Business Editors
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2001--Cerno Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of 37Point9 (OTCBB:TSPN), announced the entering into of an agreement with International Test Laboratories of Newark, N.J. to develop an addition to its SurfaceShield product that will enable the enhanced SurfaceShield to kill the bacillus anthracis (anthrax) while it is in its vegetative state and prior to release and sporulation of vegetative cells.
ILC's Dr. Martin Sackoff, PhD, Executive Director of Laboratories, said he was quite confident of the ability to formulate another biocidal agent that would theoretically act to provide a synergistic effect microbiologically and act to enhance the biocidal activity against anthrax in its vegetative state. When completed, the enhanced SurfaceShield would be effective in killing the anthrax bacillus on computer keyboards, wood, glass, and paper to name a few, in addition to the multitude of other microbiologicals now able to be killed by the basic SurfaceShield anti-microbiological spray.
