Millrock Technology is offering H2O2 as an alternative to steam-sterilising freeze dryers.
H2O2 sterilisation is considered a safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly method of sterilisation.
This method reduces investment costs as well as the sterilisation cycle time and can be easily validated.
H2O2 sterilises equipment under vacuum at room temperature and therefore the freeze dryer does not require an expensive ASME-rated pressure vessel.
Only a small quantity of H2O2 is used to decontaminate the freeze dryer and all associated piping on the equipment.
The process prepares the chamber, doses H2O2 and then removes and neutralises the H2O2, leaving no residue.
