EMist is a biotechnology research company based in Fort Worth, Texas, that develops electrostatic sprayers to apply disinfectants. The equipment is patented and aimed at improving disinfectant coverage and application efficiency, reflecting a focus on effective disinfection in spaces requiring sanitation. The technology was developed with input from Mike Sides, an electrostatic industry authority who collaborates with government and international health organizations. Its devices have seen use in high-profile contexts, including during the 2014 Ebola crisis and deployments at the White House and Pentagon. The founder’s connections with the DOD, the Naval Entomology Center of Excellence, USDA, and WHO underpin the company’s ties to government and international health circles. EMist operates within the biotechnology research space as a provider of specialized disinfection equipment, supported by a relatively small team.
