Pure Bioscience has launched IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense (IV-7), a broad-spectrum disinfectant with silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) technology as the active ingredient.
IV-7 can be used to kill germs on hard surfaces in various settings, including dental offices and medical clinics, homes, offices, schools, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, and animal shelters, the company said. Unlike traditional alcohol- or bleach-based surface disinfectants, IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense requires no hazard or warning statements, and has bacterial kill times as quick as 30 seconds, compared with 10 minutes for competing products, Pure said.
These benefits are due to Pure's SDC technology, the first new disinfectant active ingredient to be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in more than 30 years, according to Pure. SDC protects against resistant pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) -- and continues to kill bacteria for up to 24 hours after usage; yet, with its EPA Category IV toxicity rating, the lowest classification, SDC is also labeled for use in sensitive children's areas, Pure said.
Richmont Sciences is marketing the antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal product for Pure, initially targeting the institutional, janitorial, and sanitation markets.
