303 published studies
Peer-reviewed studies on hypochlorous acid — efficacy, kill kinetics, food safety, toxicology, wound care and environmental fate — indexed by pathogen and by industry, each summarised down to what it actually means for your protocol.
303 studies shown.
Why this exists
When an auditor, a QA director or a regulator asks for substantiation, the useful answer is not a marketing claim — it is the specific study, in the specific matrix, against the specific organism they care about. This hub is built so you can find that in under a minute.
The literature organised around the organism you are actually trying to control.
Including Shiga toxin-producing strains such as O157:H7. Associated with beef, leafy greens, sprouts and contaminated water; a low infectious dose makes wash-water control critical.
StudiesA psychrotrophic pathogen that grows at refrigeration temperature and establishes persistent biofilms in drains, floor junctions and equipment niches. The defining environmental control problem in ready-to-eat food manufacturing.
Studies69 indexed studies.
StudiesThe leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness worldwide, with poultry, eggs and fresh produce as principal vehicles. Cross-contamination during processing is where most control effort is spent.

StudiesThe most common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis in many countries, overwhelmingly associated with poultry. Fragile in the environment but present at high load on carcasses.
Studies8 indexed studies.
StudiesNot a single organism but the structural problem underneath most persistent contamination: cells embedded in a protective extracellular matrix that shields them from disinfectants and from cleaning.

StudiesThe dominant cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks in closed settings — cruise ships, schools, care homes. Non-enveloped, environmentally persistent and resistant to many common disinfectants.
StudiesThe virus responsible for COVID-19. Enveloped and readily inactivated by oxidising disinfectants, which produced a large body of HOCl efficacy work from 2020 onward.
Studies3 indexed studies.
StudiesA healthcare-associated pathogen that survives well on dry surfaces, making environmental cleaning a genuine transmission control rather than a cosmetic one.

StudiesFiltered to the sector, the matrix and the regulatory context that applies to you.
Each entry records concentration, contact time, measured result and the practical implication.
Result: Sustained suppression of Legionella pneumophila across 103 dental units, with isolated residual findings in a single unit
Result: Mean surface ATP fell from 161 RLU to 68 RLU at 30 minutes and 32 RLU at 60 minutes across 141 sample sites
Result: 82% ammonia removal and 77% dust removal in field validation, at about $1,900 to install and $590 a year to run
The research tells you the chemistry works. The audit tells you which system, at what concentration, on what schedule, for what payback.
