Recent Innovations in Vivarium Cleaning

5 Benefits of Using Peroxigard:

  1. Significantly faster dwell time than other disinfectants

  2. Will not quat bind

  3. Will not increase residue and/or biofilm

  4. Boasts an increased safety profile

  5. Has a 90-day discard schedule after dilution (many quat solutions must be discarded after one day)

Sustainable Disposable Products

The push for sustainability has led to the development of eco-friendly cleaning solutions. These biodegradable and non-toxic agents are designed to be just as effective as their chemical counterparts but without the environmental impact. Using green cleaning solutions helps vivariums reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining high standards of hygiene. While disposable cleaning products like Premira® Portables™ offer significant advantages in preventing cross-contamination, the future may see these products becoming even more sustainable. Third-party studies have revealed that the Premira® line of premium disposable microfiber products have decreased impact on the environment compared to relaundered microfiber products.

 

Embracing these innovations not only improves the cleanliness and efficiency of vivariums but also supports the overall goals of scientific research and environmental responsibility. Stay ahead of the curve by integrating the latest cleaning technologies and practices into your vivarium, and ensure a brighter, cleaner, and more sustainable future for your research endeavors.
