    • 2015 July 9, “Antibacterial Properties and Mechanism of Activity of a Novel Silver-Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide”, in PLOS ONE‎[1], →DOI:
      Concentrations of 70-500 ppm HSP had a pronounced effect on metabolic activity while the equivalent concentrations of ionic silver (50- 375 ppb) had a negligible effect, demonstrating that the microbiocidal activity of HSP was due to peroxide rather than silver.
