A Connecticut company has earned a $256,000 federal grant to bolster its work on products to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 through contaminated surfaces.
Sonata Scientific LLC, based in Bethel, said it will use the National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to research and develop products to treat hospital surfaces known to harbor SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The developer of advanced air purification and antimicrobial products said it is working on a light-activated, non-toxic coating for hospital surfaces that can kill the coronavirus as well as bacteria that cause hospital-acquired infections.
“Even with daily wipedowns, these microscopic species accumulate on hospital surfaces such as bed rails and tables,” the company said in an announcement. It said the coating works continuously to reduce the chance of infection.
Under the SBIR grant program, science and technology startups can receive up to $1.75 million to support research and development.
Sonata won the grant under Phase 1 of the program, and is now eligible to apply for a Phase 2 grant of up to $1 million.
