What independent third-party evidence exists that was not paid for by C-POLAR?

The peer-reviewed paper names who supported the work and what its authors declared, and the company publishes no funding statement for a laboratory report.

The peer-reviewed paper the Validation page cites is Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology, September 2024, doi 10.1128/spectrum.04097-23. The published paper states that the work was supported by unrestricted grants from C-POLAR Technologies, Inc., and in part by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council, the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS), the KGH Foundation and the University of British Columbia Okanagan, and that its authors declare no conflict of interest; it also states: “A.R. receives consulting fees from C-POLAR Technologies, Inc.” Three of its 31 authors list C-POLAR Technologies as their affiliation. The work was also supported in part by the US National Institutes of Health, grant AI132638, to M.K.M., which NIH RePORTER lists as Prof. Mansour's grant at Massachusetts General Hospital; the grant is printed in the paper's manuscript rather than in the published acknowledgments. The NIH grant supported part of the published research, and the company does not present it as an NIH review, endorsement or approval of NanoFlashing™. A laboratory report is the issuing laboratory’s document. The results the company publishes come from outside laboratories. The company names the laboratory for each report it cites, with the report number and the standard where the report prints them. Eurovent Certita Certification Certificate No. 15.06.011 and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate 17.0.25812 are certificates, issued by a certification body to a holder. A test report is not a certification, and an accreditation of a laboratory is not a statement about any product it tested. Both numbers can be checked at source: certificate 17.0.25812 in OEKO-TEX’s public label check, and Certificate No. 15.06.011 in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory. The Terms of Use state: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” The company publishes no record of an attempt by other researchers to replicate the result, successful or not.
