Webinar: Introduction to Monitoring Chemical Sterilants
COVID-19 has caused many of our customers to focus more on proper decontamination, disinfection, and sterilization methods. And while chemical vapor sterilization is advantageous because it does not rust, dull, or corrode dry metal instruments, it also introduces the potential for leaks and workplace exposure issues.
So, what's the best way to effectively monitor chemical sterilants to ensure they're working without endangering your employees?
ChemDAQ's Richard Warburton, Ph.D, walks our customers through a case for monitoring low temperature and liquid chemical sterilants, and how real-time measurement of chemical vapors can help you address exposure concerns.
This 60-minute session:
- Discusses the long-term exposure risks associated with chemicals used for sterilization
- Recognizes the importance of measuring low temperature and liquid chemical sterilants
- Explains the challenges related to low temperature sterilization processes and equipment
- Identifies the regulations and legal requirements for chemical sterilant use
- Introduce portable monitors that address exposure concerns and prevent future problems
- Ask the expert: Your questions answered
