We have fully characterised our beneficial microbes using the latest in silico and microbiological techniques, enabling us to evidence the safety and efficacy of our microbial and antimicrobial technologies.
We have sequenced the whole genome of our microbial strains and annotated them using our in-house pipeline.
To date we have investigated the following:
Dr. Emma Saunders details our comprehensive approach to verifying our products, starting with the full characterisation of our beneficial microbes and antimicrobial additives.
Using the most advanced techniques, we thoroughly test our products to confirm their safety and effectiveness, providing you with the assurance you need.
In depth scientific validation and verification is the backbone of our product development processes.
Our products contain no toxins or genetically modified organisms.
Our products don’t contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
Our products use naturally occurring materials, including plant extracts and essential oil technology.
Using genomic profiles we can also identify which Bacillus strains in our library may secrete compounds with commercial, therapeutic and pharmaceutical properties.
Our highly skilled microbiologists apply the latest microbiological techniques to understand how Bacillus grow in different temperature and pHs, in anaerobic and microaerophilic conditions.
They apply both indirect and direct methods to measure:
Using all of this data, optimal consortia are designed to meet the specific requirements in the area of application.
Our plant derived antimicrobial technology has been fully validated following the 3-phase process as defined in the BS EN 14885:2015 standard. This standard outlines that all disinfectants should be tested using a three-phase method, where each successive phase is harder to pass as it simulates in-use conditions more closely.
Not only are the antimicrobial actives effective according to BS EN1276, BS EN13727, BS EN14776, but our Biosan products have been validated through “real life” testing in FHU, filled with sanitary dressings. In these tests our product provides a 5-log reduction (i.e. a 99.999% kill rate) in gram negative and gram positive bacteria numbers (E.coli and S. aureus) throughout the length of the service cycle.
Genesis Biosciences is fully committed to creating and developing the most environmentally responsible microbial and antimicrobial products available globally. Allow us to introduce you to eco-benign®.
