Shares of Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE: DSS) today surged 5.16% after announcing that one of its subsidiaries Impact BioMedical, Inc. had completed the efficacy testing of its proprietary 3F Antiviral Biofragrance (“3F Biofragrance) at a biosafety level 3 containment facility at an independent university.
The study was conducted by Global BioLife, Inc., a subsidiary of Impact BioMedical Inc., which in turn is a fully owned subsidiary of DSS.
The study demonstrated a 10-fold reduction in COVID-19 viral population on surfaces using 3F Biofragrance. The study also proved that 3F Biofragrance was an effective surface disinfectant that kills the COVID-19 virus even in concentrations as low as 1/5000 or 0.02%.
