By Caryn Smith, Chief Content Officer & Publisher, IFN

As an emerging leader in nanofiber solutions to combat the spread of harmful bacteria, LAM-X is proving to offer an innovative, flexible, and sustainable solution that reaches into air, water, beverage, and healthcare industries. The company, founded in 2020, retained its original mission to combat bacterial contamination using its innovative nanofiber technology.

Roman Chaloupka, LAM-X CEO/CTO, is a PhD in Molecular Biophysics. He shares with International Filtration News how LAM-X’s nanofiber material, which includes synthetic or biodegradable polymers and a photosensitizer, effectively kills bacteria and viruses using light activation. The technology has achieved global patent protection and is tested against various microorganisms that meet international standards.

The innovation in LAM-X lies within its optimal polymer composition and the photosensitizers embedded in it, which eliminates microbes upon blue light activation without negative side effects. The company is adaptive to its customer’s needs, with the ability to creatively think through complex problems. The nanofiber is composed of biodegradable polymers, eliminating the toxicity found in heavy metals such as silver and titanium oxide. The special fiber has been proven to kill all types of bacteria, regardless of their resistance.

LAM-X is being targeted by innovative well-known companies in the B2B market, focusing on water and air filtration to
