  • Addressing practical challenges of carrier gas saturation and aerosol droplet elimination.

Main Results:

  • The method provides accurate calibration across a wide range of practically relevant H2O2 vapour pressures.
  • Quantitative volumetric analysis reliably validated the calibration technique.
  • The method is suitable for the demands of isolator sterilization environments.

Conclusions:

  • The described calibration method offers a reliable and validated approach for hydrogen peroxide vapour sensors.
  • This technique addresses key practical challenges, enhancing the accuracy and applicability of sensor calibration.
  • The method supports critical sterilization processes requiring precise H2O2 vapour monitoring.
