TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. is a global leader in biological decontamination and infectious disease control, and the manufacturer behind the SteraMist® product line — the only commercially available iHP decontamination system powered by patented Binary Ionization Technology (BIT™). TOMI’s technology traces its origins to DARPA-funded research developed in response to the 2001 anthrax attacks, and has since been validated across laboratory, vivarium, pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare, blood bank, cannabis, and pathology environments as a no-wipe, no-rinse, non-corrosive alternative to traditional liquid chemical disinfection and vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) systems. ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for TOMI Environmental Solutions, providing laboratories, research institutions, and regulated facilities across the U.S. with genuine SteraMist products, expert application guidance, and access to the full TOMI decontamination ecosystem.

At the core of every SteraMist system is Binary Ionization Technology — a patented two-step process that activates a less-than-8% hydrogen peroxide solution into submicron ionized hydroxyl radical particles that disperse like a gas, reaching recesses, undersurfaces, and equipment-adjacent zones that manual wipes and liquid disinfectants cannot reliably penetrate. BIT™ delivers a validated 6-log reduction (99.9999%) kill efficacy against bacteria, bacterial spores, viruses, and fungi — the internationally recognized standard for sterilization-level decontamination — with a 7-minute contact time, no post-treatment wipe requirement, and no corrosive residue that could damage sensitive laboratory instruments, electronics, plastics, or materials in the treatment zone. Because iHP breaks down into water vapor and oxygen after the contact period, TOMI systems require no exhaust infrastructure, no personal protective equipment beyond standard operator safety protocols, and no chemical neutralization steps, making them operationally faster and less labor-intensive than comparable VHP decontamination solutions across high-frequency daily maintenance and periodic terminal decontamination workflows.

TOMI’s SteraMist product line is engineered to deliver the same BIT™ efficacy across three distinct deployment formats — portable surface disinfection, whole-room fogging, and enclosed material transfer decontamination — allowing facilities to build a layered iHP decontamination program that addresses contamination risk at every point in their operational workflow, from incoming material handling through daily touchpoint disinfection to scheduled terminal room decontamination cycles. ARES Scientific works with vivarium, pharmaceutical and biopharma manufacturing, laboratory, and healthcare facility teams to identify the right combination of SteraMist systems for their specific contamination control requirements, biosafety level, regulatory compliance goals, and operational workflows — contact a product specialist to discuss building a complete TOMI decontamination strategy for your facility.

SteraMist® Decontamination Products Available from ARES Scientific

As an authorized TOMI distributor, ARES Scientific carries the complete SteraMist product lineup, including surface decontamination systems, environment decontamination systems, and decontamination chambers — each using BIT™ iHP technology to deliver validated 6-log reduction efficacy across different facility workflow contexts. The SteraMist Environment System provides automated whole-room iHP fogging for terminal room decontamination and scheduled periodic disinfection of laboratories, vivarium animal rooms, pharmaceutical production suites, and other large regulated spaces, with a three-applicator configuration and automated cycle control that covers spaces up to 3,663 ft³ in under 45 minutes of application time. The SteraMist SteraBox is a stainless steel pass-through iHP decontamination chamber designed for item-level material transfer decontamination at controlled environment entry points — including cleanroom walls, vivarium barrier boundaries, and pharmaceutical production area access points — available in single-door and dual-door pass-through configurations with integrated charcoal filtration that eliminates the need for external exhaust connections. The SteraMist SteraPak is TOMI’s wearable iHP disinfection backpack, delivering the same BIT™ efficacy in a fully portable, battery-powered operator-worn format with up to 65 minutes of cordless runtime for mobile surface decontamination across tight spaces, multi-room treatment routes, and facility areas inaccessible to cart-based or stationary disinfection equipment. The SteraMist Surface Unit and Select Surface Unit provide handheld and precision-format iHP surface disinfection for targeted touchpoint decontamination, biosafety cabinet treatment, cleanroom maintenance, and controlled environment disinfection workflows where operator-directed spot treatment is required. TOMI also offers the SteraMist iHP Solution — the proprietary less-than-8% hydrogen peroxide formulation used across all SteraMist BIT™ systems — available as a consumable supply item for facilities running ongoing SteraMist decontamination programs.
