1. Benefits of using hydrogen peroxide for disinfection services
Hydrogen peroxide is light blue in color, but becomes transparent and colorless when diluted with water. It is a weakly acidic substance, chemically expressed as having a pH slightly lower than 7. Additionally, it is a strong oxidizing agent that can easily change the chemical composition of any substance, which is why it is used to bleach paper.
Because hydrogen peroxide contains oxygen and is easy to react, it is classified as "active oxygen" and is a molecule that is not subject to oxidation. Additionally, due to its natural activity, hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a disinfectant.
2. How to disinfect with hydrogen peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide disinfects well because it is an excellent antibacterial agent. This means it kills bacteria quickly. After encountering hydrogen peroxide bacteria, it will quickly oxidize the components surrounding the bacteria. Not only is this harmful to them, but it also attacks the membranes that protect and contain themselves.
This can lead to rapid death of bacteria. Additionally, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the use of hydrogen peroxide as a sterilization method.
3. Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantage of using hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant is that it is cheap, safe, and easily available. But like any oxidant, it can cause damage to wound tissue. This method is sometimes beneficial because it helps close capillaries and other blood vessels, thereby slowing blood flow. In addition, hydrogen peroxide can cause latency, and some people don't like the taste. Another side effect of using hydrogen peroxide is that it reacts with other substances to form gas, forming bubbles.
Four. Hydrogen peroxide disinfection robot
There are currently many hydrogen peroxide terminal disinfection products. You can see the progress of Fantong Biotech’s new research and development on many websites and related reports. Reports on the use of the hydrogen oxide disinfection robot KINO believe that its quality should be relatively reliable. Many medical institutions have also verified its terminal disinfection effect many times. It is recommended that everyone choose to use it.
The vaporized hydrogen peroxide robot KINO can eliminate superbugs in isolation patient bed units. The original disinfectant solution uses food-grade hydrogen peroxide. It produces vaporized hydrogen peroxide through secondary distillation. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen. It is a green disinfectant with no secondary residue on food and personnel. In the experiment, Staphylococcus aureus was used as an indicator bacterium in accordance with the disinfection technical specifications to evaluate the disinfection effect. A challenge experiment was also conducted using log3 Bacillus nigricans as a biological indicator, which was placed on 5 beds of the isolation patient bed unit. Each corner double-checks its disinfection effect. Based on the characteristics of the isolation patient bed unit, special equipment and disinfection processes for the isolation patient bed unit were developed.
Kinomin uses built-in WIFI and IoT technology, which can be controlled by computer or remotely. One person can control the operation of multiple devices, monitor the operation of the equipment, complete remote troubleshooting and software upgrades, and record Disinfection parameters can be printed into reports, and the disinfection time and concentration of each ward can be clearly seen. After the disinfection is completed, the refrigeration cycle system is turned on. After 30 minutes, the concentration probe shows that the hydrogen perchloride concentration is as low as 1PPM, which meets occupational health and safety requirements.
After the disinfection is completed, the bacterial pieces and spores are taken out and sent to the laboratory for further culture and counting. According to the technical specifications for disinfection, wash and shake the accumulated spores on the bacterial slices, then inoculate them in the culture medium for 48 hours, and observe the results after culturing at 36 degrees Celsius. The disinfection results meet the requirements of the technical specifications for disinfection.
The situation of COVID-19 prevention and control is still severe. We need to continue to innovate in disinfection methods and equipment to deal with the constantly mutating virus, so as to ensure a stable supply of cold chain food and make people feel safe and secure.
