A Montana State University center http://techlinkcenter.org/ specializing in transferring U.S. military technology to the private sector played a key role in getting into production a portable and potent disinfectant system that kills the Ebola virus on surfaces. This "no power required" system is now being used to sterilize medical equipment used in the treatment of Ebola patients in West Africa.

The U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center in Natick, Mass., developed the system while working on spray decontaminants that could be used to clean Army field kitchens. The system is a method of generating chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas, one of the best biocides available for combatting contaminants that range from benign microbes and food pathogens to Category A Bioterror agents.
