Compact ozone steriliser eliminates contaminants

Ozilla is able to eliminate completely airborne as well as surface contaminants and germs including bacteria, phage, and fungus

UK-based AMSBIO has launched a purpose-built compact ozone gas generator. The Ozilla measures 32 x 28 x 13cm and will fit in most standard laboratory cell culture incubators, air incubators, cell culture hoods, PCR hoods, or other environment where a sterile atmosphere is critical.

Following simple operational instructions the Ozilla is able to eliminate completely airborne as well as surface contaminants and germs including bacteria, phage, and fungus. It can be used to sterilise and deodorise lightly contaminated pipettes, pipette tips, gloves, plates, small instruments, and even personal items such as keys and glasses.

Ozone is the most powerful oxidative agent that occurs naturally and is able to destroy germs, viruses and microbes. Furthermore, ozone leaves no chemical residue typical of alternative detergent or synthetic cleaners.

The Ozilla steriliser has a novel 'scrubbing' technology that removes all ozone gases at the end of each sterilisation cycle by converting ozone gas back to oxygen.
