Research
IET is committed to conducting and gathering research to further the commercialization of Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA) technology demonstrated in the EcaFlo® system. While not a "new" process, ECA is gaining exposure and commercial acceptance through industry specific studies and new production methods.
EPA Registration (#82341-1)
EcaFlo® Anolyte is the only EPA registered pesticide of its kind. EcaFlo® Anolyte is the only EPA registered disinfectant whose active ingredient is hypochlorous acid, the most biocidal, efficacious, and yet safest specie of chlorine. Several laboratory studies have been conducted to meet data requirements for the EPA registration of EcaFlo® Anolyte as a pesticide. Data derived from the studies was to confirm claims made about the properties of hypochlorous acid, the active ingredient in EcaFlo® Anolyte.
Use Dilution Studies
The AOAC Use Dilution and Use Dilution MRSA studies1 evaluate the efficacy of EcaFlo® Anolyte against Staphylococcus aureus2, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus3, Pseudomonas aeruginosa4 and Salmonella enterica5. EcaFlo® Anolyte destroyed all three families of bacteria to receive its classification as a hospital disinfectant.
1 Study performed by an EPA approved lab. Classification Codes: 2 ATCC 6538 - Staphylococcus aureus, 3 ATCC 33591 - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 4 ATCC 15442 - Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5 ATCC 10708 - Salmonella enterica
5 Batch Analysis
The Five Batch Analysis1 was performed to analyze five lots of EcaFlo® Anolyte for free available chlorine, pH value and hypochlorous acid concentration. The data was collected according to EPA GLP Standards2 and proves the consistent properties of anolyte produced by EcaFlo® equipment.
1 Study performed by an EPA approved lab using 2 EPA GLP Standards, 40 CFR, Part 160.
