Continually improving products by using ingredients that are better for human health and the environment. This company measures the environmental and health impacts of each of its products. These products are used in home cleaning, personal care, and insect control. Greenlist™ provides seven criteria to rate chemical parameters, such as vapor pressure, octanol/water partition coefficient, biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, human toxicity, European Union Classification, and source/supply.

Medical sterilization of sensitive tissues using supercritical carbon dioxide, peracetic acid, and water. Traditional sterilization techniques, such as ethylene oxide and gamma radiation, eliminate bacteria and bacterial endospores while causing severe damage to the tissue. Ethylene oxide can cause mutations and cancer, and gamma radiation can penetrate and damage cells. This process serves as an alternative method to sterilization. Supercritical carbon dioxide is easily available, inexpensive, non-toxic, and ensures gentle treatment of the product.

High-power ultrasonic homogenizers. Ultrasonic power is an effective and energy-efficient alternative to high-shear mixers, high-pressure homogenizers, and agitated bead mills. It is used to apply high shear and intense stress to liquids, powder-liquid mixtures, and slurries. This device is used for mixing, dispersing, particle size reduction, extraction, and chemical reactions. This extraction process generates no impurities or hazardous chemicals. Liquid regeneration also allows for prolonged use of cleaning liquids.
