BioQuell L-4 OPTI HPV Generator

• Biodecontamination of pharmaceutical isolators and cleanrooms.
• Sterilisation of laboratory hoods and safety cabinets.
• Decontamination of freeze dryers and process equipment.
• Use in biotech research facilities for aseptic environments.
• Application in healthcare settings for critical area disinfection.

Typical decontamination volume

Varies significantly; units of this type can decontaminate volumes from small isolators (e.g., 1 m³) to entire rooms (e.g., 250 m³ or more).

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard single-phase industrial power, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Hydrogen peroxide concentration

Utilises a specific concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution, typically 30-35% w/w, for vapor generation.

Cycle time

Decontamination cycle times vary based on volume and desired log reduction, typically ranging from a few hours for small enclosures to half a day for larger spaces.

Mobility

Units of this class are generally mobile, featuring castors for easy relocation between different areas.

Control system

Typically features an integrated control panel with programmable cycles and real-time process monitoring.

Sensor technology

The 'OPTI' designation suggests advanced optical sensor capabilities for monitoring HPV concentration and ensuring process efficacy.
