The grant was approved for the development and evaluation of new nano delivery vehicles for natural antimicrobial products with improved efficacy..

Previously the company announced that its research collaboration with the University of Guelph involved measuring the antimicrobial activity of the company's natural antibacterial products, Cleanezze™ and Vclean™. Cleanezze™ is a long acting hand sanitizer that contains 3 different natural antibacterial compounds.
