steam-formaldehyde sterilizer for gas penetration efficiency

SYNOPSIS A test piece is described for monitoring the performance of low-temperature steam-withformaldehyde sterilizers. Comparative tests have shown it to be more difficult to penetrate than an arterial catheter when exposed to the same sterilizing conditions. It is permanent and simple to use and maintain. The growth or non-growth of bacterial spores, in the convenient form of spore strips, i...

Testing a steam-formaldehyde sterilizer for gas penetration efficiency.

A test piece is described for monitoring the performance of low-temperature steam-with-formaldehyde sterilizers. Comparative tests have shown it to be more difficult to penetrate than an arterial catheter when exposed to the same sterilizing conditions. It is permanent and simple to use and maintain. The growth or non-growth of bacterial spores, in the convenient form of spore strips, is used t...

Assessment of performance of UV sterilizer for room air bacteria.

Paper presents a technique for performance of UV sterilizer for room air bacteria. Patterns of decay of room air bacteria concentration during sterilization and build-up there after as a function of time is studied. Decay process seems to follow exponential pattern. Half-lives during decay are estimated. For single sterilizer unit with a dose of 16 W the decay half-life is around 8.6 min. For t...

Immobilized invertase.

Invertase is a commercially important enzyme used for the hydrolysis of sucrose. The hydrolysis of sucrose yields an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose, known as invert syrup, is widely used in food and beverage industries. This enzyme is also used for the manufacture of artificial honey, plasticizing agents used in cosmetics, pharmaceutical and paper industries as well as enzyme electro...
