We've developed a technology based on magnetic pulse to control virus, bacteria, mould and yeast. We are currently testing its application against mildew in vines
About
The technology could work agains multiple viruses, bacteria (such as Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Weissella, Brochothrix, Leuconostoc, Pseudomonads, Shewanella, Clostridium), mold (incl.: Mucor, neurosporg, penicillium, rhizopus, stachybotrys, trichoderma, trichophyton) and yeast (where we can control taxonomy, genetic expression and metabolic growth). Each of its applications requires an extensive research. That's why we're now focusing only on one microorganism (mildew) and one application (agriculture - vines), to prove that the technology works, before moving to other sectors.
Key Benefits
Some of the advantages of the technology are: -It's safe for people and other leaving beings. So it can be used while there's people around. - No interference with other electronic equipment. As it's using low frequency waves. - At an industrial scale, the device will be small, simple to produce and to be used with a low energy consumption. - It will avoid the use of chemicals in different areas (strong disinfection products, pesticides...). - It could help prevent different diseases thanks to the increase of food safety and water sanitation. - It could help reduce the amount of food waste by extending food shelf-life.
Applications
The technology we've developed has multiple applications, from disinfecting surfaces against viruses and bacteria in healthcare environments, to the food industry to guarantee the safety of food and to extend products shelf-life or reduce the need for cold, for water disinfection or even in agriculture, where it could be used as substitute to some pesticides.
