Micro-Scientific Industries, Inc. Introduces

A Newly Approved Disinfection Formula that Kills Hepatitis C Virus  

 

Micro-Scientific Industries, an Illinois producer and distributor of anitmicrobial products recently announced the introduction of a new, EPA approved product used to disinfect surgical and medical equipment surfaces in hospitals and out-patient surgery centers.

 

Opti-Cide-3 is EPA registered and produced in an FDA approved facility and meets the OSHA recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting blood-borne pathogens.  The Opti-Cide-3 formula is effective against hepatitis C virus as well as hepatitis B, TB and other microorganisms that present a significant challenge to the health care industry. 

 

The human hepatitis viruses have been known to survive in dried blood on surfaces for weeks and present a significant risk not only to patients, but also to health care workers and their families.  This new, unique formula, kills a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi with one 3-minute contact time.  No other formula has demonstrated efficacy in destroying such a wide range of disease producing microbes in such a short period of a time and still be safe for use and handling by health care workers.

 

Micro-Scientific Industries, Inc scientists are working on developing new products to address the challenges faced by the surge of newly discovered diseases such as SARS.  To learn more about Micro-Scientific Industries, Inc and its products, log on to www.opticide.com or call 1-888-253-2536.
