BioNeutral Group Receives Positive Testing Results From A Global Independent Laboratory For Its Ygiene Sterilant Against Anthrax Spores

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BioNeutral Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BONU) a specialty life science technology based company announced today that it has received positive test results from a global laboratory which is the world's largest private, independent research and development organization for its Ygiene Sterilant against fully virulent Bacillus anthracis Ames Spores. These tests were conducted to simulate real world contamination situations where both nonporous and porous surfaces would be present with fully virulent anthrax spores. Anthrax contaminated porous surfaces represent an especially difficult remediation testing situation. In the tests conducted, commercial carpet was used as the porous surface. The test results indicate that on the demanding carpet substrate, Ygiene IS is much more effective at eliminating anthrax spores than chlorine bleach which today is often recommended and frequently used in addressing anthrax contamination. In addition to the superior speed to kill, the Ygiene IS does not have the detrimental effect on surfaces which chlorine bleach exhibits.

BioNeutral's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Andy Kielbania, said, "Our Ygiene IS was specifically designed for use by the military, homeland security and first responders that need to deal with biological threats. We are extremely pleased with these results which confirm the exceptional efficacy of our Ygiene sterilants."

BioNeutral's CEO, Mark Lowenthal, stated, "These results demonstrate the uniqueness of our Ygiene IS Sterilant and will allow us to move forward in critical US government and appropriate foreign government application areas by providing the best solution to difficult problems."
