BioTek School Treatment Program

The ABS program is comprised of two proprietary technologies that addresses three specific issues - Mechanical Disease Vectors, Bioaerosols and Volatile Organic Compounds.

Biostatic Coatings

Public buildings are focal points for disease transmission. Common touch point surfaces like door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, phones, computer keyboards, counter tops, chairs and desks harbor disease causing microorganisms. According to the CDC cross-contamination through common touch surfaces is the primary transfer mechanism for common infectious illnesses like flu, colds, Staph infections and a host of other more dramatic "social" diseases.

To address the limitations of traditional disinfectants, our treatment program incorporates biostatic antimicrobial technologies to treat mechanical disease vectors. Biostatic coatings impart a protective and durable antimicrobial barrier on all surfaces and fabrics. A single treatment may last for months depending upon the types of surfaces and the environment in which they are utilized. This broad spectrum technology provides unmatched antimicrobial performance for high traffic contact surfaces. Read More

Air Purification

The Biopure Hydroxyl Generator™ is the most advanced air purification technology in existence. Developed in the late 1990's, hydroxyl generators convert ambient water vapor in the air into powerful superoxides - hydroxides and peroxides molecules. Superoxides are some of the most reactive molecules in nature and possess a powerful antimicrobial and VOC reduction effect. When superoxides contact microorganism or volatile organic compounds, they initiate a chemical reaction that destroys cellular proteins and oxidize complex organic chemistries. This reaction reducesproteins and complex compounds to their basic elemental building blocks including carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Read More (PDF)

Hydroxyl and peroxyl molecules achieve this antimicrobial performance without the introduction or creation of poisons, pesticides, heavy metals, or residual volatile compounds. Because this technology harnesses and amplifies the natural reduction process of organic compounds, hydroxyl and peroxyl molecules pose no health or environmental danger. Unlike gaseous air pollutants like ozone, hydroxyls do not create any adverse reaction to exposure - even at exceptionally high concentrations. The ABS is designed to provide a durable, cost-effective solution for difficult disinfection and air purification environments. Biostatic coatings and hydroxyl generators provide around-the-clock performance without a significant labor input. Our program is designed to augment existing disinfection protocols and does not require special equipment or personnel.
