Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments (2012)
Journal Article
Lee, S. W., Thorn, R., Robinson, G., Greenman, J., & Reynolds, D. M. (2012). Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments. European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 31(5), 641-653. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10096-011-1369-9

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low m... Read More about Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments.

Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides (2011)
Journal Article
Robinson, G., Tonks, K. M., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. M. (2011). Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 55(11), 5214-5219. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.00489-11

Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very s...

Evaluation of the efficacy of electrochemically activated solutions against nosocomial pathogens and bacterial endospores (2010)
Journal Article
Salisbury, V. C., Robinson, G. M., Lee, S. W., Greenman, J., & Reynolds, D. M. (2010). Evaluation of the efficacy of electrochemically activated solutions against nosocomial pathogens and bacterial endospores. Letters in Applied Microbiology, 50(3), 289-294. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1472-765X.2009.02790.x

Aims: Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) are generated from halide salt solutions via specially designed electrolytic cells. The active solutions are known to possess high biocidal activity against a wide range of target microbial species,...
