Living through a pandemic taught us we critically need better technology to fight pathogens of the future. Trinion Labs’ (formerly named Fathhome) Co-founders have answered the call with their naturally derived, patented and residue-free disinfection technology. 

Trinion Labs uses ozone to kill a wide range of pathogens in 10 minutes. With a unique catalytic converter design and smart safety sensors, they have eliminated the risks commonly associated with exposure to ozone gas. 

Thanks to backing from the NSF and CDC, Trinion has published two peer-reviewed studies so far on the tech’s disinfection powers alongside Berkeley National Labs and University of Nevada Reno in the Pathogens and Medicine in Microecology journals, respectively. “The secret lies in the fact that all the disinfection gas is generated and subsequently destroyed at the point of use,” says Khazaieli. With rechargeable filters and on-board ozone emissions sensors, Trinion’s innovation can disinfect objects without exposing users or the environment to ozone, even indoors.

Trinion Labs’ Innovative Ozone Disinfectant Tech

Ozone, a naturally occurring compound, has unparalleled disinfection properties, making it highly effective in killing pathogens and viruses without leaving any chemical residue behind. Because of its effectiveness, several industries are currently utilizing ozone for disinfection. 

“The technology has been around for 20-plus years,” Khazaieli explains. “There are plenty of ozone disinfectors on the market but none of them are well-suited for use in an indoor environment or high traffic setting. We’ve developed a system with all of the disinfecting power, and zero emission of ozone into the surrounding environment.  That’s the key innovation here.”

Eco-friendly: A Game-Changer

Another standout feature of this technology is its energy efficiency. Traditional disinfection methods, such as UV sterilization and heat-based processes, consume significant amounts of energy. Trinion Labs’ ozone-based solution is 100 times more energy-efficient and has no harmful byproducts, making it eco-friendly. This reduces operational costs and provides a robust defense vector in disaster recovery and engineered pandemic responses. 

Outside the United States, there’s a very high secondary medical market. Reggie explains, “A key thing about our technology is it generates disinfecting gas at the point of use, meaning there’s not a consumable that you have to ship across the world. If you’re in the desert, you could plug it into a generator. It’ll have the same effectiveness that it would have in a hospital without shipping canisters of disinfectant across the world. It doesn’t need to happen.” 

The eco-friendly aspects of Trinion Labs’ technology extend beyond the minimal environmental impact and low energy consumption. The core innovation is that this gas-based approach leaves no residues or toxic byproducts. Because ozone dissipates naturally in the atmosphere, it’s a safe alternative in a world filled with toxic disinfectants and increasingly resistant pathogens or “super bugs.” Finally, in a state of emergency, this technology could be used to extend the life of single-use PPE. This provides a means to combat the mountains of disposable waste while providing peace of mind.

Making a Difference in Dentistry

After years of NSF & CDC funded feasibility studies and R&D, Trinion’s novel disinfector found a market in restorative dentistry. “Actually Eric found us,” explains Reggie, referring to their channel partner and Dental champion Dr. Zaremski, “He saw our medical prototypes when we were in preliminary exploration of medical applications during COVID.” As an early adopter, Dr. Zaremski uses Trinion’s disinfector multiple times per day to augment infection control at his own practice, SmileMarin.

In their first conversation, “He was like, ‘I’m a dentist. I use ozone in my practice. When used safely it’s a natural alternative that has benefits from a Restorative Dentistry perspective. Can you retrofit your technology to our use case?” And the answer was yes. In fact, many of the market verticals Trinion has conducted iterative customer development with (through NSF funded research and beyond) have come about in a similar fashion. “They come to us with a huge disinfection problem, and we apply our technology to that use case,” says CTO Reggie, “and that’s also why we’re so confident holistic/bio-dentists are the ideal market to launch our first product in.”  

The technology allows dentists to streamline their processes, eliminate the use of cancer-causing chemicals, and provide a cleaner and safer experience for patients and staff. Early betas suggest Dentists can achieve unprecedented peace of mind against nosocomial infections while clawing back 1-2 hours per 10 patients, per day. 

“It can sanitize rubbers, plastics, water lines, and other equipment that touches patients, but dentists dont have time to diligently cold-sterilize, unlike the tools that can be autoclaved.” Dentists can achieve 99.99% broad-spectrum disinfection for virtually anything in the room, having it up and ready for the next patient in less than 10 minutes.

The Future of Trinion Labs 

The journey of Trinion Labs, founded by Amir Khazaieli and Reggie Jean-Brice, was driven by a pivotal partnership. The combination of Amir’s expertise in product value development along with Reggie’s product design background in electrical and mechanical engineering created a dynamic duo. From the moment Reggie used an early prototype to disinfect and deodorize his festering protein shaker, he knew the technology was on a path to revolutionizing global disinfection practices.

Still, it doesn’t end there. With its technological advantages and energy efficiency, Trinion Labs has the potential to make a lasting impact in fields beyond medicine, including aerospace, military, fitness, and more.

The need for front-line pathogen defense has never been more critical across industry. Trinion Labs, led by visionary co-founders Amir Khazaieli and Reggie Jean-Brice, has risen to the occasion with a goal of providing technological peace of mind in the face of disaster preparedness and engineered pathogen response. Together, they envision a future where the world can rely on safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious disinfection solutions that just make sense, for dentistry and far beyond.
