Abstract

Measurements of concentrations of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the presence of water vapor is made using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with fiber optic cables to transmit infrared radiation between, e.g, a sterilization chamber and the NIR
instrument.
Hydrogen peroxide absorbs selectively at about 1420 nm, where water vapor also absorbs, but the absorbance at 1420 nm can be corrected for water vapor measurements at remote wavelengths where H202 is transparent. The measurement process also may be incorporated into a control system assuring optimum hydrogen peroxide vapor concentrations for the sterilization procedure.

Claims (2)

1. A method of determining the concentration of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the presence of water vapor in an unknown sample containing both hydrogen peroxide and water vapors comprising:

a) measuring the near infrared spectrum of a series of calibration samples containing known concentrations of hydrogen peroxide vapor, water vapor, and combinations thereof over at least one band within the region from about 900 to about 2000 nanometers, said band including 1420 nm;
b) analyzing the measured spectra and the known concentrations in the calibration set to produce a correlation between the measured near infrared spectrum and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide;

c) measuring the near infrared absorbance spectrum of said unknown sample over the said band within the region from about 900 to about 2000 nanometers; and d) applying the correlation of step b) to the near infrared spectrum of the unknown sample to determine the concentration of hydrogen peroxide vapor therein.
2. A method of sterilization of an inanimate object containing microorganisms comprising:

a) placing the object in a sterilization chamber;

b) injecting a sterilization agent comprising hydrogen peroxide into the sterilization chamber in an amount sufficient to produce a concentration of hydrogen peroxide and water vapors in the headspace of the chamber;

c) measuring the concentration of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the headspace using the method of Claims 1; and d) comparing the measured amount from step c) with the target amount necessary for complete destruction of all microorganisms in the object; and e) repeating steps b), c) and d) if the comparison of step d) is less than the target amount.
