#New company to produce water-disinfecting tablets invented at UVA A new University of Virginia-inspired public benefit company with a global health mission,
The Madidrop tablet which will cost between $5 and $10, can provide clean water for up to six months.
The technology transfer company will produce ceramic water disinfection tablets called adidropsfor people in developing countries who have poor access to clean drinking water.
The Madidrop tablet, which uses silver to disinfect water, was developed and extensively tested by UVA scientists and students.
a research scientist in Smith lab, demonstrate use of the Madidrop tablet. UVA maintains ownership of intellectual property rights for Madidrop
000 to 200,000 Madidrop tablets in its first year, for sale primarily to nongovernmental aid organizations such as the U s. Agency for International Development, the International Rescue Committee, Catholic Relief Services
Those entities then would distribute the tablets to developing countries as needed, particularly during times of crises such as after a natural disaster.
The tablets also would be available in the United states. Madidrop PBC expects to eventually build capacity to produce 1 million to 2 million Madidrops per year.
Smith expects Madidrop tablets to cost less than $10 each, and possibly as low as $5 each.
With an effective use life of about six months per tablet, this is significantly cheaper than single-use chemical water purifying tablets,
Madidrop tablets are inexpensive to produce, are durable, reusable and easy to package, transport and ship.
Unlike small chemical tablets that dissolve in water and leave a chlorine aftertaste, Madidrop is made of a continuously reusable ceramic that is simply placed in a water vessel,
Silver ions are released gradually from the tablet, killing pathogens by penetrating cell membranes and disrupting cell division.
Extensive testing at UVA labs show that the tablet causes better than a 99.99 percent reduction in such infectious waterborne bacteria as Vibrio cholera
