Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an enzymatically generated iodine microbicide and more specifically to the use of such a microbiocide for the inactivation of pathogenic organisms that are contaminants in or on sensitive biological materials such as the human eye or tissue culture cells. The biocidal agent from the enzymatic reaction is free molecular iodine generated so as to establish a minimum level of 5 ppm in a fashion such that free molecular iodine comprises at least 25% of the total iodine species present on a molar basis.
