Revolutionary disinfection: Viennese start-up relies on hydrogen peroxide!
From 2026, the Viennese company Braincon will revolutionize disinfection with innovative H₂O₂ technologies against multi-resistant germs.
Revolutionary disinfection: Viennese start-up relies on hydrogen peroxide!
In times when hygiene and cleanliness are top priority, the Viennese company Braincon has earned a place in the spotlight. During the corona pandemic, the topic of room and surface disinfection came into the public eye. Braincon has been committed to inactivating germs for almost 20 years and is now presenting a novel solution.
With their innovative, mobile complete system for disinfecting closed rooms, Braincon relies on modified hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and kurier.at reports that this process offers the possibility of reaching even difficult-to-access areas. The new device, called DCXplus, weighs 25 kilos and can be used in various areas, such as ambulances, hospitals and even in commercial kitchens.
Efficient disinfection in record time
The technology has it all: A patented mechanism creates 0.3 micrometer particles that are held in the air as aerosols and thus prevent condensation on surfaces. The speed of disinfection is particularly impressive: an ambulance can be disinfected in just 20 minutes - a real time saver, as competitors often need at least 90 minutes. The costs for such disinfection are between 6 and 8 euros.
Hydrogen peroxide is more than just a simple disinfectant. It acts as a strong oxidizing agent that is effective against a wide range of microorganisms. According to adesatos.com, H₂O₂ cold nebulization is particularly suitable for complex geometries and heavily contaminated surfaces, as the H₂O₂ mist also reaches areas that are difficult to access. After use, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into harmless substances such as water and oxygen, which leaves no problematic residues.
Technology with a future
Braincon is pursuing ambitious goals: the company wants to sell between 300 and 1,000 devices by 2026, at a price of 17,000 to 20,000 euros each. The devices are produced in Linz with parts from Austria and China. Braincon has also acquired numerous patents in the USA, India, China and Europe and cooperates with research institutions, including the University of Graz.
The possible uses for H₂O₂ are diverse and will continue to increase. The use of this technology has already found its way into the medical, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries and is helping to improve food safety and quality. As qualia-bio.com explains, by 2025, hybrid hydrogen peroxide applications will play a central role in maintaining hygiene and safety and are expected to reduce microbial contamination by up to 99.9%.
With their innovative technology and focus on effective disinfection, Braincon is positioning itself as a pioneer in a market that is becoming more important than ever. Because at a time when hygiene applications are essential, the company could be exactly right.
