Harness Bioquell's unique Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour, trusted by the world's leading institutions to deliver a consistent and reliable >6-log decontamination every time. With over 300,000 decontaminations under our belt, supported by a large library of independent peer-reviewed scientific literature, Bioquell's services and equipment are designed to eliminate doubt and provide you and your patients with the safest environment.

With Bioquell, there are no concerns about efficacy. Every exposed surface regardless of location in the room (including an adjacent bathroom) receives a 6-log kill. This is the standard of decontamination that high containment labs require for areas hosting research on hazardous organisms. These same labs use Bioquell. As a result, facilities have taken the lead in applying this innovative technology, seeing decreases of infection rates of up to 60% for C. diff, and 91% for Norovirus.
You do not have to reposition the system and run several cycles or host multiple units whilst only lowering the amount of pathogens in a standard patient room. With Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour, you are not simply decreasing the pathogens, you are eliminating them from every exposed surface every time with a single cycle. Shortcomings of other technologies such as shadows, missed locations and uneven distribution are not experienced with Bioquell’s residue-free process, making this an effective, repeatable solution with the push of a button.
Bioquell is used globally in nearly every area within a healthcare facility. Our safety record is impeccable and we continue to set the bar for process safety and security. An EPA registered sterilant, our process meets or exceeds regulations around the world for decontamination, including the recently introduced Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR). Unlike UV and aHP, we work daily in life science applications requiring the highest level of room decontamination. Chances are the biopharmaceuticals prescribed for your patients or even the flu shots given have been made in an area protected by Bioquell.
A single system can decontaminate every exposed surface of a standard patient room. Other technologies require the repositioning of a unit to be run several times or multiple systems in a small space or potentially both. Bioquell needs only a single cycle and provides an unmatched decontamination scope and efficacy.
Antibiotic resistance has proven that organisms not fully eliminated through a selected treatment can adapt to survive this method in the future. Plus, leaving behind pathogens can lead to rapid re-population. A University of Missouri Extension study shows the importance between elimination and reduction. Germs can reproduce nearly 64 times their original amount in just 90 minutes. Bioquell eliminates a wide range of pathogens effectively from every exposed surface in an enclosed area, including an adjacent bathroom.
After running a Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour cycle, there is nothing left to do except gather the system and move on to the next room. No residue or puddles are left behind for any staff to clean up and the room is left without any harsh odors other systems have been known to create.
Bioquell’s results can be verified and validated at any time with Bioquell’s Biological and Chemical Indicators, (BIs and CIs). CIs offer a real-time indication of expected results from a cycle through the use of a reactive dye. BIs allow you to test a cycle’s results against 1,000,000 living spores per BI, confirming all are killed. This level of decontamination is known as a 6-log reduction and unlike other systems, should be expected everywhere in a room using Bioquell.
