SteraMist has established a successful track record in fighting pandemics and outbreaks and implementing SteraMist for emergency preparedness is vital. The COVID-19 pandemic took the world by surprise, and history has shown that other pandemics and viruses are likely to follow. Using a proven and trusted disinfectant for emergency outbreaks and daily for preventative maintenance, such as SteraMist, can alleviate the threat of infections from spreading and could stop a possible outbreak.

The Science Behind the Technology

Introducing a revolutionary approach to disinfection and decontamination, our technology offers a streamlined and effective solution. By harnessing the power of atmospheric chemistry, our process converts 7.8% hydrogen peroxide into a plasma-generated hydroxyl radical, achieving a 6-log and greater kill of pathogens leaving only oxygen and humidity as by-products. It is a simple yet effective solution that sets a new standard for global cleaning disinfection decontamination practices.

BIT technology was initially developed in response to weaponized anthrax spore attacks, and detailed testing performed by DARPA demonstrated the success of the technology in neutralizing chemical warfare agents. BIT, a TOMI patented process aerosolizes and activates a low concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, producing a fine aqueous mist (0.3-3 um in diameter) that contains a high concentration of hydroxyl radicals (“.OH”). The .OH damages pathogenic and resistant organisms (such as bacteria, bacteria spores, viruses, mold spores, other fungi, and yeast) via oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids and rendering the building blocks of nature’s amino acids, DNA and RNA inactive – leading to complete cellular disruption.

The unique alteration of the chemistry occurs only once BIT solution passes through the atmospheric cold plasma arc, which causes the breaking of the double bond of a hydrogen peroxide molecule and results in an .OH hydroxyl radical known as iHP. This patented process allows these hydroxyl radicals to exist in high concentrations without rapidly recombining and losing reactivity, while seeking all surfaces within the proximity of the resulting mist or fog.

TOMI has and continues to adapt this innovative technology into an everyday solution for use by multiple industries. Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”), we are mandated to register our disinfectants with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and specific state regulatory bodies.
