Item 8.01 Other Events.
In September 2020, Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Texas Biomedical Research Institute (“Texas Biomed”) to test its Particle™ bulb’s ability to inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. On February 24, 2021, preliminary results were issued and confirmed by Texas Biomed that the Particle bulb can successfully inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The test results demonstrated a 95% reduction in the SARS-CoV-2 virus solution after 5 hours of exposure to the Particle bulb; a 99% reduction in 6 hours; and a 99.9% reduction in 8 hours. This data is still undergoing quality control verification and is not final. Nevertheless, it represents a material achievement for the Company and its subsidiary Particle, Inc., and potentially delivers a new resource for the control of the COVID-19 spread. A final report with official results will be published by Texas Biomed. A further announcement will be issued upon receipt and review of the final report.
Texas Biomed https://www.txbiomed.org/ is an independent, non-profit biomedical research institute specializing in infectious diseases. Home to a CDC-regulated biosafety level-4 laboratory, Texas Biomed develops vaccines and therapies to successfully treat some of the world’s deadliest diseases, including COVID-19. Texas Biomed performs both independent, grant-funded research and contract research for several national agencies and is supported by philanthropic organizations.
Particle is an everyday light bulb that both illuminates and safely disinfects surfaces at your home, office, or business. It works like a normal light bulb and fits standard light fixtures. It is available for pre-orders at its website, www.particlebulb.com.
