Kismet Tech Talks

Rethinking Odor Control with Dr. Keri Lestage

In this episode of Kismet Tech Talks, CEO Shari Costantini sits down with Dr. Keri Lestage, Kismet’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, to rethink what odor control can mean at the material level. Odor is often treated as a nuisance to be covered up, but in many environments, it can be a signal of something deeper: surface contamination, bacterial activity, trapped chemical compounds, or product performance challenges. Dr. Lestage discusses how Kismet’s technology is being explored for odor control across surfaces, textiles, and product applications where traditional solutions may only mask the problem instead of addressing it at the source. The conversation covers the difference between absorbing chemical odors and helping reduce bacteria-related odors, why long-lasting surface performance matters, and how ingredient-level innovation could create new opportunities for product developers, manufacturers, and industries looking for smarter odor control solutions. Listen in to learn how Kismet is helping reframe odor control from a fragrance challenge into a material science opportunity. Ready to reimagine the power of clean?

Nanozyme Innovation: Delivering Residual Surface Protection

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remain one of the most persistent and costly challenges in healthcare today, impacting approximately 1 in 31 hospital patients on any given day in the U.S., according to the CDC. In this episode, Kismet Technologies’ CEO Shari Costantini sits down with Microbiology Manager Kelly Ager to explore the science and results behind NanoRAD, a breakthrough surface treatment designed for continuous protection. Drawing from a recent hospital study, Kelly shares the results and how NanoRAD achieved up to 90% reduction in microbial bioburden on high-touch surfaces, such as privacy curtains, sharp containers, and waiting room chairs. Discover how NanoRAD uses nanotechnology to oxidize germs, and why this innovation could help lower HAIs, reduce healthcare costs, and create safer environments. 🔬 Learn more about the study_download the complete study HERE [https://kismettechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/NanoRAD-Coating-and-Film-Spray-Improve-Disinfection-in-Multiple-Hospital-Settings.pdf].
