops to safe ambient levels post-sterilisation.
Mike Strahand, general manager Europe at ATi, comments: "IsoMon is a first-of-its-kind gas detector that allows both high and low value measurements of hydrogen peroxide levels providing users with reliable validation data regarding the sterilisation of aseptic environments".
"This innovative methodology is set to revolutionise the way sterilisation cycles are processed."
