Binary Ionization Technology Systems
Energized Chemistry - H2O2
Ionization:
BIT Plasma Head
Cold Plasma (BIT Plasma)
UV Light, heat, ozone
Chemical Activation (BIT Chemical)
Basic Chemical Reaction:
H2O2 + activator peroxy acids + hydroxyls,
reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Redox potential greater than chlorine or
peroxide alone
What it Does:
Destroys proteins on contact (via oxidation)
killing biological agents including viruses,
molds, bacteria and bacterial spores
Reacts with chemical bonds in chemical
agents destroying their activity

BIT Mobile Control Units
What is the BIT Plasma
System?
 Aerosolized solution
containing hydrogen
peroxide
 Electric arc produced by
17K volt potential
 Hydrogen peroxide,
nitrogen and oxygen are
energized (ionized)
 Creates a variety of “free
radicals” including:
Hydroxyl radical
Hydroxyl ion
Superoxide anion
Singlet oxygen
Other reactive oxygen
species (ROS)
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Destroy Chemical
Bonds, Disrupting Proteins, Lipids and Chemicals
GA
VX

BIT Plasma System Commercial Product
SteraMist Fogging Unit
Primary use is to decontaminate
surfaces in tissue banks, hospitals
and pharmaceutical manufacturing
facilities
Extensive in-house and 3rd party
testing against a wide range of
pathogens
Production of commercial units and
sales began in September 2008
Use of extendable ‘pods’ allow for
flexibility of mist application

Extensive Testing Against Biologicals
In-house and
multiple 3rd party tests
Exposure times 15-90 seconds
Killing up to 9 logs
Effective against mold, spores,
viruses and bacteria
