Research

Over 2 decades of concentrated and dedicated research support the unique capabilities of the SIAD process. This research, through surrogate and/or original microorganisms, has demonstrated the SIAD process ability to eradicate micro-organisms.

The following are samplings of SIAD research documents, conducted by independent, accredited institutes and universities, substantiating the SIAD process abilities.

NOTE: During the early studies with the SIAD devices and process, the devices were called BUD Ultraviolet Devices after the research engineer Robert “Bud” Duthie and the process was called Dynamic Sterilization. Although the terms BUD ultraviolet and dynamic sterilization were coined to differentiate from germicidal ultraviolet and common sterilization, the terminology required the change to Synergistic Isogenous Activated Decontamination, SIAD, for true definition of the process.
