Abstract: Methods, improved compositions and kits are employed that provide dosing and cleaning solutions containing a halogen-based oxidant effectively delivered to remediate microfloral and biofilm development on the laundering surfaces of enclosed horizontal axis washers. The improved compositions, and the methods and kits employing them, provide for effective remediation while minimizing and/or preventing detrimental effects upon halogen-susceptible surfaces of the laundering devices, including reduced corrosion and biofilm on interior metal and laundering surfaces.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to compositions and method of producing diluted hypohalous acid and hypohalous acid vapor. These compositions can be used to treat allergen containing surfaces, hard surfaces, food contact surfaces, hospital surfaces, food surfaces, kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, human surfaces, animal surfaces, children's items, outdoor surfaces, soft surfaces, and medical instruments. These compositions can be converted to solid particulate or granular compositions. These compositions can be put into a variety of containers which preserve the stability. These compositions can be used to treat allergens and molds and as part of a mold detection system. These compositions can be dispersed into the air to enable microbiological control.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for achieving microbiological control, especially using active sources that generate hypochlorous acid vapor. These methods are effective in confined spaces and sealed containers. The active sources may be contained within permeable containers and may be actively dispersed. The active sources may be in the form of solids, liquids or gels.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of diluting hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid compositions with purified water to produce stable compositions. These compositions can be used to treat allergen containing surfaces, hard surfaces, food contact surfaces, hospital surfaces, food surfaces, kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, human surfaces, animal surfaces, military equipment, transportation equipment, children's items, plant surfaces, seeds, outdoor surfaces, soft surfaces, air, wounds, and medical instruments.

Abstract: A system and display for use in a mass retail or institutional environment. The system comprises displaying multiple products in an adjacent fashion, in a row, on a shelf, or on adjacent shelves where each product has a common antimicrobial active. One product is for use on hard surfaces and has a larger particle size. Another product is for use in the air or on soft surfaces and has a smaller particle size. In one example, the antimicrobial active is dilute hypochlorite.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for achieving microbiological control, especially using active sources that generate hypochlorous acid vapor with reduced levels of chlorine vapor. These methods are effective in confined spaces and sealed containers. The active sources may be contained within permeable containers and may be actively dispersed. The active sources may be in the form of solids, liquids or gels.

Abstract: A combination tool for cleaning and sanitizing a surface is disclosed. The tool includes a cleaning device and at least one UV flash unit. The cleaning device can be adapted for either wet or dry cleaning. The combination tool can also include a dispensing unit that can dispense a treatment agent. The tool can also include a sensor that can detect surface properties. In some arrangements, the tool includes a motive component that can propel the tool robotically.

Abstract: A humidifier that delivers dilute hypohalous acid can effectively treat microganisms in the room while at the same time raising the humidity level. This humidifier system can be used to treat mold, microorganisms, and allergens, while being safe to use around people, pets, and food.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses a method for performing an antibody-antigen assay using an ion-exchange technique prior to performing an antibody-antigen assay. Actives from protein-denaturing solutions are physically removed from the test sample, preferably by using an ion-exchange resin. The present invention also includes a method of performing an antibody-antigen assay, which does not use coating antibody on the sample holder. These methods for removing or eliminating interferences can be used in an ELISA to more effectively, efficiently and promptly screen formulations containing protein-denaturing compounds for efficacy against proteins in common allergens and detect and quantify such proteins.
