Enzyme Indicators contain an enzyme that has a high tolerance to high temperatures and oxidising agents, and after a gassing cycle has been conducted, the rate at which the enzyme has denatured is measured, thus proving a measure of the Kill Rate, and therefore the cleanliness of the Aseptic Suite.
Enzyme Indicators will be used as part of a new gassing method for cleaning the Aseptic Medicines Manufacturing suite at the CIVAS@IP5 facility. Enzyme Indicators are required to verify that the gassing cycle, using ionised Hydrogen Peroxide, has been successful in killing microorganisms.
In addition, Enzyme Indicators provide a result within minutes, resulting in far less downtime for the Aseptic Suite. Furthermore, Enzyme Indicators provide a rate of denaturing on a logarithmic scale, allowing for Quality Assurance levels to be set for each grade of Clean Room.
