Hydrogen peroxide biodecontamination unit
Achieve precision in sterile environments with a reliable vaporized hydrogen peroxide system designed for rapid biodecontamination of isolated laboratory and production areas, ensuring safe and compliant results for critical processes.

Generates Vapor for Biodecontamination Processes
The VHP M100 Biodecontamination Unit from STERIS is designed to address the strict sterility demands of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research environments. Utilizing a dry hydrogen peroxide vapor process, the VHP M100 ensures thorough decontamination of small, sealed enclosures like isolators and glove boxes. Its process involves four phases: dehumidification, conditioning, biodecontamination, and aeration, effectively eliminating microorganisms while breaking down into harmless water vapor and oxygen post-process.
This unit is suitable for producing sterile injectable medications, medical devices, and advanced cell therapies, benefitting industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing and biological research. The VHP M100 can be deployed in both mobile and integrated configurations, easily fitting into batch or manual operations.
Built for reliability, it accommodates up to 70 cubic feet per cycle, with options for flexible integration using GAMP-compliant systems. Its environmentally friendly approach reduces energy consumption by recycling reusable desiccant cartridges. STERIS provides comprehensive service support, ensuring prolonged equipment lifespan and continuous compliance with industry standards.
