What SteraMist does
SteraMist is the commercial brand of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a Frederick, Maryland-based manufacturer of decontamination products and services built on patented ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP) technology. The core technology — originally developed under DARPA funding in response to weaponized anthrax attacks — passes a 7.8% hydrogen peroxide solution (BIT Solution, EPA Reg. No. 90150-2) through a cold plasma arc, generating sub-micron ionized particles (0.03-3 microns) that achieve validated 6-log microbial reduction. The product portfolio spans portable units (SteraPak, Surface Unit), whole-room systems (Environment System), mobile units (The Transport, NV+), and fully integrated systems including the SteraMist Integrated System (SIS) for enclosures and the Custom Engineered System (CES), which connects to building management systems for automated, 21 CFR Part 11-compliant decontamination cycles.
The company generates revenue across four streams: hardware/equipment sales, BIT solution consumables, iHP Decontamination Service (professional on-site service delivery), and iHP Support Services (training, qualification, and the SteraMist Pro Certified partner program). Pricing is quote-based with tiers from under $10,000 (portable) to $70,000+ (integrated systems), supplemented by financing through Reliant Capital Group. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large biopharmaceutical and government installations, a certified TOMI Service Network (TSN) of independent providers for mid-market service delivery, website-driven e-commerce/quote requests for SMBs, and specialty distributors in targeted verticals. The customer base is broad and high-quality — spanning Pfizer, Merck, Catalent, Avid Bioservices, Fresenius Kabi, Corteva, CDC, NIH, FDA, USDA, Saint Francis Hospital, MD Anderson, and UTMB — across healthcare, life sciences/biopharmaceutical, food safety, commercial restoration, and biosecurity/emergency response verticals.
The company has 11-50 employees, regulatory approvals spanning the US, Canada, UK, and a growing EU footprint (Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Hungary), and recent strategic momentum including a $50 million universal shelf registration (November 2025), a ~$500,000 biopharma purchase order (December 2025), and a ~$3 million pipeline through major enclosure manufacturer partnerships for life sciences integrations.

SteraMist competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Bioquell (Ecolab): Bioquell was the originator of hydrogen peroxide vapor disinfection for healthcare and life sciences cleanrooms and was acquired by Ecolab in 2024. Most directly comparable to SteraMist: same active chemistry (H2O2), same biopharma/HAI end-uses, same regulatory positioning under EN 17272.
- Halosil International: U.S. disinfection company selling a hydrogen peroxide-based room fogging system directly against SteraMist's whole-room Environment System and SteraPak, primarily in healthcare, schools and commercial restoration segments.
- Xenex Disinfection Services: Maker of LightStrike pulsed-xenon UV robots used for hospital room terminal disinfection; sells directly into healthcare systems alongside SteraMist's healthcare facility customer base. Different mechanism (UV-C vs. iHP) but same buyer, same budget line.
- ClorDiSys Solutions: Provider of chlorine dioxide gas and dry-mist decontamination for BSL-3/BSL-4 labs, vivariums and pharmaceutical cleanrooms; offers an alternative room decontamination modality directly competing with SteraMist's Environment System and SIS in life sciences.
Broad incumbents
- STERIS plc: Global sterilization and infection prevention incumbent serving hospitals, sterile processing departments and biopharma manufacturers. Overlaps with SteraMist in cGMP facility decontamination and HAI prevention but competes across a much broader portfolio including steam sterilization, low-temperature sterilization and capital equipment.
- Getinge: Swedish-listed infection control, sterilization and surgical workflows business. Competes with SteraMist in sterile processing for hospitals and biopharma, but Getinge's installed base sits primarily in steam/sterilizer equipment rather than room decontamination chemistry.
- Ecolab: Global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention; now owns Bioquell and competes with SteraMist across healthcare, food safety and life sciences with deep sales coverage in nearly every geography TOMI serves.
Emerging players
- Noxilizer: Specialty sterilization company using nitrogen dioxide for low-temperature medical device and biopharma sterilization. Targets overlapping customers in medical device manufacturing and cell/gene therapy CDMOs but with a narrower product set.
- American Ultraviolet: Manufacturer of UV-C surface and air disinfection equipment used in healthcare, food processing and life sciences facilities. Competes with SteraMist at the lower price tier for surface disinfection rather than room decontamination.
Regional players
- JBT (John Bean Technologies): Industrial equipment supplier to food processing customers, including sanitation, freezing and coating systems. Overlaps with SteraMist in food safety decontamination (Ziegenfelder, Mayorga Coffee) rather than healthcare, with a heavier focus on processing-line equipment.
