Minamo Technology
The patent-pending Minamo coating technology consists of two steps:
Environmentally friendly surface activation with simple hydroxyl amines, using non-toxic solvent to introduce amino groups to the silicone surface. The presence of amino groups can be confirmed by ninhydrin- and FITC assays
Coating with biomolecules to confer antimicrobial properties to the silicone surface
The Minamo technology presents a novel approach without occupational hazards, environmental concerns or regulatory barriers.
