Decontamination: Rotronic H2O2 resistant humidity probes
Mar 09 2017
The Amira company, located in the Province of Brianza, produces devices and machines for use in various sectors, including pharmaceuticals and research centres. The BioReset line of instruments has been developed, patented, and realised in the course of the last few years, and is marketed worldwide. These instruments are for bio-decontamination using hydrogen-peroxide vapour, a technology that allows a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and moulds to be eradicated, even at low temperature, and without negative effects on the treated environment. The reason for this is that the corrosive effect of hydrogen peroxide is minimised in its gaseous state.
To ensure that the vapour does not re-condense, Amira integrate specific sensors in their solutions that allow temperature, humidity, and dewpoint inside the treated rooms to be monitored with extreme precision. These sensors are resistant to the corrosive effects of hydrogen peroxide.
Reliability and precision
"We had no doubts whatsoever about the choice of components to be used in these areas," said Angelo Delmiglio, Founder and CEO of Amira, who has known and valued Rotronic solutions for over 25 years. "Rotronic products are renowned for their reliability. Thorough comparisons have shown that these products, even in specific cases, are optimally suited to provide the necessary precision and repeatability of the processes."
From among the many solutions that Rotronic offers for decontamination with hydrogen peroxide, Amira decided in favour of the HygroClip 2 (HC2) probe. Thanks to their shafts made from corrosion-resistant material (polycarbonate or chrome steel, depending on the model), these probes are especially suitable and, with their extreme precision and short reaction times, ideal for the pharmaceutical industry.
International pharmaceutical companies rely on Amira solutions, and in all applications of this kind, the Amira devices, thanks in part to the high quality of the components used in them, are 100% capable of meeting the customers' expectations.
Rotronic's Solution: Hygromer HH-1
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used to sterilise clean rooms, incubators and other equipment. H2O2 puts heavy stress on the sensors, therefore Rotronic has developed a special sensor, the HYGROMER® HH-1, which can resist the higher stress of the H2O2.
Rotronic's customer AMIRA
The company is highly regarded for the quality of its products, and is active in the global market, where, in addition to its products, it offers comprehensive after-sales service, including verification, calibration, and operator training. The complete BioReset bio-decontamination product line, developed by Amira, is sold all over the world.
