Safeguard Your Facility With Peroxigard™

Safeguarding your research and saving lives starts with ensuring your facility is clean and disinfected.  The threat of contamination is ever-present, and gaps in infection control protocols put your staff, animals and research at risk. Peroxigard is a one-step disinfectant cleaner, powered by Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide, and is specifically designed for use in life science facilities.

At W.F. Fisher, We’re Proud to Recommend Peroxigard!

What makes Peroxigard our choice?  It's far superior to legacy disinfectants, such as chlorine oxides, that are toxic to people and animals, corrosive, and require multiple steps. By contrast, Peroxigard is a one-step disinfectant cleaner powered by Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide. AHP is a patented synergistic blend of surfactants, wetting agents, chelating agents, and low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. This synergy dramatically increases hydrogen peroxide’s germicidal efficacy, stability and cleaning performance. It’s also safe for animals, people and the planet. 


Peroxigard is formulated to meet the high standards for infection control and biosecurity in vivaria and life science facilities. It kills a broad spectrum of pathogens. Plus, it’s simple to use. Peroxigard cleans and disinfects in as little as one minute of contact time.

W.F. Fisher is proud to partner with Contec to offer Peroxigard and related products, such as applicators. Get the details!

Guard Your Research With Peroxigard

Peroxigard Ready to Use eliminates variables in your cleaning and disinfection protocols, driving efficiency by removing the risks associated with dilution, activation and deactivation.

Peroxigard Wipes offer a simple way to clean and disinfect while dispensing a consistent and repeatable amount of disinfectant, minimizing variability and maximizing performance. By employing a disposable wipe protocol, you can be confident that unwanted pathogens are not transferred across or between animal rooms.

Peroxigard Concentrate, once diluted,  remains effective for up to 90 days, providing confidence while reducing waste. It’s designed for use in life science research facilities, vivaria, laboratories, and other animal housing facilities. Peroxigard cleans, disinfects and deodorizes in one step and is formulated to be gentle on hard, non-porous surfaces while achieving broad-spectrum disinfection.

  • Is Peroxigard effective against parasites? (Giardia, Cryptospordium, etc.)

    Due to EPA and FDA regulations, disinfectants cannot claim to be effective against parasites. As a result of the restrictions, Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide products do not carry a claim to inactivate parasites. However, the Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide surfactant package and superior cleaning abilities can help remove parasite eggs from surfaces and sequentially reduce the chance of transmission.

  • Is Peroxigard effective against Corynebacterium bovis (C. bovis)?

    Peroxigard Wipes and Ready to Use (RTU) carry an EPA-approved label claim for use against C. bovis. As such, Peroxigard Wipes and RTU can be used to disinfect against C. bovis, allowing a 2-minute contact time after application.

  • Is Peroxigard effective against C. Diff?

    No, but please contact us for other disinfection options.

  • What is the difference between Peroxigard Ready to Use and Concentrate?

    The Ready-to-Use product is a different formula than the Concentrate solution. Therefore, the Concentrate solution cannot simply be diluted to achieve the same contact times, efficacy claims, etc. as the Ready-to-Use. Overall, the solutions should be treated as different products with differing use instructions. For example, the Ready-to-Use solution has a 1-minute contact time for disinfection claims, while the Peroxigard Concentrate solution has a contact time as low as 5 minutes, depending on the dilution.

  • Will there be an adverse reaction if other disinfectant products are used on surfaces previously cleaned with Peroxigard?

    No. The only active ingredient in Peroxigard disinfectant products is low levels of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide readily breaks down into oxygen and water once dry, and no active residues will remain. Furthermore, on a dry surface, there will be no adverse reactions if a second disinfectant were to be applied. Overall, the best practice is to utilize one chemistry in the facility for disinfection requirements to ensure compliance.

  • Will Peroxigard damage my exam tables, floors or other surfaces?

    No, not when used correctly. When damage occurs, it is typically because the Concentrate wasn’t diluted properly. The only active ingredient in Peroxigard disinfectant products is low levels of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide readily breaks down into oxygen and water once dry, and no active residues will remain. 

  • Is it hard to switch from my current disinfectant to Peroxigard?

    No. We make it easy! Click here to read about the thorough and well-managed process for switching from your current disinfectant to Peroxigard.

  • Is wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary when using Peroxigard?

    Yes and no! (Don’t you love an answer like that?) Gloves are required when handling the undiluted Concentrate. However, PPE is not required when handling diluted Concentrate, Ready to Use, and Wipes.

  • How does Peroxigard compare to other chemistries, such as chlorine oxides, quaternary ammonium compounds and potassium peroxymonosulfate?
