EVOQ research library

Explore the publications, test data, and technical resources behind EVQ-218 and the EVOQ material platform.

The scientific foundation for EVQ-218

Two peer-reviewed publications establish the current scientific foundation: material characterization of laser-ablated EVQ-218 and serial-passage resistance research across ESKAPE pathogens.

EVQ-218: Characterization of High-Energy Nanoparticles that Measure up to NIST Standards

Sakawa et al. describe the laser-ablation process used to produce spherical EVQ-218 material, including morphology, very narrow size distribution, optical behavior, and surface characteristics. The publication provides the core characterization record for the platform.

Escaping the ESKAPE Antimicrobial Resistant Cycle with EVQ-218

Kennon et al. report serial-passage testing of EVQ-218 across all six ESKAPE pathogens. After 30 passages, no measurable MIC increase was observed, while comparator antibiotics showed increased MICs.

Material characterization

Review the peer-reviewed characterization record for EVQ-218: spherical morphology, very narrow size distribution, surface behavior, and production through high-energy laser ablation.

Antimicrobial and resistance research

Explore study-level antimicrobial results, serial-passage resistance research, and the evidence behind EVQ-218’s activity across bacterial, fungal, and mycobacterial isolates.

Application evidence

Find biocompatibility, coating, polymer, device-format, and encrustation test records—organized around what was tested and the endpoint measured.

Structure first

EVOQ begins with the material itself. The platform uses high-energy laser ablation in water to form spherical metamaterials without chemical reducing agents, surfactants, or added capping agents.

That process is designed to establish structure during formation rather than correct it afterward. The result is a consistent starting material for research programs that depend on controlled morphology, surface behavior, and production repeatability.

Use the How It Works page for the process overview, then review the Results page for study-level outcomes.
