With their own army of fully trained operators the team are well rehearsed when it comes to using their equipment to […]
Read More22 pieces of Bioquell equipment are destined for Eastern Europe, where the technology will be deployed across 11 hospitals. The systems will be used to decontaminate hospital rooms following confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), as well as many other challenging pathogens that continue to persist alongside the current global outbreak. Bioquell’s hydrogen peroxide […]
Read MoreAs the COVID-19 (also referred to as SARS-CoV-2) situation unfolds, clients are wisely preparing for their decontamination needs. This includes the use of Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapor as a solution. As a result, Bioquell is exporting over 600 bottles of our 35% hydrogen peroxide solution to Ideal Medical Solutions, our partners based in Doha, Qatar. […]
Read MoreAn article recently featured in Labmate discusses how Bioquell’s hydrogen peroxide vapour technology has been previously used to combat viruses similar to COVID-19. It reviews experience Bioquell has with other coronaviruses (such as SARS and MERS-CoV) and emerging pathogens. Importantly, the article states that “surface contamination has been implicated in the transmission of certain viruses, […]
Read More17 February 2020 Human coronaviruses1 are common throughout the world. Human coronaviruses commonly cause mild to moderate illness. Two newer human coronaviruses, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, have been known to cause severe illness. A novel coronavirus, COVID-19, emerged in 2019 and is causing concern. What is COVID-19 acute respiratory disease (COVID-19)?2 Chinese authorities identified the new […]
Read MoreStudy reveals an optimal decontamination solution for Coronavirus Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour technology can eliminate Coronavirus from contaminated surfaces A coronavirus is a virus that occurs in the nose, sinuses or upper throat. Whilst most coronaviruses are not dangerous, in early January 2020, the World Health Organisation identified the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in China. Novel […]
Read MoreWhen a Singapore-based vertical farming facility, needed a fast and effective alternative to its slow and labour intensive manual cleaning operations during a crop changeover, it turned to Bioquell and its highly effective Rapid Bio Decontamination Service (RBDS). Bioquell RBDS successfully decontaminated its indoor vertical hydroponic room without interruption to the company’s workflow. The facility […]
Read MoreAlthough Biological Indicators are commonly used as biodecontamination indicators, there are several limitations associated with their use. Bioquell chemical indicators offer a solution to the limitations of BIs and are formulated and calibrated to a defined BI response to Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapour technology, providing a visible colour change to indicate 6 log kill conditions […]
Read MoreWhen performing automated decontamination cycles using hydrogen peroxide vapour, user safety is of the utmost importance. To ensure this, it is important that any low-level hydrogen peroxide sensor, used to determine the end of a decontamination cycle, is accurate. Doing so also helps optimise cycle time. Testing and experience have shown that inaccuracies can unnecessarily […]
