PURE Bioscience, the creator of the patented non-toxic silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, has entered into a multi-year distribution agreement with ChemStation Buyers Association, Inc. (“ChemStation”). This agreement establishes special terms and conditions for the purchase and sale of SDC products. Tim Steffensmeier, Vice President of Sales at PURE Bioscience, commented, “PURE Bioscience’s SDC products align perfectly with ChemStation’s dedication to providing safe and effective custom cleaning solutions with environmental consideration. We are thrilled to collaborate with them as they expand their offerings to the food industry across North America.”
How SDC Works
SDC eliminates microorganisms through two mechanisms: 1) The silver ion disrupts structural and metabolic membrane proteins, leading to microbial death; 2) Microbes perceive SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to penetrate them. Inside the microbe, the silver ion damages the DNA, stopping replication and resulting in the microbe’s death. This dual action makes SDC highly effective and fast-acting against a wide range of microbes. Unlike traditional silver-based disinfectants, which have shelf lives of only hours to days, SDC is a stabilized silver ion complex with a shelf life of several years. The unique bond in SDC allows the silver ion to stay in solution while enhancing its bioavailability for antimicrobial activity.
PURE is focused on developing and commercializing our proprietary antimicrobial products primarily in the food safety arena. We provide solutions to combat the health and environmental challenges of pathogen and hygienic control. Our technology platform is based on patented, stabilized ionic silver, and our initial products contain silver dihydrogen citrate, better known as SDC. This is a broad-spectrum, non-toxic antimicrobial agent, and formulates well with other compounds. As a platform technology, SDC is distinguished from existing products in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity, and mitigation of bacterial resistance.
