Abstract
An apparatus for treating a pathogen, comprising: a liquid formulation comprising: (1) a copolymer, the copolymer comprising: acylated monomers comprising a —COR1 group attached to a nitrogen of a —N—CH2—CH2— element, wherein R1 comprises an alkyl group; and protonated monomers comprising a —NH2+—CH2—CH2— group, the acylated monomers and the protonated monomers comprising any order in the copolymer; (2) a total cationic charge of the copolymer in a range of 0.4 to 15 C/cm3, the total cationic charge at least 98% offset by anionic counterions; and (3) an antipathogen property resultant in killing at least 99% of the pathogen within ten minutes of contact of the pathogen with the liquid formulation.
