Our bio-organic solution has been validated by the following research institutions: U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency, United States Department of Agriculture, World Health Organization, Auburn University, Mississippi State University, University of Colorado and more.

Yes. Our bio-organic solution is registered as a biocide and has passed a 6-month stability challenge, under US EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) Series 830 test guidelines for Storage Stability (OPPTS 830.6317), pH (OPPTS 830.7000) and Corrosion Characteristics (OPPTS 830.6320) as performed by an independent contract laboratory.

1. Viruses are relatively simple in their molecular structure and composition. They need a host to reproduce and are not even considered living organisms by most biologists. They are composed of DNA or RNA encapsulated in a protein or lipid/fat membrane. These structures are easily degraded and destroyed by oxidation via our bio-organic solution, and viruses have no intrinsic cellular functions to be able to defend against, repair, or reproduce in response to this. Some have thicker or stronger membranes and are more difficult to kill, but all are susceptable to oxidation. 2. Single-celled organisms like bacteria and mold spores are a bit more complex. They are living cells, with some cellular defenses against oxidation. They have more complex cell walls and do have some metabolic pathways that allow them to “detoxify” oxidative species. Typically this makes them more difficult to kill than viruses, but given a bit more exposure time as compared to viruses, they are also very susceptible and will be killed. 3. Very complex organisms are multi-cellular and have many different cell types organized into tissues, organs, and other specialized structures. These cells have many metabolic pathways that allow them to respond to oxidative stress. Human cells can defend against and/or repair damage due to oxidation. Additionally, if excessive damage is done and cells die, they can be replaced (think of getting a bad sunburn – due to oxidation by UV light – and your skin pealing). 4. As an important final point, vertebrates produce the same bio-organic solution that Viricate, LLC uses as its disinfecting solution in their immune cells. Our own immune cells use this bio-organic solution to kill invasive pathogens like viruses and bacteria. The solution is highly localized within these cells, but there must be some innate immunity in the form of a molecular/metabolic pathway that prevents the solution from damaging the human cell. This specific molecular mechanism is still unknown to scientists.

Yes. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved our bio-organic solution for use in meatpacking and processing plants as a replacement for chlorine solutions. It has also been approved for use in Dentistry.
