- Company Description
- Transparent disinfectant bleach does not fully adhere to personal protective equipment, leaving healthcare workers vulnerable to infectious diseases. This notably intensified during the 2014 Ebola outbreak, which served as initial inspiration for the Columbia University E-Team, Kinnos. The team created ‘Highlight’, a powdered color additive for disinfectants like bleach. The additive provides visualization of treated regions of the protective gear and fades when disinfection is completed, eliminating uncertainty of thorough coverage.
