To meet the challenges of sterility testing,
a revolutionary new fully integrated hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) workstation
called the Bioquell QUBE has been launched at this year's Achema event in
Frankfurt.
Using the
latest manufacturing techniques and materials, the Bioquell QUBE offers a rapid
sporicidal bio-decontamination process with a high-level validated 6-log
reduction in bioburden. This in-built bio-decontamination system has been
designed to complement a fully fitted and validated sterility test unit such as
the market leading Millipore Steritest system.
Developed as a modular, barrier separation system, the Bioquell QUBE provides a
physical separation of operators to the sterility test process. The closed
barrier technology enables the user to apply the automated HPV biological
decontamination. Within a single module, a rapid 20 minute bio-decontamination
cycle allows fast and efficient transfers. An EU GMP Grade A / ISO 5 compliant
environment is ensured by both uni-directional airflow and unique isolator
technology.
The
intelligent modular design gives users flexibility in selecting the most
suitable configuration for their individual processes. If space is limited, a
single module can be installed whilst, where there is a need for high volume
throughput, a three chamber workstation can be implemented.
Commenting
on the launch, Dr Tim Flanagan, Head of Life Sciences at Bioquell said, "Modern
technology has to meet the challenges of modern processing and our new Bioquell
QUBE has been designed to do just that. It enables you to expand with your
process by simply adding modules whilst its rapid bio-decontamination cycle
gives fast batch turnaround. And all of this is backed by Bioquell's unmatched
experience in bio-decontamination technology, developed over the last 200
years."
Sterility testing is required during the
sterilisation validation processes as well as for routine
control and detecting major contamination in a batch of sterile product. The
Bioquell QUBE will help to ensure that the aseptic test environment is
stringently controlled to eliminate false positive results.
