Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) and its SteraMist platform were developed in conjunction with DARPA and Titan to respond to the threat of weaponized anthrax attacks following 09.11.2001.
Binary Ionization Technology is a patented two-step process that activates and ionizes a 7.8% hydrogen peroxide solution. The fine mist created by this process is called AIHP. The AIHP fog contains a high concentration of ROS, consisting mostly of hydroxyl radicals. These radicals  damage pathogenic organisms through oxidization of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. This oxidization leads to cellular disruption and/or dysfunction and allows for disinfection/decontamination in targeted areas and large spaces.
TOMI Environmental Solutions’ testing has confirmed the applicability and effectiveness of the SteraMist BIT system on a variety of infectious pathogens, resulting in EPA registration of Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) for use as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant as a combination solution and application technology. (EPA registration# 90150-2).
