Ten Carbon Chemistry

Ten Carbon Chemistry is an Australian biotechnology company specializing in the development of high-performance, non-toxic antimicrobial solutions based on proprietary fatty acid technology. A spin-off of Wintermute Biomedical, the company's core platform, GS-2, utilizes a patented method to make capric acid (a ten-carbon fatty acid) water-soluble without the use of toxic solvents. This technology effectively disrupts the lipid membranes of bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses while maintaining a high safety profile for humans and the environment. TCC's products, including the Doxall range, are applied across healthcare, agriculture, food processing, and industrial sectors to combat antimicrobial resistance and enhance biosecurity. The company is actively expanding its portfolio into medical device coatings and advanced wound care applications.
