LightActive Lab Tests

LightActive™ is the highest performance photocatalyst coating available and uniquely has the ability to utilize normal interior lighting (non-UV) to photomineralize ALL organics. This broad-spectrum reduction includes all pathogenic microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, endospores, endotoxins and prions) on surfaces and all potentially harmful VOCs and many inorganic pollutants in the air.
All microbial and volatile organic compound tests for patented LightActive™ are conducted with low lux typical interior light, temperature and humidity. Challenge organisms are dried onto surfaces as found in real-world environments.

Representatives of different microbe types (virulent spores, viruses, gram positive, gram negative and antibiotic resistant bacteria, biofilms) were chosen to demonstrate the broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy of LightActive™. LightActive LLC has constantly improved the light energy efficacy and therefore the antimicrobial and VOC reduction performance of our photocatalyst products. Again, Intelligent Surfaces™ coatings can be applied to virtually any existing substrate, including fabrics and textiles.

LightActive™ has been demonstrated to be effective in independent lab tests at deactivating and killing the following microbial challenges in just low threshold visible lighting:

Clostridium difficile endospores

RNA type viruses (Phage MS-2 e.g. norovirus, influenza, the common cold and hepatitis C)

Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteria

Escherichia coli (E.coli) bacteria

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus (Aureus MRSA) bacteria

Bacillus atrophaeus bacteria

Listeria monocytogene bacteria

Pseudomonas bacteria

Xanthomonas sp.bacteria

Human Coronanvirus

Apergillus flavus fungi

Penicillium funiculosum fungi

Chaetomium globoum fungi

Aspergillis niger fungi
