Bio-decontamination information for US following website launch.

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A new website that explains how to effectively neutralize „superbugs‟ and other biological contamination has just been launched. Targeted at the US life science, healthcare, food and defense industries, www.bioquellus.com has been specially developed to provide information on ambient temperature, residue-free germ eradication solutions.

Included are detailed applications for a range of products and services employing a patented process of hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) generation for the bio-decontamination of contaminated equipment, rooms or even buildings. Computer controlled HPV generators produce gaseous hydrogen peroxide vapor, which at a controlled dew-point status kills microorganisms. The same equipment then recycles the gas/vapor through a catalytic converter and dehumidifier, reducing it to a harmless combination of water vapor and oxygen.

The site covers areas that show rapid bio-decontamination means reduced factory downtime, improved productivity and increased profitability, while eliminating „fogging‟ with formaldehyde, now confirmed by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen.

It also offers unique and very effective solutions to cross-infection environmental challenges including all the major causes of HAIs, (MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter, Clostridium difficile, Klebsiella), viruses and fungi. Even the newly emerging superbugs such as those containing the NDM-1 and KR-2 genes are discussed in the microbiology section.

CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) filtration systems are also covered from a military aspect, as many of these are now installed as standard in some of the world‟s most modern military vehicles.

Commenting on the new website, Mike Herd, vice president of Bioquell, Inc. said, "The bio-decontamination of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi has enjoyed a raised profile in recent years. This has resulted from a number of factors including world events such as SARS and the terrorist threats/homeland security attacks using anthrax at the turn of the millennium, to developments in good manufacturing practice for the pharmaceutical sector and a need to stem the spread of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and antibiotic resistant „superbugs‟ such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile. Our new website offers a significant amount of valuable data on environmental contamination, and importantly discusses a wide variety of solutions to help overcome biological challenges."

The new Bioquell Inc. website can be found at www.bioquellus.com.
