Research, guidance and case studies on preventative disinfection
Independent testing, university research and real-world case studies behind the machines we lease. These articles are published by Sanondaf UK and reproduced here with permission by the Shropshire & West Midlands office. They are the evidence base most risk assessments and preventative treatment policies end up asking for.

Laboratories
Laboratory decontamination during shutdown and maintenance
Protect your research, minimise downtime and return to work with confidence. Summer maintenance windows are the ideal time to run a whole-volume preventative treatment across a laboratory suite — and with a leased machine on site, your own trained staff can do it during the shutdown you have already planned.

Guide to decontamination of safety cabinets: request an end user biosafety seminar
The Sanondaf seminar is designed to educate users and encourage a better overall understanding of biosafety cabinet decontamination, what the standards ask for, and how a validated gassing cycle should be evidenced.

Hydrogen peroxide and its environmental impact
Hydrogen peroxide is widely recognised as a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional fumigation gases. It breaks down to water and oxygen, leaves no residue and produces no waste stream to dispose of.

A review of a novel decontamination method for use in a contained vessel within a biotechnology facility
A Sanondaf case study demonstrated that vapourised hydrogen peroxide can be used to fully decontaminate a contained vessel within a biotechnology facility, without dismantling the equipment involved.

A review of testing conducted on an air powered fogging device
Independent testing showed that an air-powered fogging device can rapidly and effectively deliver hydrogen peroxide throughout a room volume — the basis of the short cycle times that make preventative treatment practical.

Sanosil S010 disinfectant and Halo fogger sporicidal efficacy test
Independent testing showed that Sanosil S010, delivered by fogger, achieves sporicidal efficacy — important where spore-forming organisms such as C. difficile are the concern.

Where we can lease
Leasing reaches further than Shropshire and the West Midlands
This is the Shropshire & West Midlands office, but Sanondaf is a network. If your group has sites elsewhere, a machine can very often be leased there too, with the same training, calibration and preventative treatment programme — so one policy covers every site rather than one region.
