ViveSecure^™200SM is a soft metal activator that is used with ViveSecure^™ 100, to create a solution that is compatible with a wide variety of soft metals, such as aluminum (see Compatibility Chart). ViveSecure 200SM can be used in place of ViveSecure 200 and is ideal for use on aluminum surfaces such as freezer coils, overhead refrigeration units and HVAC systems.

When combined with ViveSecure 100, this product is effective against organisms such as Salmonella, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), and has the ability to penetrate and remove biofilm, while killing biofilm-forming pathogens.

Indicon Gel is a rapid biological hygiene indicator specifically designed to identify the presence of biofilm on a surface. When the product comes into contact with biofilm, Indicon Gel rapidly produces white micro-bubbles/foam within 2 minutes, providing a visual indicator of potential harborage niches.*

*The lack of a positive reaction with Indicon Gel does not guarantee that the surface is free from microorganisms. Indicon Gel is not meant to take the place of routine microbial monitoring or organism specific diagnostic tests.
