A High-Throughput Microtiter Plate Based Method for the Determination of Peracetic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peracetic acid is gaining usage in numerous industries who have found a myriad of uses for its antimicrobial activity. However, rapid high throughput quantitation methods for peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide are lacking. Herein, we describe the development of a high-throughput microtiter plate based assay based upon the well known and trusted titration chemical reactions. The adaptation of these titration chemistries to rapid plate based absorbance methods for the sequential determination of hydrogen peroxide specifically and the total amount of peroxides present in solution are described. The results of these methods were compared to those of a standard titration and found to be in good agreement. Additionally, the utility of the developed method is demonstrated through the generation of degradation curves of both peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide in a mixed solution.

متن کاملEfficacy of peroxygen compounds against glutaraldehyde-resistant mycobacteria.
BACKGROUND To prevent cross-infection of patients, semicritical devices must be high-level disinfected by a product capable of destroying mycobacteria. Glutaraldehyde is commonly used; however, recent studies showed that glutaraldehyde-resistant mycobacteria could survive treatment with this chemical for extended exposure times. Our study tested hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, and a germicid...
متن کاملChemical colitis caused by peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide: a challenging dilemma.
scopes may cause chemical colitis [1–3]. However, it remains controversial whether the agent reponsible is the peracetic acid or the hydrogen peroxide in the solution. We recently encountered four cases of chemical colitis, showing characteristic morphologic and histologic features, including the “snow white sign”, following use of a new automated disinfection device in our endoscopy unit. The ...
