About Oxidant Labs
Oxidant Labs is a cleantech startup focused on the research and development of technologies for biological decontamination in textiles and buildings.
Our work is centred on contaminants that conventional cleaning approaches may leave behind, including mould, bacteria, allergens, microbial fragments, and biotoxins. These can persist long after visible growth has been removed, and may continue to affect indoor environments and personal belongings.
We are currently investigating a range of approaches aimed at addressing biological contamination and its associated by-products, with a particular focus on contaminated textiles and mould-affected environments.
Our current areas of development include:
• Laundry formulations designed to assist in the removal of biological contaminants, allergens, biotoxins, and other difficult-to-remove residues from fabrics and textiles.
• Building treatment technologies designed to target biological contamination and the complex residues associated with mould-affected environments.
Rather than focusing solely on visible contamination or spore reduction, our research explores the broader biological and chemical components that may contribute to persistent contamination. Our work draws on applied chemistry, microbiology, environmental science, engineering, and real-world field testing as we investigate practical solutions for decontamination challenges.
Built Through Scientific Collaboration
We would also like to publicly acknowledge and thank the many individuals who have generously contributed their expertise, guidance, feedback, and encouragement throughout our development journey.
Our work has benefited from input across a wide range of disciplines, including microbiology, mycology, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, and medicine.
As an early-stage company, we recognise that meaningful innovation rarely happens in isolation. Researchers, scientists, engineers, industry professionals and technical specialists have all played a role in helping shape our understanding, challenge our assumptions, refine our approach, and accelerate our progress.
While there is still much work ahead, we remain committed to a simple goal: finding practical, science-driven ways to tackle biological contamination in the built environment, and to build products that genuinely improve outcomes for the individuals, families and organisations living with these problems
To everyone who has shared knowledge, reviewed ideas, provided technical advice, contributed research, offered mentorship, or simply encouraged us to keep moving forward — thank you.
Your support has helped make this work possible.
