Decontamination Solutions for Biotechnology

Our decontamination solutions for your equipment

Standards and regulations require compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for medicines. Contamination is the unintentional introduction of chemical or microbiological impurities or foreign matter into or onto a raw material, intermediate or active substance during production, sampling, packaging or repackaging, storage or transport. It is therefore necessary to work with equipment that guarantees total asepsis and to ensure that decontamination is effective.

Decontamination is the process of removing traces of viable micro-organisms. There are several solutions to achieve this: the evaporation of peracetic acid (APA) or hydrogen peroxide (H202). Both agents have a bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal effect. The H202 method proposed by EREA has two advantages that make it preferable to peracetic acid: almost no corrosion and the possibility of continuous measurement by electrochemical probe.

Our bio-decontamination systems adapted to biotechnologies

Bio-decontamination is one of the essential steps in the operation of a pharmaceutical and biotechnological isolator. The process allows the elimination of all traces of viable micro-organisms in the chamber. The hydrogen peroxide decontamination system can be either built-in or mobile. Equipped with a display screen, operation is simple and intuitive. The rinsing time and the programming of the volumes to be bio decontaminated are facilitated. The equipment can also integrate other functionalities such as the control of the diffusion rate or the temperature control. The EREA bio decontamination device is fast with validatable and repeatable cycles. The sterilising agent has many advantages, such as:

• Time saving: the elimination of micro-organisms is fast;
• Flexibility: you can adapt the decontamination process to the substances or products handled;
• Compliance: the process used complies with current standards and regulations;
• Efficiency: using the bio-decontamination system is an efficient solution: it guarantees a 6-log reduction of the microbial load;
• Product quality.
