Biosafety
Microorganisms on surfaces: a source of infectionThe presence of microorganisms on everyday surfaces can be a source of infection for human beings. Some of the commonly found microorganisms on surfaces can cause diseases.
The main problem lies in the fact that many of these microorganisms can survive for variable periods of time on different surfaces and objects, thus being able to transfer from one person to another through direct or indirect contact. Moreover, certain surfaces may be more prone to harboring microorganisms due to factors such as humidity, temperature, and lack of proper cleaning and disinfection.
To prevent the spread of diseases through surfaces, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene and carry out proper cleaning and disinfection practices on everyday surfaces and objects, especially in places where there is a high concentration of people, such as hospitals, schools, and workplaces.
The current solutions that address this issue are out of date:
Among the most common are the use of disinfectant chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonia, and alcohol.
Dry steam is an effective alternative to kill microorganisms without the need for chemical products.
Ultraviolet light is also used to disinfect surfaces and air, although it should be noted that UV-C light can lose effectiveness based on factors such as distance and exposure time.
The ionization of air and surfaces is used to eliminate microorganisms from the environment, through the combined action of positive and negative ions to reduce the bacterial load.
All that glitters is not gold
Although chemical products are effective in killing microorganisms, their use can pose a health risk, especially if they are inhaled or used for prolonged periods of time. In addition, their excessive or inappropriate use can lead to microorganisms developing resistance to disinfectant chemicals.
On the other hand, while steam is an effective alternative, it can damage some sensitive surfaces, such as plastics and textiles, and is not effective in removing persistent stains or residues. Additionally, steam can be dangerous if inhaled or used improperly.
Ultraviolet light is another option for killing microorganisms on surfaces, but its effectiveness may be limited as it cannot penetrate into cracks or shaded areas where microorganisms can hide. Also, prolonged exposure to UV-C light can be dangerous to the skin and eyes.
As for ionization systems, these can generate ozone as a byproduct, which can be dangerous if inhaled. It has also been suggested that air ionization can produce toxic compounds and allergic reactions in some people.
AdTech technology and biosafetY
Viruses are a constant threat to industry and society in general, especially those that affect human and animal health, such as avian influenza. This disease, caused by the H5N1 virus, can spread quickly in bird populations, posing a serious threat to the poultry industry and food safety.
In addition, avian influenza can be transmitted to humans and cause serious and potentially fatal illnesses. That is why it is essential to control the spread of this virus in the industry, through adequate biosecurity and disinfection measures.
The implementation of rigorous hygiene and disinfection practices, such as the use of high-efficacy disinfectants, can help prevent and control the spread of avian influenza and other viruses, ensuring the safety of workers and consumers, as well as the quality and availability of food products.
AdTech technology has been proven to be highly effective in the elimination of a wide variety of microorganisms in just 1 second. Thanks to its high-power oxidation technology through electro-activated chlorine species, it is able to physically destabilize viral particles, making it a fundamental tool in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases. Additionally, this technology has been evaluated and certified by environmental organizations such as the US EPA and the CDC, ensuring its safety and effectiveness in eliminating microorganisms in multiple processes and in all types of industries.
We have a proven record of efficacy against viruses such as Sars-Cov-2, Hantavirus, and Rotavirus evaluated by the School of Medicine of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. We also have proven efficacy with E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Listeria Monocytogenes, Salmonella Spp, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis.
AdTech Technology: An effective and safe solution to eliminate viruses and bacteria
AdTech technology is completely harmless to humans, flora, and fauna, and it is biodegradable and not tested on animals. One of its numerous advantages is its long shelf life of 1 to 2 years, allowing for extended storage. Unlike other sanitizers, it does not produce gaseous chlorine, making it safer for operators and employees. Additionally, it does not lead to microbial resistance and is more effective than other chemical products such as chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, and quaternary ammonium.
Moreover, it can eliminate 99.9999% of fungi, viruses, and bacteria in just 1 second, and its effectiveness lasts up to 24 hours on surfaces, surpassing competition products that can take from 1 to 30 minutes to be effective, with a residence time on surfaces of 1 to 8 hours.
Furthermore, no significant adverse environmental impacts are expected as a result of its use and direct or diluted disposal. It can be eliminated through the sewage system without special conditions for its final disposal, as it does not generate environmental persistence or bioaccumulation in soils. Therefore, the mixture is not expected to generate new environmental problems that require mitigation measures of any kind.
Success cases
The application of AdTech technology in the chicken breeding sheds of Chile’s leading poultry industry has been a great success. After implementing the use of this technology in its facilities, significant improvements have been observed in the mortality and weight gain rates of the birds, as well as a decrease in microbial load in the sheds. Additionally, the effective elimination of critical pathogens such as Salmonella has improved the quality and food safety of the company’s poultry products. These results have demonstrated the efficacy and reliability of our technology in the poultry industry and have allowed the company to improve its production and meet the most demanding standards of quality and safety.
Successful cases include sanitation and disinfection in food industries, where products that can be applied to process rooms and surfaces are required, that are non-toxic, and do not generate trace compounds that can come into contact with processed food. Users in these industries highlight the fact that it does not generate an unpleasant odor at the time of application and that once dispersed in the environment, workers can be present in the area without being exposed to risk situations, without the need to wait for long action times. Examples of these are Susaron, El Carnicero, and Lo Valledor, companies that produce sausages.
Another industry in which success has been achieved is in the disinfection and sanitation of buses for Vule companies, where quaternary ammonium was applied, which is not effective against some viruses and fungi, being a disadvantage for complete disinfection. On the other hand, like in the food industry, workers had skin and eye irritation, posing health risks. When switching to AdTech technology, the buses were ready for operation once the product was applied, minimizing cleaning times without leaving residues on surfaces.
