Inolyt's DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters are a new class of antimicrobials engineered at the molecular level to protect the surfaces conventional solutions fail to reliably defend.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global challenge impacting healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental safety. Resistant pathogens contribute to contamination risks in hospitals, public spaces, and industrial settings.

Our breakthrough technology combines the antimicrobial power of silver with the programmability and biocompatibility of DNA. Unlike conventional silver nanoparticles, DNA-AgNCs contain only a few silver atoms per cluster — yet deliver dramatically superior antimicrobial performance.
Membrane disruption and ROS generation via multiple simultaneous mechanisms — reducing the likelihood of resistance development.
Designed for targeted antimicrobial activity on surfaces with a favorable physicochemical profile.
Rapid degradation with no accumulation in crops, soil, or water.
Shelf-stable, no cold chain, scalable production without specialized infrastructure.
Intrinsic fluorescent properties enable real-time monitoring and confirmation of deployment.
Tunable properties via DNA scaffold engineering for pathogen-specific targeting.
DNA-AgNCs outperform both traditional antibiotics and conventional silver nanoparticles across various critical dimensions.
