ABSTRACT:
The method of microbiological decontamination of a machine comprising an enclosure for treating a support and a conveyor comprising a shuttle, comprises the steps of obtaining a container adapted to be received on the shuttle and to diffuse biocidal agent in the enclosure, of placing the container on the shuttle, of moving the shuttle within the enclosure, and of evacuating the agent. The microbiological analysis system comprises a container, a microbiological analysis machine comprising at least two stations for treatment of the support, a conveyor comprising a shuttle adapted to receive and to move the support, the container being adapted to be received on the shuttle, as well as means for evacuating the biocidal agent.
