Biocrucible, a biotechnology company, was in the early stages of merging their R&D operations with their production site to allow greater collaboration between their engineering and manufacturing teams, with a focus on streamlining processes. Since the production site was a clean environment, it was essential to clean and decontaminate the R&D labs before they could re-open.
After an initial consultation, Inivos swiftly provided deep cleaning and hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) decontamination services using the ProXcide® System. The engineering lab and a side room were treated, ensuring thorough decontamination. Post-treatment swabs taken by Biocrucible came back negative for bacteria, confirming the effectiveness of the process.
Sam Hicks, Operations Manager at Biocrucible commented “We were really pleased with the results and level of service received from Inivos, particularly the customer care and attention from the team. The communication was seamless, and I never felt like it was just a sales pitch. It was clear that the team truly cared about the work they were doing.”
‘It happened very quickly, so I appreciate the speed in which Kermashnie and the team responded. The technicians were incredible, they worked so hard and so quickly, I’ve never seen the equipment so clean before! You’ve got fantastic technology, it’s exactly what we need.”
Sam also highlighted initial concerns about merging the two sites, particularly the potential risk of contamination “we’re hoping to use the service that Inivos provides as a way of reassuring our scientists that if something was to happen, we have appropriate processes in place that can control it.”
