Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an enzymatically generated iodine microbiocide and more specifically to the use of such a microbiocide for the inactivation of pathogenic organisms that are contaminants in sensitive biological materials. The biocidal agent from the enzymatic reaction is free molecular iodine generated so as to (1) establish a minimum level above 10 ppm of free molecular iodine and (2) to establish defined ratios of free molecular iodine to other iodine species such that free molecular iodine comprises at least 10% of the total iodine species present on a molar basis.
