In the biopharmaceutical world, VHP is a trusted ally used in hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"outline: 0px; font-size: 31.5px; line-height: 40px; font-family: MuseoSans-700, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 8px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; color: #414141;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\"><b>Why Pharma Cleanrooms Rely on VHP<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">Cleanrooms engaged in the production of drugs, biological products, and medical devices adhere to rigorous sterilization protocols. Surface disinfection, with hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant, is a cornerstone of these procedures. The quality and thoroughness of surface disinfection, including its in-situ execution, directly impact product safety, quality, and human health.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">Some pharmaceutical manufacturing processes operate round-the-clock to meet the demand for critical healthcare products, minimizing offline shutdowns. Consequently, most sterilization processes occur while the cleanroom remains operational. This makes it paramount to select equipment capable of withstanding VHP exposure.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"outline: 0px; font-size: 31.5px; line-height: 40px; font-family: MuseoSans-700, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 8px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; color: #414141;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\"><b>Potential Impacts on Particle Counters<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">VHP is generated through the vaporization of liquid hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a mixture of VHP and water vapor. This &#8220;dry&#8221; process maintains VHP concentrations below the condensation point, a critical parameter influenced by room temperature. For room decontamination, VHP concentrations typically remain below saturation, ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 mg\/L at 25\u00b0C. However, for medical device sterilization, higher VHP concentrations may be utilized at elevated process temperatures, often reaching 60\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">When VHP concentrations surpass the saturation point at a given temperature, hydrogen peroxide preferentially condenses out, forming concentrated peroxide on surfaces. While this condensed peroxide maintains antimicrobial properties, it may introduce variability into the sterilization process and potentially damage surfaces\u2014a concern that extends to all equipment within a cleanroom, including particle counters.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd65a85 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fd65a85\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71bf6c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"71bf6c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Apex-Family-of-Instruments.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15682\" alt=\"Apex Family of Instruments\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Apex-Family-of-Instruments.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Apex-Family-of-Instruments-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Apex-Family-of-Instruments-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ac5e2f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ac5e2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e19c44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e19c44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"outline: 0px; font-size: 31.5px; line-height: 40px; font-family: MuseoSans-700, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 8px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; color: #414141;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\"><b>Lighthouse Apex Particle Counters and VHP Compatibility<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"outline: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; color: #414141; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"outline: 0px;\">Two decades ago, the compatibility of particle counters with VHP would have been a resounding &#8220;no.&#8221; However, Lighthouse has evolved its particle counter technology to withstand the effects of VHP.\u00a0<a style=\"outline: 0px; color: #d17760; cursor: pointer; user-select: auto; overflow-wrap: break-word;\" title=\"https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/airborne-particle-counters\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.golighthouse.com\/en\/airborne-particle-counters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Apex series<\/a>\u00a0of particle counters from Lighthouse are meticulously designed to prevent VHP from infiltrating the unit.
