In concert, Applied Nanoscience Inc has developed a proprietary antimicrobial silver nanoparticle formulation (NanoFense™) which has demonstrated remarkable efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacteria, virus, and fungi. The formulation acts as a destructive adsorbent when applied or "coated" on existing filter media and has been validated to deliver this performance at multiple independent BSL-3 laboratories. Highly successful "real-world" testing results have been achieved against the H9N2 avian influenza simulant, Human Influenza virus A, Staphylococcus aureus including the viral MRSA strain, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and "H"-flu. Applied Nanoscience believes that this U.S. patented formulation can be customized for application to virtually any existing air filtration system. We have evolved the validation of our NanoFense formulation from suspension time-kill studies to actual aerosolized pathogen testing against aged, coated filter media samples. Application of our NanoFense "coating" to the filter media significantly reduces or eradicates the growth of such dangerous pathogens.
Applied Nanoscience Inc. is the owner of an expansive international Intellectual Property platform - NEFT™ (Nanoparticle – Enhanced – Filtration - Technology). The company currently holds issued patents in the United States, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan and Viet Nam covering a broad use of nanotechnologies tied to air filtration. This technology platform combines any type of nanoparticle that is known or engineered to be capable of destroying viruses, bacteria, fungi or toxins with one or more filters. If desired, any filter utilized in the NEFT platform may be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, but it is not necessary that any such filter be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic. The IP coverage spans the following utilization: the filter media can be coated with nanoparticles, or have nanoparticles impregnated into an existing filter to target specific viruses, harmful bacteria and fungi in ambient air. The nanoparticles can be in the form of either a powder or a pellet. When pellets are employed, the hydrophobic or hydrophilic filter is placed adjacent to the nanoparticles. Applied Nanoscience Inc. is a marketer and developer of novel antimicrobial nanoparticle formulations specifically targeted for air filtration applications. Our United States patented NEFT formulation can be applied to or “coated” on virtually any existing filter media and is proven to eradicate a wide range of harmful bacteria, virus and fungi. This enhancement positions a manufacturer for significant advantage in differentiating their current filtration products from competitors.
