Peroxigard®

Surface cleaner and disinfectant

Peroxigard is an accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP).  AHP® is a patented synergistic blend of hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations combined with surfactants, wetting agents, and chelating agents. This synergy dramatically increases hydrogen peroxide’s germicidal efficacy and cleaning performance.

All ingredients in AHP are listed on the EPA inert lists and the FDA Generally Regarded as Safe List (GRAS). The benefits of AHP have been evaluated and supported by over 55 peer reviewed studies. Peroxigard has become the leading cleaner/disinfectant in the lab animal sciences space. It is compatible with most surfaces and is faster than other disinfectants on the market
