LAB REPORTS

LAB REPORTS We want all of our potential customers to feel comfortable with our product. For this reason, we are constantly accumulating independant studies of the product. Below is a brief synopsis of the laboratory studies we have commissioned to date. LAB STUDIES Many independent laboratories have tested the properties of Star Lab’s Bio-Prepase TM enzyme. In all cases, bacteria and viruses were eliminated in just 30 seconds. Full studies are on file at Star Lab. Here is a summary: E. coli: The University of Connecticut, in 1995, determined the Star Lab enzymes eliminates E. coli., pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Trichophyton mentagrophytes: This fungus, which exists primarily in spore form, causes Athlete’s Foot. In 1995, the University of Connecticut determined the Star Lab enzyme eliminates the spores. They also determined the Bio-Prepase enzyme was more effective at eliminating athletes’ foot fungus than traditional medications. Legionella Pneumophila: This microorganism causes Legionnaires’s disease. In 1995, Bio Research Laboratories of Redmond, Washington determined that the Star Lab enzyme eliminates this organism in 30 seconds. Parvo: This is a deadly disease for dogs. Star Lab’s enzyme eliminates the parvovirus. The enzyme can be sprayed directly onto the animal and generously sprayed inside kennels without removing the animals. It only benefits the animals skin and coat. Because the enzyme biodegrades hard proteins, it also effectively eliminates fleas and their eggs. Salmonella choleraesuis: In 1997, Bio Research Laboratories determined that Star Lab’s enzymes eliminates salmonella. This research was done for the meat and poultry industry. E. faecium: In 2002, Bio Research Laboratories confirmed that Bio-Prepase effectively inhibits E. faecium, one of the two leading bacteria found in spa water. Biological Oxygen Demand: The Benton-Franklin District Health Department (Richland, Washington) ran a series of tests using the Star Lab Bio-Prepase enzyme in 1995. They were unable to get a reliable Biological Oxygen Reading (BOD) because “the oxygen depletion was too great to determine the true BOD.” This means the enzymes were so effective at neutralizing contaminants in the test solution that the test was not able to measure it. Bio-Prepase has the same BOD rating as chlorine, yet Bio-Prepase has no toxicity to any living thing. 100% harmless to children, pets, fish, birds, reptiles, plants, rivers, lakes, streams and ponds. It harms nothing except germs and viruses, yet has the killing ability of chlorine. Acute toxicity to Rainbow trout: Rainbow trout are very sensitive to toxins in the environment, which is why they are used in toxicity tests. An extensive series of tests with Star Lab's enzymes revealed a Lethal Concentration (LC50) figure of 20,341.4 parts per million. In comparison, chlorine has an LC50 figure of 7.4 parts per million. This means the chlorine used to disinfect our drinking water is 316 times more toxic than Star Lab’s enzymes. What this study tells us is this: fish live in water! They can’t live in pure enzyme alone, but mixed with water in heavy concentrations the enzyme is harmless. Chlorine on the other hand, is devastatingly toxic to fish and the environment. Product Safety: Product safety tests indicate that all products at user concentration levels are completely safe and do not exhibit any dermal, ocular or oral toxicity. Canada Health Regulations: In Canada, spa water product registration is regulated by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).Spa Solution is not registered under the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) and therefore can not be marketed in Canada as a sanitizer for spas. Accordingly, it is marketed, and sold, in Canada as a Ph and alkilinity stabilizer. Health Canada recommends a minimum free chlorine ( or equivalent Bromine) concentration of 3ppm.
