Compact Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator for Laboratory Sterilization
Puroxia is a portable, compact Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor generator designed for the reliable sterilization and decontamination of biological equipment. Its advanced sensing and control systems ensure precise sterilization while minimizing reagent use and operating costs, making it ideal for research labs, cell culture facilities, and automated workcells.
Precise, Efficient Sterilization
Puroxia combines real-time sensing with active feedback control to deliver reproducible sterilization cycles:
- Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Sensing: Monitors VHP concentration throughout the cycle, maintaining precise PPM levels. Ensures safe residual levels after aeration.
- Humidity Control: Continuous dehumidification and real-time humidity sensing improve sterilization efficiency.
- Low Reagent Use: Only ~70 mL of 35% H₂O₂ is needed per typical cycle.
- Low Operating Costs: Uses standard hydrogen peroxide solution and a refillable desiccant cartridge, avoiding proprietary consumables.
Easy to Use
Puroxia is designed for simplicity and modern laboratory workflows:
- Multi-touch control screen with intuitive interface
- Linux OS running on a system-on-a-chip mini computer
- Remote software updates over network
- Ethernet connectivity for future system integration and automation
Users can configure sterilization and dosing parameters based on laboratory needs. Current cycle setup is through a simple Python-based configuration file, with a graphical input method planned in upcoming software updates.
Compact, Portable, and Integration-Friendly
Puroxia is small and light enough to be easily moved or deployed in multiple locations within a laboratory.
Its compact footprint makes puroxia ideal for integration into automated decontamination workflows, including robotic workcells, cleanroom benches, and biological equipment sterilization stations.
Advanced Control and Safety Features
Puroxia provides precise control and robust safety:
- Active feedback control of hydrogen peroxide concentration ensures consistent sterilization cycles
- Real-time monitoring of vapor and humidity to maintain reproducible conditions
- Safe residual levels after aeration to protect staff and samples
- Configurable sterilization parameters for flexible deployment
These features make puroxia a reliable and cost-efficient alternative to larger, fixed-site Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor generators.
