A container (162) for holding powdered reagents that interact with water to form an anti-microbial fluid for use in an apparatus for cleaning and microbially deactivating items is disclosed. The container (162) includes a lid (242), a fluid inlet (222) connectable to a source of water on an apparatus for cleaning and microbially deactivating items, a fluid outlet covered by barrier element (252) in fluid communication with items to be microbially deactivated, and a tubular body (164) defined by an annular wall (166). A continuous fluid passage is defined through the container between the fluid inlet (222) and the fluid outlet. A plurality of spaced-apart barrier elements are disposed within the fluid passage to define a plurality of isolated compartments within the container. The barrier elements are impervious to powdered reagents, but permeable to the chemical reagents when dissolved in a liquid. A first dry, powdered reagent is disposed within one of the compartments (174) for forming an anti-microbial solution when water flows through the container. A removable desiccant packet (284) is disposed within lower compartment (282). |
