OxB Corporation is a Louisiana Company headquartered in Baton Rouge. The company acquired worldwide marketing rights on technology developed and patented by scientists at Louisiana State University (LSU) Agriculture Center. The technology is a newly discovered, safe, broad-spectrum sporocide and cold sterilant (as well as disinfectant and sanitizer).

The "super oxidant" technology is suitable for the wide range of applications typically requiring a "super oxidizer". Its oxidative power makes it a superior contact biocide, capable of rapidly destroying all forms of microorganisms. OxB Corporation is focused on commercializing this technology as a biocide under the name OxB Sterilant and OxB Biocide.

Because this product is environmental friendly, a clear, odorless and colorless liquid that is extremely effective, safe to human health and easy to handle, it is uniquely in a position to revolutionize the antimicrobial industry.

The product is suitable for applications including endoscope reprocessing, sterilization of operating room implements and surfaces, decontamination in poultry and other food processing, in consumer sanitizer and disinfectant products, in industrial cooling towers to destroy biofilm and bacteria, and all applications where conventional biocides are considered for use.

Discussions are underway with the EPA on anthrax decontamination; with the US Army where a lightweight, yet highly effective, sterilant is required in mobile, front line surgical units; and with the food processing industry on abatement of bacteria contamination.

As a prerequisite to introducing OxB Biocide into commerce, the company will complete the regulatory processes required by US law and administered by agencies such as the EPA, FDA, and USDA.

BACKGROUND

Biocidal compositions capable of effectively destroying microorganisms are normally harmful to human health. Either the compositions developed are too toxic to humans or other life forms, which are not the intended target; to the environment; or the compositions are not sufficiently stable for storage and use under practical or commercial conditions. Most biocidal compositions are also ineffective against bio-films and microorganisms in spore form (e.g. Bacillus anthracis, a potential bio-weapon of terrorist).

The term biocide is a general term for a material that kills microorganisms. The classifications of biocides in order of their effectiveness are: 1) sterilant 2) disinfectant and 3) sanitizer.OxB offers the opportunity to safely meet the requirements of a sterilant.

PATENT

The Louisiana State University patent (US 6,866,870) describes a composition and the method of formation of a composition from a peroxide and a hypochlorite. Supplemental patents either have issued or are pending in the major worldwide markets.
