and is designed for aseptic isolation technology.

The ionHP system includes a process of ionization by passing a mist through an ionized plasma field. In the process, an electrostatic charge is imparted on the mist, making it similar to a gas, and causing positively charged particles to be attracted to negatively-charged surfaces. Compared to traditional H2O2 systems that use a base concentration of 30-35% volume, ionHP uses 7.5%. The ionHP system requires a short decontamination process time and does not require temperature regulation, eliminating the need for air conditioning units.
