(NASDAQ: AGRI), an intellectual property-focused technology company, has announced the acquisition of Radical Clean Solutions (RCS), aiming to diversify into new markets with RCS's patent-pending hydroxyl technology. This acquisition is expected to enhance AgriFORCE's portfolio by providing environmentally friendly solutions for eliminating pathogens, molds, viruses, and volatile organic compounds in contained environments without harmful chemicals. The RCS Hydroxyl Technology generates hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that naturally occur in the outdoor environment and play a role in atmospheric cleaning. These radicals effectively break down various contaminants at an atomic level. With this technology, AgriFORCE aims to address the needs of multiple industries, including healthcare, education, commercial business, storage facilities, and hospitality. Roger Slotkin, founder and president of AgriFORCE's RCS division, highlighted the technology's adaptability to various markets and verticals, emphasizing its potential impact on public health and safety. The technology's initial application in agriculture and food storage has already shown promise in extending the life of produce by combating natural degradation. Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE, underscored the significance of the RCS technology for investors, noting its potential for neutralizing pathogens in contained environments across diverse industries. The company is actively pursuing additional applications for the technology and is keeping stakeholders informed about the commercialization progress. AgriFORCE offers different types of RCS units, including in-duct, portable, trailers, transport, and wall mount units, to provide customers with flexible solutions tailored to their specific needs. The company's broader mission is to build long-term shareholder value through the commercialization of this technology and the pursuit of complementary techn",url:I,image_url:a,video_url:a,publish_time:J,search_extra_info:{search_burial_info:{id:K,uid:w,ab:{scene_id:L,layer_exp:[{layer_id:M,exp_id:N}]}}},simhash:"33d430f66036fe53",msg_id:w}}],answer_chain_name:O,agent_mode:P,native_answer:a,come_from:a,text_answer:E,trace_id:e,cost:18768,event_names:a,question:d,fallback_type:Q,input_type:R,fall_back_reason:{fall_back_type:Q,risk_detail:{matched_words:[]}},session_id:e,first_return_cost:2984,cache_type:a,question_id:e,transfer_question:d,signal_type:"ON_COMPLETE",start_time:S,remote_svc:l,slots:[],answer_type:v,user_id:r,skill_name:x},renderList:[{type:"base_info",answer_path:"logs\u002FbaseInfo",logs:[],base_info:{trace_id:e,session_id:e,user_id:r,question:d,source:l,raw_question:d,version:"3.4.1",action_name:x,nlu:{entity:[{type:y,value:"AGRI.O",market:T}]},deep_research:c,deep_thinking:c,agent_mode:P},extra:{}},{answer_path:h,section:{id:i,info_texts:["Thinking"],show_type:j,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:"begin"},logs:[],extra:{is_deep_research:c,deep_thinking:c}},{answer_path:h,section:{id:i,info_texts:["Querying Stock: AGRI Latest Report Period"],show_type:j,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:z},logs:[],extra:{action:U,action_input:"AGRI Latest Report Period",thought:"The user wants to analyze why AGRI's operating expenses increased significantly in Q3 2024.
