6. Ozone Disinfection Units, Ozone-Decontamination Units and Locks
These units employ the
sterilizing effects of UV radiation (secondary) and ozone gas (primary).
Bacteria, spores and
germs are killed through UV/ozone-gas decontamination, even in inaccessible
areas (joints, hollow spaces, etc.). Even the open reserve water supply required
for moisturization and condensation in cell-culture incubator cabinets can be
characterized as sterile following UV/ozone-gas decontamination.
6.1 Mobile Ozone Disinfection
Units / Ozone Decontamination Units
Disinfection / Decontamination of CO2 Incubators
As an alternative to
work-intensive manual disinfection we have developed mobile UV/Ozone
Disinfection Unit / Decontamination Units to eliminate fungi,
bacteria and germs in CO2 Incubators.
Several studies
conducted under practical conditions confirm that the treatment of CO2 incubator
cabinets with UV/ ozone reduced or even prevented the contamination of
cell cultures for a period of several weeks.
Our patented
decontamination unit replaces work-intensive and often hazardous manual cleaning
with chemical agents.

6.2 Disinfection Locks / Decontamination Locks
We have developed Ozone-Gas
Decontamination Chambers / Disinfection Chambers which function as lock
between grey and clean-room/laboratory areas in co-operation with research
institutes and industry representatives.
These Disinfection
Units / Decontamination Units are used for decontamination and supply
functions in isolated areas of laboratories and hospitals.
The ozone is generated by
special UV radiators inside the cabinet. In contrast to other gas-sterilization
processes, our units require no complicated and costly gas supply and
disposal systems.
The use of vacuum
employing evacuation and flooding cycles ensures a pulsing application of gas
and intensify the penetrating effect.
A built-in catalytic
converter automatically reduces the ozone-gas atmosphere to a level below
the permissible MAK value of 0.1 ppm following the decontamination process.
