Our technology

Plus Lab employed and refined two technologies, namely, special high-temperature firing and original melting technology to develop BiSCaO Water.
These technologies are developed in collaboration with Professor Masayuki Ishihara, who is a Professor Emeritus of National Defense Medical College. Afterwards, they are refined from many years of research and development by many researchers, research institutes and MI + Research Institute Hachinohe Lab.
Professor Ishihara is now Plus Lab's Chief Scientific Officer (CSO).

The original research goal was to try to detoxify biochemical weapons, drugs, pesticides, toxic gases, etc., that is, to neutralize those toxic chemicals and gasses to make them friendly to humans, animals and the natural environment. In the course of research, Plus Lab found that BiSCaO Water has a powerful effect on harmful microbes such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. The incredible efficacy of BiSCaO Water was subsequently scientifically tested and confirmed by independent authorities.

BiSCaO Water is calcium ionized water (Ca2+). Its “high efficacy”, "high functionality" and "high safety" are attracting attention in various academic institutions in Japan and overseas.

Sterilization comparative test

As a result of comparison with other companies' products, it was found that BiSCao Water has high sterilizing power.
Since it is a raw material that is kind to humans and the natural environment, it has been found that BiSCaO Water is very effective in disinfecting face masks and it does not compromise the integrity of woven and non-woven masks’ fabric and filters, unlike other products.

Wearing a mask not sanitized with BiSCaO Water
Bacteria and viruses accumulate in the face mask from sweat and steam and from your breath when the mask is worn for some time. The accumulated sweat and steam make the mask smell unpleasant and can cause rashes and redness to your skin.
skin with no P.acnes
Wearing a mask sanitized with BiSCaO Water
BiSCaO Water kills bacteria and deodorizes the face mask making it smell fresher and cleaner when you wear it again. Unlike other sanitizers, BiSCaO Water also inactivates endotoxins which is a toxic by-product of dead germs and viruses. As a result, you can safely wear the face mask after spraying BiSCaO Water onto the inside of your face mask. BiSCaO Water does not irritate your skin. In fact, it is kind to your skin,
