TOMI SteraMist™ machines and equipment use proprietary Binary Ionization Technology® developed in conjunction with US DARPA and Titan to neutralize weaponized biological agents. This technology is now available in the private sector for decontamination and sterilization of bacteriological, viral and other contaminants.

Binary Ionization Technology® is a patented two-step process that activates and ionizes a 7.8% hydrogen peroxide solution. The created AIHP mist holds a high concentration of ROS, consisting mostly of hydroxyl radicals. These damage pathogenic organisms through oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. This leads to cellular disruption and/or dysfunction and allows for disinfection/decontamination in targeted areas and large spaces.

As we briefly discussed on the main page, log reduction refers to the relative number of live pathenogens eliminated through sanitization or disinfection (cleaning) of a given environment. The number in the reduction value refers to the 'number of nines' in the reduction percentage. Log two reduction means that 99% of live microorganisms are eliminated, [...]

To verify the efficiency of SteraMist™ we tested according to EPA guidelines across six laboratories, against a wide variety of harmful microbial pathogens.
