Professional Decontamination Services for Research Facilities

When research facilities face contamination events, QuipDecon delivers validated decontamination backed by 40 years of exclusive research facility expertise. We offer flexible service options designed to work within your budget and regulatory requirements—from rapid emergency response to comprehensive facility validation.

 

Our Professional Approach to Decontamination

1. Thorough Surface Preparation

Effective decontamination starts with comprehensive surface preparation. Our team performs deep cleaning through a 3-step cleaning process with attention to detail on  crevices and areas where pathogens hide, removing organic soils that compromise disinfectant effectiveness. This critical stage maximizes treatment outcomes and ensures pathogens have nowhere to hide.

2. ATP Validation and Monitoring

We use AccuPoint Advanced ATP monitoring to establish baseline contamination levels, verify effective soil removal, and confirm successful pathogen elimination. This step is absolutely critical to ensuring that any biocidal measures taken are as effective as possible.

3. Proper Application of Chemistries

What sets us apart from many decontamination teams are the proprietary disinfection methods we use. We select optimal disinfection methods based on your facility’s specific requirements, pathogen type, BSL classification, equipment sensitivity, and animal welfare considerations. Whether dry mist hydrogen peroxide using the whole room, Halo Disinfection System, chlorine dioxide generated with our MB-10 Tablets, or other validated approaches, we ensure proper application protocols and verified contact times for effective pathogen elimination.

4. Documentation and Regulatory Support

Comprehensive documentation suitable for regulatory review, AAALAC inspections, or business development due diligence. We generate detailed reports documenting baseline conditions, treatment protocols, and validation results.

5. SOP Development and Staff Training

For facilities requiring ongoing biosecurity management, we can develop facility-specific SOPs and provide staff training on decontamination protocols, ensuring your team maintains effective practices long-term.

Research Facility Expertise

+
With 40 years serving vivarium, BSL-3/ABSL-3, and laboratory animal care environments, we understand the unique decontamination challenges research facilities face. This specialized experience means we approach every project with knowledge of the protocols, validation requirements, and operational constraints specific to the life sciences, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

Budget Flexibility

+
Multiple service tiers designed to work within your constraints. We recognize that not every situation requires the same level of intervention. Whether you need emergency fog-only services, full service turnkey decontamination with validation, or something in between, we can structure a service approach that addresses your facility's needs while respecting your budgetary realities.

Comprehensive Validation Capability

+
Objective verification of decontamination effectiveness at every stage of the process. We validate between decontamination stages, utilizing different validation methods based on your facility's specific needs and risk profile. Depending on your situation, this might include ATP testing to confirm cleaning removed organic residues before disinfection begins, chemical indicators to verify that disinfectant fog reached all target surfaces, microbial contact plates to assess contamination levels, or biological indicators to confirm sterilization in high-risk scenarios.

Professional Service

+
We do not outsource our decontamination teams, and ensure proper transparency every step of the way. This means the people who perform your decontamination work directly for QuipDecon, understand our protocols, and are accountable to our quality standards. You'll know exactly what was done, how it was validated, and what the results showed—no black box, no ambiguity about who's responsible.

Regulatory Documentation

+
Complete reporting suitable for AAALAC, IACUC, and institutional oversight. When your accreditation review comes around or you need to document your response to a biosafety incident, you'll have detailed records showing what decontamination was performed, how effectiveness was verified, and that protocols met regulatory expectations.

Emergency Response

+
Rapid deployment for outbreak situations. When you're facing an active contamination event, timeline matters. We mobilize quickly when you need immediate intervention, helping you contain the situation and get back to normal operations as efficiently as possible.

SOP Generation

+
Facility-specific protocols and procedures when needed. If your situation calls for updated procedures, we can develop SOPs tailored to your facility's specific requirements and equipment.

Staff Training

+
Knowledge transfer for long-term biosecurity capability. Beyond just performing decontamination services, we can help build your team's understanding of proper decontamination principles, validation approaches, and decision-making frameworks. This investment in your staff's capabilities pays dividends in improved day-to-day biosecurity practices.
