EVŌQ Nano is a nanoscience company that creates uniform, stable, sub-10 nm nanoparticles for a wide range of applications.
Our patented nanofabrication process requires only laser energy, ultrapure water, and pure silver metal. Ablation via a multiple, cross-laser system occurs at temperatures and pressures akin to diamond formation. The single-step, high-volume laser process generates stable, pure metal nanoparticles directly into pharmaceutical-grade water.

EVŌQ Nano is backed by $20 million in seed funding. The company has several R&D partnerships.
While silver’s antibacterial qualities have been known for centuries, it is widely established that the antimicrobial activity is due to ion emission, which poses toxicity risks for biomedical and consumer product applications.1-4
Compared to traditional nanosilvers, EVQ-218 is differentiated by dissolution and surface chemistry as the first stable, nonemissive, pure silver nanoparticle, making it a superior candidate for biomedical and consumer product use.5
The first therapeutic in development using EVQ-218 is for the treatment of pulmonary bacterial infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. Supported by 2 grants from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, research found an inhaled therapeutic using EVQ-218 demonstrated efficacy against pathogens linked to pulmonary infections:
EVŌQ Bio’s novel platform has the potential to enable therapeutic development for a broad spectrum of diseases.
