Summary
Abstract
In conclusion, our results revealed that the combination of TNEW and LA displayed highly synergistic antibacterial activities against E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces as compared with those demonstrated by the individual TNEW or LA treatment groups. The combined TNEW-LA treatment thus augmented the individual effectiveness of either antibacterial agent alone. The fluorescence analysis data demonstrated that the bactericidal mechanisms of the

Reading this responsibly
Published figures are obtained under controlled conditions, usually on clean surfaces or in defined matrices. Organic load, surface condition, temperature and application coverage all affect real-world performance. Use these numbers to design a protocol, then validate it on your own site with environmental swabbing.
Applying it
Concentrations in this range are within the adjustable output of every EcoloxTech commercial system, so implementing this protocol is a settings question rather than a procurement one. Where the claim needs to sit on a registered label, see HOCl-AS200, EPA Reg. No. 101112-1.
