Studies Show Sterilox Solution Effective Against Human and Animal Influenza
MALVERN, Pa. & STAFFORD, England--(Business Wire)--
PuriCore (LSE:PURI), the life sciences company focused on developing and
commercializing proprietary, green solutions that safely, effectively and
naturally kill infectious pathogens without causing harm to human health or the
environment, reaffirms that its Sterilox Solution has been proven highly
effective against human and animal influenza. Multiple research studies showed
that Sterilox Solution as a spray and in fogging form completely inactivate
human influenza and H5N1 avian influenza and passed the US Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA's) recommended hard-surface disinfection test. Results
of these studies were presented at the National Environmental Health Association
Conference last year. Additional independent research shows that hypochlorous
acid is effective in inactivating H5N1 avian influenza in water. 

The Sterilox Solution mimics the natural anti-microbial hypochlorous acid
produced by the human body's immune system to fight pathogens. A wide range of
markets that depend upon controlling the spread of infectious
pathogens-including food retail and foodservice, hospitality, medical device
disinfection, and wound therapy-use PuriCore's Sterilox Systems to produce this
safe, natural, and green disinfectant and sanitizer. 

PuriCore advises its customers to follow the disinfection guidelines issued
recently by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to those in
healthcare settings that "disinfection strategies used during influenza seasons
can be applied to the environmental management of swine influenza." 

Mark Sampson, PhD, Director of Microbiology for PuriCore, said:
"Given the heightened concern with H1N1 swine influenza outbreak by healthcare
providers, governments, and the general population, we reaffirm that independent
studies demonstrate that our safe and environmentally friendly Sterilox Solution
is highly effective against animal and human influenza. Sterilox Solution can be
used safely in a broad range of disinfection and sanitizing applications in a
variety of settings including hotels, hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and
restaurants."
