Welcome to RF BIOCIDICS

RF Biocidics (RFB) is developing novel disinfectant and disinfestant technology and equipment for a broad range of applications including food safety, agriculture, shipping, residential, and water treatment to name a few. The technology is characterized by its ability to differentially heat and eliminate undesirable pathogens (microbes, fungi) and arthropods (insects and mites), while minimizing the heating effect on the host material. Our patented technology provides significant advantage that includes rapid disinfection and disinfestations turn time, low energy use and does not require the use of chemicals or dangerous radiation. Additionally, for fresh foods and food products, the technology results in little to no degradation of nutritional and sensory characteristics.

The RFB technology is being developed by Professor Manuel Lagunas-Solar of UC Davis.
