We are excited to introduce our latest breakthrough innovation: CLEANCEL™ The permanently antibacterial, antiviral and odor reducing fiber. Free of harmful biocides, biodegradable and sustainable. Combining the advantages of Lyocell fibers and AGXX®, we developed together with the TITK e.V. our CLEANCEL™ fiber for a variety of textile products and nonwovens. We cordially invite you to our presentation [...]

Largentec participated in the ChemManager Innovation Pitch 2021. We are proud to be the winner in the category „Value to Society“. Many thanks to ChemManager and the jury for this great honor. With full energy the Largentec team works on valuable antimicrobial solutions and is looking forward to bring together with partnering OEMs great products [...]

Together with our professional measurement technology partner Helmut Fischer, we are able to optimize our antimicrobial surface coatings for i.e. healthcare applications that require high quality standards and price sensitive solutions. The X-ray fluorescence analysis enables us to precisely analyze the layer thickness and composition of AGXX-coatings. The image below shows an exemplary analysis of [...]

We gladly announce Heraeus as the exclusive licensee of our AGXX-Technology in form of particles. Based on the successful research and development work of the last years, Heraeus will now takeover the stalling and worldwide sales of our AGXX® technology in form of particles. We are humbled by the opportunity given hereby for us to contribute [...]

AGXX® was positively tested against Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) and SARS-CoV-2, that causes the new respiratory disease “COVID-19”. AGXX® technology permanently produces peroxides from dissolved oxygen. Organic structures, like bacteria membranes are known to be compromised by these reactive oxygen species. The effect of AGXX® on the two corona viruses were recently tested by incubating AGXX® [...]

„Multiresistente Keime sind nicht nur auf der Erde ein Problem, sondern auch im All, auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS. Forscher haben dort nun ein neues, antimikrobielles Material getestet – auf der mit Keimen besiedelten Toilettentür.“ Read full article: [...]

“Bacteria, both good and bad, go wherever humans do. Understanding their quirks in outer space is key to preserving astronauts’ health. Journeying into the vast outer reaches of space might seem an exercise in isolation. But even when pushing the boundaries of the final frontier, humans are never truly alone: Everywhere we go, a few [...]

“Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem on Earth – and it could occur in space too. Bacteria exposed to trace quantities of an antibiotic while growing in simulated microgravity developed resistance to the drug. What’s more, they retained that resistance for more than 100 generations after the antibiotic was removed.” Read full article: [...]

“Killing bacteria in space is surprisingly hard. Space missions have been plagued by bacterial biofilms that have coated surfaces and corroded equipment. Now, an antimicrobial metal surface that explodes bacteria on contact has been tested on the International Space Station (ISS), and it may be used in future missions to keep astronauts healthy.
