High Level Disinfectant and Cleaner. SteriGENE destroys bacteria, fungi, protozoa, spores and viruses, including COVID-19.
Action:

It is well known that long chain quaternary compounds that possess the greatest antibacterial activity are those with at least one radical, with a C8 to C18 length carbon chain. It is also known that absorption plays an important role in the activity of disinfectant formulations. SteriGENE® disinfectant is highly surface active and is therefore readily absorbed. Because of the large relative surface area of particulate micro-organisms, the first stage of germicidal activity probably begins with the absorption of the disinfectant by the microbial cell. It has been observed that such absorption increased the permeability of the cell membrane; leading to rupture of the cell and the decrease of lysine and glutamic acid. The inclusion of dodecylamine and sulfamic acid in the formulation appears to stimulate the contraction of cytoplasm followed by complete stripping of the cell wall. A second mode of action proposed is that cell death results from inactivation of energy-producing enzymes such as those concerned with glucose, succinate and pyruvate oxidase systems. As with glutaraldehyde and similar toxic substances, the exact mode has not been fully elucidated. However, using standard biocidal tests, this formulation has been shown to be highly effective.

SteriGENE® works up to 70% quicker than conventional high level disinfectants with the inclusion of micro-emulsion particles (nano particles) that enable the active ingredient molecules in the product to be carried rapidly through cell walls of micro-organisms.Nano particles can enter areas like microscopic fissures and crevices in hard surfaces which up to now have not been penetrable by conventional carrier systems. Disinfectant actives are able to spread across a complete surface area, to perform a far more thorough anti pathogenic cleansing task than was previously possible.
