Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer
Laboratory sterilization system
The Ozilla™ is a high quality, compact and purpose-built ozone gas generator that is able to eliminate airborne and surface contaminants.
With its extra free radical oxygen molecule, ozone- a powerful and natural purifier is able to destroy germs, viruses, and microbes that may cause surface or air contamination. Furthermore, ozone leaves no chemical residue typical of alternative detergent or synthetic cleaners, and if handled properly – by converting ozone back to oxygen molecules – it can be one of the most effective sterilizing tools.
Features
- Portable and compact (Dimensions: 13 x 11 x 5 inches)
- Easy and safe to use
- Unique ‘Scrub Cycle’- converts ozone back to oxygen
Benefits
- Eliminates exposure to toxic chemicals
- Leaves rooms and cabinets odor-free and clean, ready for the next usage
- Highly cost effective
How to use Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer
After removing excessive contamination and liquids from surfaces, program the ozone and scrub cycle times desired, place the Ozilla™ device in the cabinet or area you want to clean, and press the "Run" button. You can now use this downtime to perform other important tasks while the Ozilla™ device does its work. Best of all, the Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer is the only device of its kind that comes with a de-ozonation technology, or "Scrub Cycle", which rapidly converts ozone gas back to oxygen.
Where can the Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer be used?
The Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer is extremely versatile and will fit in most standard laboratory cabinets such as cell culture incubators, air incubators, cell culture hoods and rooms, PCR hoods, or any other cabinets or rooms where a sterile environment is critical. The only requirement is to make sure that the area or cabinet to be sterilized are properly sealed so ozone gas is able to build up for effective sterilization, and also to prevent ozone gas from leaking out into the environment before the scrubbing cycle has run its full course.
Applications
What contaminants can ozone gas remove?
Ozone gas is an effective killing agent against many contaminants and germs such as bacteria, phage, and fungus. Below is a partial list of all of the different organisms that ozone gas has been proven to kill.

| Propionibacterium acnes | |
| S. pyogenes | |
| Acinobacter baumannii | |
| Enterococus faecalis | |
| E. coli | |
| Haemmophilus influenza | |
| Klebesiella pneumonia | |

When used properly, the Ozilla™ Ozone Sterilizer features a unique Scrub Cycle which converts ozone back to oxygen after the completion of a sterilization cycle. The Ozilla™ sterilizer is designed for use in sealed cabinets or rooms, and is not to be used in open spaces where people and animals are present because ozone gas can be harmful to humans and animals when allowed to rise to high concentrations. Ozone toxicity is dependent on concentration and length of exposure. The following table summarizes the acceptable limits cited by OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration):
| Ozone Level(s) | Maximum Exposure Time Considered Acceptable |
|---|---|
| Up to 0.2 mg/m3 | Current OSHA standard for ozone is 0.1 ppm averaged over an eight-hour work shift (equivalent to 0.2 mg/m3) |
| 0.2 ppm | No more than 2 hours exposure |
| 0.1 ppm | 8 hours per day exposure doing light work |
| 0.08 ppm | 8 hours per day exposure doing moderate work |
| 0.05 ppm | 8 hours per day exposure doing heavy work |
Ozone gas has a distinctive chlorine-like odor and is detectable to most users at about 0.02-0.04 mg/m3 (or 0.01-0.02 ppm), well below what are considered potentially harmful exposure levels. Users should use the suggested Maximum Exposure Times for general guidance. If users experience symptoms of acute ozone exposure, such as irritated eyes or breathing difficulties or irritations, users should immediately turn the sterilization cycle off (by pressing [RUN] button), then run a scrub cycle as indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Alternatively, users can turn the Ozilla device off and airing the affected area until the odor of ozone is no longer detectable. Affected individuals should be treated as necessary.
