Microbiological Germ Kill Testing

This independent third party microbiological testing was performed at Lonza, Inc., Allendale New Jersey, a nationally recognized industry laboratory. Microbiological testing was performed on six versions of SafeHands proprietary formula(s) whereby each formula was subjected to the normal battery of the most difficult organisms to kill that are common to such in-vitro tests (i.e. Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aouriginosa). The outstanding results - SafeHands® Percent Kill Rate of 99.99% is memorialized via electronic correspondence from LONZA on November 23, 2006 below:
