Pure Bioscience has announced that its distributor in Brazil has obtained national regulatory approval for its silver dihydrogen citrate-based disinfectant.

Pure had previously granted a license to market and sell its silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC)-based products in Brazil to Life Biociencias of Apucarana, Parana in Brazil.

Under the agreement, Pure sells concentrate to Lifebio/ PCI International for blending, packaging and distribution of non-pharmaceutical SDC-based antimicrobial products.

Lifebio/PCI has constructed a facility in Apucarana, Parana dedicated to blending and packaging SDC concentrate into hard surface disinfectant. Lifebio is now poised to begin marketing and sales of its SDC-based 100SX general disinfectant.

Michael Krall, president and CEO of Pure, said: "Broadening SDC commercialization for use in health, food and water applications gives testimony to Lifebio's foresight in planning and can serve as a model for the integrated utilization and multiple benefits of SDC-based solutions."
