SKAN optaria is an active hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor, designed specifically for pharmaceutical isolators. The sensor uses optical laser-spectroscopy to measure the entire relevant H2O2 concentration range for processes in isolator working chambers. This range comprises high to extremely low concentrations (1500 – 0.050 ppm). The data is provided in real time and is used to ensure operator as well as process safety.
What can you use optaria for?
optaria can be used in any SKAN isolator, for research and development as well as for production. The sensor is available as mobile, standalone version or integrated into the isolator.
- You can use optaria to monitor and develop your decontamination cycle: e. g. for qualification/validation, for R & D and process improvement.
- You can monitor low residual concentrations of H₂O₂ during aseptic processing of sensitive products.
Why optaria?
- You can now cover the entire H₂O₂ range using only one sensor.
- Precise, stable, real-time data increases process transparency.
- Supports your contamination control strategy (CCS) according to Annex 1.
- optaria has an integrated purging/zeroing channel for simple and automated operation.
- The sensor allows for an easy and compact integration.

Clean addresses the question “How clean does the production line need to be to prevent any risks that could potentially arise from contamination?”.
“It is commonly understood that risk is defined as the combination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity of that harm.”
and further on “The ability to detect the harm (detectability) also factors in the estimation of risk.”
SKAN offers the clean service portfolio to strongly support our customers in developing effective cleaning strategies and ultimately to prevent harm to the patient.

In the life science industry, the importance of choosing materials that can stand up to repeated exposure to harsh chemicals is becoming more and more important.
Do you need to check whether your products and product packaging are resistant to different chemical agents?
Do you want to know how your products, product packaging, or the materials chosen to manufacture them will perform when subjected to different factors during production that could affect their final properties?
We check whether your materials are resistant to the chemicals, liquids and gases that will affect them later in the production process and entire product life cycle.
