Residual Testing on a Medical Device
November 10, 2021
Since the use of chlorine dioxide to sterilize medical devices is fairly new, the acceptable levels of ClO2 residue left on medical devices after the sterilization process has never been defined. The following study was carried out in order to determine how much (if any) ClO2 residue is present subsequent to a ClO2 sterilization cycle.

Compatibility of Materials Subject to Chlorine Dioxide Gas Sterilization
July 1, 2023
Chlorine dioxide gas is an oxidating agent. Oxidizers remove hydrogen atoms through the addition of oxygen. While this process may result in no material changes, a difference in material weight could be detrimental to the final product. To determine the compatibility of materials with Chlorine dioxide gas sterilization, two studies were completed.

Bacterial Endotoxins
April 22, 2021
Since its introduction, the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL test) has become one of the most important tools used in the pharmaceutical industry. It has allowed for a level of bacteria and pyrogen monitoring that simply eluded manufacturers when the RPT was the only pyrogen test available.

Lyophilizer Sterilization
April 1, 2019
A lyophilizer (lyo) is typically decontaminated on a periodic basis and usually after each production batch. The typical process is to decontaminate by using steam to raise the temperature and hold it there until 6-log kill is attained.

ß-Lactam Inactivation Utilizing Chlorine Dioxide Gas
April 1, 2019
Chlorine dioxide gas is proven effective against ß-lactams(beta-lactams) and can inactive them on equipment or in rooms so that there is no risk of allergic exposure. ClO2, as a true gas, will reach all areas of your room and equipment surfaces.
