The rise of avian influenza (also known as bird flu) has driven the demand for safer and more effective disinfection methods, including HOCl. Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) has entered the market as a safe, efficient, eco-friendly, and highly cost-effective (when generated on-site) disinfection solution for avian influenza (bird flu) and all agricultural environments. HOCl is a powerful natural disinfectant that is revolutionizing the way we sanitize our agricultural spaces, including those used for avian purposes. In today’s world, ensuring a clean and pathogen-free environment has never been more critical.
What is HOCl?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring substance that the human body produces as part of its immune response. It’s highly effective at neutralizing bacteria, viruses, and fungi while remaining non-toxic to people, animals, and the environment.
Imagine entering a clinic that smells fresh and clean, with no harsh chemical fumes assaulting your senses. This is the experience provided by hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring substance produced by the human body as part of its immune response. HOCl is non-toxic to people, animals, and the environment. Unlike many traditional chemical disinfectants. Electrolyzed with salt, water, and a small amount of vinegar, it doesn’t leave harmful residues, making it a safer choice for frequent use.
HOCl as a Virucide
Fighting Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and More
Studies show that HOCl can effectively inactivate avian influenza viruses (AIV), commonly known as bird flu, making it a valuable tool for agricultural and food safety applications. The FDA and USDA recognize HOCl as safe and suitable for use on poultry, reinforcing its role in biosecurity and disease prevention.
Mechanism of Action
HOCl disrupts the protective protein coat of viruses, causing structural damage and aggregation that render them inactive. Even in the presence of organic material (e.g., fetal bovine serum, FBS), HOCl has been shown to reduce viral titers significantly.
Innovations: HOCl Dry Mist Fogging & On-Demand Generation
HOCl Dry Mist Fogger
Microbe Ninja’s HOCl Dry Mist Fogger disperses a fine, dry mist that reaches corners and shadowed surfaces for comprehensive air and surface disinfection. Ideal for:
- Poultry farms and agricultural facilities
- Medical and dental offices
- Schools and daycare centers
- Gyms and fitness centers
- Restaurants and food processing facilities
Fogging is particularly effective against airborne and surface viruses, including AIV. Using 200 ppm HOCl, inactivation can occur within about 10 minutes.
