A method of generating a microbial deactivation fluid and exposing medical instruments to the fluid in an apparatus having a circulation system for circulating a fluid through a decontamination chamber holding medical instruments and devices, following the steps of. (a) providing a first compartment and a second compartment in the circulation system; (b) providing a chemical reagent in the first compartment and a builder composition in the second compartment wherein the builder composition reacts with the chemical reagent to create a microbial deactivation fluid; (c) circulating a fluid through the second compartment at a known flow rate to begin dissolving the builder composition wherein the dissolution of the builder composition creates an alkaline fluid that is conveyed through the decontamination chamber; (d) circulating the alkaline fluid through the second compartment and the decontamination chamber until the fluid in the circulation system is an alkaline fluid with a predetermined pH level, then circulating the alkaline fluid through the first compartment to begin dissolving the chemical reagent to generate the microbial deactivation fluid; (e) continuing steps (c) and (d) to continue the generation of the microbial deactivation fluid; and (f) maintaining the concentration of the microbial deactivation fluid flowing through the decontamination chamber at a predetermined concentration for an instrument exposure period of time by continuously flowing the fluid at a first flow rate through the first compartment and at a second flow rate through the second compartment during the instrument exposure period of time such that the ratio of the first flow rate to the second flow rate results in optimal generation of the microbial deactivation fluid during the instrument exposure period of time.
