The Biosafety Officer at Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) has the need to purchase a vaporized hydrogen peroxide decontamination unit to be utilized in laboratory and animal room/building decontaminations. These decontaminations are necessary for research integrity and personnel safety after and between when experiments are conducted. The required specifications for the vaporized hydrogen peroxide decontamination machine are that it is portable and able to be operated remotely, and have the ability to be physically moved within the room which is being decontaminated. The machine should also utilize a Programmable Logic Controller for the ability to create, modify and save decontamination cycle parameters. The vaporized hydrogen peroxide machine must be able to decontaminate small spaces as well as larger spaces that approach 20,000 cubic feet utilizing one machine. The machine must be able to measure temperature, relative humidity and hydrogen peroxide concentrations, as well as logging these parameters during the decontamination cycle. This ensures the process is as efficient as possible and reduces condensation which negatively affects the efficacy of the vaporized hydrogen peroxide decontamination process. An aeration function that is included or integrated within this decontamination unit is critical in reducing decontamination cycle downtime to expedite the decontamination process to facilitate research.
