  • Patent number: 9220799
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide: a bactericidal agent composition which can exhibit an excellent bactericidal effect in the presence of an organic substance and against biofilms; a method for producing the bactericidal agent composition; and a sterilization method using the bactericidal agent composition. [Solution] A bactericidal agent composition which comprises water containing ultrafine bubbles having a most frequent particle diameter of 500 nm or less and a bactericidal component. Preferably, the density of most frequent particles of the ultrafine bubbles are 10,000 particles or more and the density of ultrafine bubbles each having a particle diameter of 1000 nm or less is 1,000,000 particles or more.

  • Publication number: 20120128749
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a composition which enables the more effective development of the efficacy of a water-soluble drug in a solution containing the drug; and a dispersion in which a hydrophobic drug can be dispersed stably without requiring the use of any surfactant. Specifically disclosed are: a composition comprising ultra-fine bubbles having a mode particle size of 500 nm or less, a drug and water; and a process for producing a composition comprising ultra-fine bubbles having a mode particle size of 500 nm or less, a drug and water, which utilizes an ultra-fine bubble generation apparatus.
