The use of dado trunking systems in laboratory environments is not a fundamentally new concept but is an area where great care should be taken in selecting the appropriate materials.
Those pathogens and general deleterious bacteria which evolve and which can develop within these various testing environments is ever-changing whilst the progress and advancement of science dictates that ever more harmful and destructive bacteria must be faced.
Bio-decontamination is key to ensuring that these laboratory environments remain safe, clean and reliably functional. There are now a number of chemical agents which have become common place in the cleansing process formany bio-decontamination requirements in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and healthcare sectors. Whether as viricides, bactericides or the like, these may include, but are not limited to; Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV), Formaldehyde gassing and amongst others, more latterly an emergence of the preference for Chlorine Dioxide, disinfecting by its oxidising process.
Formaldehyde for many years has been the accepted process for bio-decontamination of microbiological laboratories, safety cabinets, chambers and rooms but as pathogens increase in complexity and resistance harsher bio-decontamination requirements will often prevail. In all cases, the robustness of our aluminium extrusions and polyester powder coat suitibly withstands and resists these agents.
