Genencor to deliver Poster Presentation at the Annual Infection Prevention Society conference

The presentation, entitled “In Situ Peracetic Acid Generation: Utilization of the Biocatalyst Aryl Esterase for a Safe, Effective Sporicidal and Germicidal agent” underlines the company’s enzyme-catalyzed system that can be utilized to safely and effectively generate peracetic acid in situ in sufficiently high concentration for use at the site of application.

The system utilizes Aryl Esterase which is a novel enzyme with a number of important attributes that make it a unique and ideal biocatalyst for in situ peracetic acid generation. This poster will highlight the salient features of this biocatalyst and show data on the effectiveness of this system to inactivate standard EPA test organisms and virulent Anthrax spores.
    
The inaugural Infection Prevention Society (incorporating the ICNA) Conference & Exhibition will take place from the 22nd -24th September 2008 at the Harrogate International Centre. This key Infection Prevention and Control Conference is an essential event for anyone who has the challenge of preventing and controlling infections that occur through the provision of care or in the wider community.

The Infection Prevention Society (IPS) works together with healthcare colleagues, professional bodies, industry, government agencies and voluntary organizations in the fight to prevent and control infection. For more details visit http://www.comtec-presentations.com/ips/ .
