Focus Area

• Enhanced Antimicrobial Efficacy: Specialised metal nanomaterials, such as silver, copper, and zinc oxide nanoparticles, exhibit superior antimicrobial properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Their unique physicochemical properties and high surface area-to-volume ratio make them better at interacting with the cell membranes of microbes. This makes them more effective at killing and disinfecting a wide range of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

• Sustained Release and Prolonged Action: Metal nanomaterials can be engineered to provide a sustained release of antimicrobial agents, ensuring prolonged disinfection effects, making them highly effective in environments requiring continuous microbial control.

• Versatile Formulation in Emulsions: The incorporation of metal nanomaterials into emulsions allows for versatile and stable formulations that can be easily applied to various surfaces, including water, air, and any specific material.

• Reduced Risk of Resistance Development: The multi-modal action of metal nanomaterials reduces the likelihood of microorganisms developing resistance. Unlike traditional antibiotics, which typically target specific bacterial functions, metal nanoparticles can disrupt multiple cellular processes, including membrane integrity, protein function, and DNA replication

Current Status

• Commercial Deployment and Market Penetration: Our technology has successfully advanced beyond the experimental and validation stages, reaching Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9. This has been proven in real-world operational environments. We are currently in the phase of commercial deployment, actively selling our product to various industries, including healthcare, agriculture, poultry, fishery, and sanitation.

• Scalability and Production Optimization: With the product now in the market, we are focusing on scaling up production to meet increasing demand. Our efforts are directed towards optimizing manufacturing processes, ensuring consistent quality, and reducing production costs. It comes with the specialized packaging, which is also developed by our research team.

• Customer Feedback and Continuous Improvement: Having crossed TRL 9, we are now gathering valuable feedback from our customers to further refine and enhance our product. We are in close collaboration with end-users to understand their specific needs and challenges, enabling us to make data-driven improvements.
