Company Uses Nanotechnology To Kill Germs

5 July 2007

Nanotechnology has delivered many applications in the field of health and medicine: now a company has claimed to use it to kill viral germs. The ability to combat germs is of course paramount in importance for protecting the public’s health. Improper hygiene can lead to viral strains such as Norovius and Staphylococcus aureus. Norovius is a highly contagious virus that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness. Staphylococcus aureus is a staph infection that can cause illnesses ranging from skin infections to pneumonia and other more serious conditions. Even worse, isolates of the strain, known as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, can be resistant to all known forms of penicillin and can persist on skin surfaces for days on end according to environmental condition.

Chlorine based disinfectants are the standard arsenal of cleansing agents used to combat these viral strains, but these disinfectants provide temporary results. Seeing a need, a company has used Nanotechnology to solve the problem. AirTech Solutions 4U created a solution with Nanotechnology particles layered onto to the disinfectant, rendering the product effective for longer periods of time. The solution uses water as its delivery mechanism and uses Nano-sized robots to stay on the surface and kill the virus molecules.

Tests with the Nanotechnology based product have already been successfully conducted by measuring the light value of the bacterial molecules, before and after application. The results are promising and ensure that continued research in this Nanotechnology based solution will deliver comparable products in the future, and hopefully render these contagious viral strains a thing of the past.

    Sir,

    We are manufacturer of Disinfectant and Antiseptic solutions viz Alcoholic Hand Rubs, Sterilants, Fumigants, Terminal cleaners in India and looking for such items for local market,

    We feel effective time of such preparations shall be more then to avoid the repeated moping or cleaning of floors, surfaces etc.

    Regards.
