ECA Technology
Mode of Action
The mechanism of action for how ECA Anolyte eradicates these various micro-organisms is as follows:
- The free ions in ECA Anolyte rapidly react and denature proteins. ECA Anolyte should not be used on protein based products, since it will react and destroy the proteins.
- Once ECA Anolyte comes into contact with a micro-organism, it attacks the bacterial proteins located in the cell membranes. ECA Anolytes superiority is such that it will eradicate antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria and viruses including MRSA, (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococci) Clostridium difficile and anthrax.
- Secondly, because of the osmolarity difference, ECA Anolyte will induce a rupture on the cell membrane leading to cell lysis.
