The Decontamination and Removal of Mould and Yeast Contamination in a Laboratory Setting 

Mould in housing

Mould and yeast contamination can quickly spread in laboratory environments, damaging equipment, compromising samples, and disrupting research.

A Sanondaf case study showed that hydrogen peroxide based, touchless decontamination provides an effective way to control and remove these contaminants, even in challenging spaces such as cold rooms and storage areas. 

The treatment successfully eliminated visible mould and yeast and helped prevent re-growth by reaching surfaces and hidden areas that routine cleaning alone cannot address.

The study highlights the importance of whole-room decontamination as part of routine maintenance or reactive cleaning, providing laboratories with a practical way to protect people, equipment, and valuable research.
