BIOQUELL are world leaders in the provision of bio-decontamination systems and services. Unique patented Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) Clarus™ technology destroys unwanted bacteria, viruses and fungi from all surfaces. BIOQUELL systems provide ‘residue-free’, safe and repeatable sterilisation of rooms, buildings and equipment, making HPV the clear alternative when replacing formaldehyde and other sterilant delivery systems.

BIOQUELL has been in existence for over a century specialising in the design, manufacture and application of complete solutions for decontamination, supplying consultancy, validation, equipment and services to control airborne and surface contamination in both GMP and GLP environments.

Bio Decontamination Equipment

BIOQUELL have developed a range of products and services employing the patented process of HPV generation for the bio-decontamination of colonised and contaminated equipment, rooms or even buildings. Computer-controlled vapour generators produce HPV, effectively killing micro-organisms, before the same equipment recycles the gas through a catalytic converter, reducing it to a harmless combination of water vapour and oxygen.

The latest addition to the BIOQUELL product range is the BIOQUELL Z – the latest concept in HPV full zone decontamination. It is fully mobile for rapid deployment so can be used for both routine and emergency decontamination applications. With fast and fully automated cycles via the parametric control feature, this unit can give repeatable and reliable eradication of bio-burden from zones, rooms or buildings.

The HPV decontamination process also has excellent material compatibility, and is safe to use with sensitive, high-tech and expensive electronic equipment. Due to its simplicity of operation and speed of cycles, its benefits can be applied across various sectors from healthcare to life sciences.

ClarusLaboratory Fume Cupboards

BIOQUELL pioneered the use of carbon filtration for chemical fume control and with more then 25 years experience of providing chemical solutions, clients can be sure of the very best quality product with attention to every detail.

Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour Sterilisation

The Clarus C is a top of the range multi-function HPV generator providing high-level disinfection and surface sterilisation capability for volumes up to 400cu.m. This system is used for the bio-decontamination of rooms, chambers, containment isolators, process and laboratory equipment for research, production and applications in tightly controlled pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.

The compact, mobile Clarus L can be used to bio-decontaminate a wide range of laboratory equipment and is safe and easy to operate. For common laboratory equipment such as biological safety cabinets it can be used to replace formaldehyde, which is safer and also completely residue-free. It can also be used to decontaminate pharmacy isolators and other specialist equipment such as IVC systems.

ClaruslThe Clarus PORT is an advanced HPV rapid decontamination chamber. Because of the rapid decontamination cycle – typically 15 minutes – it is possible to utilise the very latest in sporicidal gassing techniques recommended in EC GMP’s for “just in time” transfer of materials, equipment and components. The main applications of the Clarus PORT are when used as a bio-decontamination chamber between two aseptic processing workstations, such as isolators or laminar flow units, or as a pass-through chamber into a cleanroom.

Bio Decontamination Service

BIOQUELL also offer services for the bio-decontamination of both facilities of any size / volume and equipment. BIOQUELL’s Room Bio-Decontamination Service (RBDS) is a unique service, used for high level hydrogen peroxide vapour decontamination of enclosed spaces; ranging from vehicles to entire buildings. Using RBDS offers many key benefits; firstly as the process is so rapid facility downtime is kept to a minimum, saving money by decreasing wasted production time.

Bio Decontaminatioon ServiceEach cycle is fully verified using industry standard Biological Indicators and has proven efficacy against a wide range of micro-organisms. The service is carried out by specialist, highly trained engineers and can be carried out as required be it for an emergency or during a scheduled shut-down period.

BIOQUELL’s Equipment Bio-Decontamination Service (EBDS) HPV technology to bio-decontaminate a wide range of laboratory equipment including biological safety cabinets, HEPA filtration enclosures, incubators, centrifuges and robotic equipment.

BIOQUELL technology has also been adopted by many market leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. Typical bio-decontamination applications include:

  • Commissioning bio-decontamination
  • Annual shut down bio-decontamination
  • De-commissioning bio-decontamination of areas used for pathogen work
  • Eradication of problematic micro-organisms from production lines and laboratory areas
  • Emergency bio-decontamination for accidental release or spillage of micro-organisms
  • Regular clean room bio-decontamination
  • Robotic equipment

Biological Filtration Systems

The principle of filtration is simple. Contaminated air is drawn through two separate filters with clean air recirculating back into the laboratory. Astec fume cupboards are used in a diverse range of applications, from standard laboratory usage, through to complex forensic applications. Our highly trained team can advise on cabinets and filters suitable for specific requirements.

BIOQUELL is also one of the world's leading suppliers of NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) filtration systems for the military and civil defenceteams who rely on BIOQUELL’s expertise in activated carbon and HEPA filtration.

Based in Hampshire, UK, BIOQUELL now has growing operations around the world, including subsidiary companies in America and France.

    As more and more companies change their decontamination protocols from traditional methods such as formaldehyde fumigation, BIOQUELL has seen a positive upturn in the need to provide an alternative which offers a safe, easy to use and highly effective method in the form of hydrogen peroxide vapour (H2O2). This article looks at the reasons for this change and the various applications of BIOQUELL’s Clarus technology, specifically involved in the decontamination of laboratory equipment.
