The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted its final rule for technology-based pre-treatment standards under the Clean Water Act.

We have been following evacuation system cleaning products, in particular the use of micro biology in place of chemicals for years. Not only has Bio-Pure passed the stringent criteria for evaluation by Dr. Gordon J. Christensen of Clinicians Report, it has been included in their recommended list of products, evaluated as hygiene category products.

No one can dispute that Dr. Gordon J. Christensen of Clinicians Report is the gold standard for independent product testing in the Dental Industry. It was with pleasure that we noticed their FREE report published at the end of 2013 is a review of Infection Control Products.
