A combined calorimetric gas- and spore-based biosensor array is presented in this work to monitor and evaluate the sterilization efficacy of gaseous hydrogen peroxide in aseptic filling machines. HO has been successfully measured under industrial conditions. Furthermore, the effect of HO on three different spore strains , namely Bacillus atrophaeus, Bacillus subtilis and Geobacillus stearothermophilus, has been investigated by means of SEM, AFM and impedimetric measurements.
