A glutaraldehyde sterilizing and disinfecting solution which is hard water compatible and which contains a nitrilo tris (ethyl phosphoric acid) salt as a buffering agent.

Buffered glutaraldehyde sterilizing and disinfecting compositions

A sterilization process wherein articles contacted with hydrogen peroxide and containing trace amounts of residual hydrogen peroxide are subjected to plasma treatment to generate an active species from the residual hydrogen peroxide which effects sterilization of the article and concurrently removes the residual hydrogen peroxide by converting it into non-toxic decomposition products.

Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization system

A plasma sterilization process which employs hydrogen peroxide vapor as the precursor for the active species generated during the plasma generation cycle and employs a pre-treatment cycle prior to the plasma generation cycle.

An improved disinfecting and sterilizing composition having low odor and irritation potential is disclosed. The composition is an aqueous solution containing a 2 to 6 carbon atom dialdehyde and may also contain formaldehyde and a diol or monosubstituted diol of the formula RO(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH; where R is H or CH.sub.3 and n is an integer from 1 to about 22. Such compositions may be employed at a wide range of pH, from pH2 to pH9.
