About Microcide, Inc.

Microcide, Inc. is a biotechnology company in Sterling Heights, Michigan started by John Lopes Ph.D. and Rose Lopes for research and development of alternative safe and non-toxic environmentally biodegradable microbicidal agents. The company was established in 1990. It launched the first commercial version of its product in 2012 and has had moderate growth and

achieved profitability up to this point in 2018.

The company was tasked with the mission to enhance individual and community health by providing safe and effective healthcare, food service, agriculture, and personal care products. The company has developed a broad platform of basic technology to produce non-toxic alternative products that can replace chlorine, quaternary ammonium compounds, aldehydes, and other toxic or oxidizing microbicidal agents. Microcide, Inc. was nominated by the EPA for the Presidential Green Chemistry Award.

Microcide took a paradoxical approach to eliminate toxic microbicidal agents by using food grade ingredients to kill bacteria in food, on food contact surfaces, and on skin and mucous membranes. These products do not promote drug resistance and are effective against Superbugs, H1N1 flu, MRSA, etc.

Funding was provided through multiple grands from the National Institutes of Health Infectious Disease Branch, a Small Business Innovative Research Grant and Nasa Food Technology Partnership. Microcide developed safer products with equal or superior efficacy, stability, prolonged shelf life and desired organoleptic properties such as clarity of the preparation, be colorless, and odorless. Microcide obtained multiple patents for the technology and trademark protection for the innovative products developed.
