Picarro Launches PI2124 Hydrogen Peroxide Analyser to Improve VHP Monitoring in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. 

Picarro Inc., a global leader in high-precision gas concentration analytical solutions, announced the launch of the PI2124 Analyser, an advanced solution for monitoring vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP) in pharmaceutical and other regulated manufacturing environments. 

The new analyser continuously measures VHP at levels as low as 3 ppb and features software enhancements that improve data integrity, audit readiness, and operational efficiency, strengthening compliance support and day-to-day workflows. 

According to Towards Healthcare, the Vaporised hydrogen peroxide sterilisers market is projected to experience significant growth, with estimates suggesting the market size will increase from USD 1.58 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 3.4 billion by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2026 to 2035. Growth is driven by the increasing incidence of healthcare-associated infection and the rising demand for low-temperature sterilisation, reflecting the industry’s commitment to maintain high standards of sterility and infection prevention.  

The PI2124 Analyzer provides continuous, real-time measurement of VHP, delivering actionable insight. 

Aeration Cycle Monitoring 

Operators use real-time concentration data to dynamically determine the aeration endpoint, helping minimise unnecessary downtime while maintaining product integrity. It can be used to verify clearance to site-defined ppb-level targets before production begins. 

Production Campaign Monitoring 

Monitoring during production campaigns to detect unexpected VHP sources. Measurement data provides documented evidence that VHP concentrations remain within safe and acceptable limits throughout production and supports investigation if excursions occur. 

Process Development and Optimisation 

VHP concentration data can support the development and optimisation of aeration cycles for sensitive products, materials, and isolator configurations. Comparing concentration profiles across cycles and campaigns helps evaluate process consistency and enables data-driven improvements to sterilisation processes. 

Vice President of Analytical Instruments at Picarro, Milos Markovic, said Accurate measurement is only part of the equation in regulated manufacturing environments.
