Hankkija, a leading agricultural products and services company in Finland, has deployed the automated and continuous Spectral Blue disinfection in their grain and feed laboratory. The laboratory is a qualified facility handling a large number of samples every day from different sources and screening for Salmonella spp. bacteria.
Thanks to Spectral Blue, the laboratory is automatically kept at such a high hygienic level that Hankkija has been able to stop using chemical disinfectants altogether in cleaning. The laboratory has also been able to reduce their weekly cleaning schedule from five times per week to twice per week. The cost savings and improved sustainability of operations show that changing to Spectral Blue brings instant benefits to professional organizations.
Virpi Suominen, laboratory manager at Hankkija, says that they invested in Spectral Blue for its unique capability to automatically prevent expensive contamination incidents. It makes their staff’s work easier when they know they can always trust the analysis results. At the same time, the health and safety of the staff handling pathogens is safeguarded.
The deployment covers the microbiology laboratory rooms and equipment maintenance room, and consists of. dual-mode P100 ceiling panel devices and single-mode L100 devices. The system is fully automated, providing continuous disinfection outside working hours, controlled by timers and motion sensors.
