This study revealed the importance of quality control and maintenance of automated dilution systems for AHP to ensure optimal results

In May of 2013, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) was detected in swine for the first time in North America. It spread rapidly, in part due to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of an accelerated hydrogen peroxide disinfectant for inactivating PEDV in the presence of feces on metal surfaces, such as those found in livestock trailers.

This study evaluated the efficacy of AHP in post milking teat disinfection against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae. Teat skin and teat end health were also examined.

The study was designed to dispel the long-held notion that pH levels were directly related to skin irritancy through a scientific examination of the effects of pH on skin of five formulations.

This purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ph on skin from microbicidal and cosmetic formulation.

Chemical germicides are important in infection control. However, there are mounting concerns on the human and environmental safety of many germicidal products in use today. Whereas it may be difficult to find formulations which are effective while being totally safe, this paper describes the broad- spectrum germicidal activity of Virox, a product based on accelerated and stabilized hydrogen peroxide; it contains ingredients which are considered safe for humans and benign to the environment.

This article summarizes the Health and Safety and Environmental Responsibility benefits of the Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide.

Although such surfaces are routinely disinfected, the testing and label claims of many common disinfectants do not reflect the realities of field use. A study was conducted to determine the influence of several crucial factors on the action of disinfectants in general, and to assess the killing efficiency of selected chemistries related to their drying times and label-specified contact times using a quantitative carrier test.

The study reviews UDM from a statistical perspective, identifying significant gaps in the reproducibility of the test data as predicted by statistical analysis and those presented to the EPA for product registration. UDM’s poor reproducibility, along with its qualitative nature, requires the concentration of the active ingredient to be high enough to ensure all or most carriers to be free of any viable organisms. This is not in accord with the current trends towards sustainability, human safety, and environmental protection.

This study tested a number of leading ATP meters to detect if they would be adversely affected by factors such as soils and cleaner-disinfectant chemistry

Routine detection of PEDv is currently limited to RT-PCR bust this test cannot distinguish between viable and inactivated virus. We evaluated the capability of disinfectants, including AHP to inactivate PEDv and sufficiently damage viral RNA beyond RT-PCR detection.

AHP disinfecting wipes were studied to test their ability to decontaminate surfaces and to transfer acquired contamination to clean surfaces. AHP was the only product that was able to prevent the transfer of bacteria to another surface.

This study determined that antifreeze agents can be added to AHP based disinfectants to ensure the disinfectant remains in liquid form at -20°C, without compromising the efficacy of AHP® against AIV.

In this study AHP was tested for efficacy against two norovirus surrogates, Feline Calicivirus and Murine Norovirus. AHP was found to be effective against FCV but less effective against MNV.

This study looked at various strategies for reprocessing ETs, including using AHP. AHP was found to be an effective approach when sterilization is not feasible.
