SCENTBUSTER DUST  is a product of Brauker Biotech, Inc., a biotechnology company founded by CEO Jim Brauker, Ph.D.  (Dr. Jim).   I have 22 years industrial science experience, much of it related to the diffusion of molecules and selective separation of molecules by filtration and affinity chromatography (the basic mechanism by which activated carbon works).  After semi-retirement from the biomedical industry, I moved to my home state of Michigan to pursue my obssesive interest in deer hunting.   I became interested in learning better ways to reduce my scent, and it turned out the best way was right down my alley in terms of scientific experience.  Some research on the subject led me to realize that almost every successful big game hunter believed that activated carbon clothing was one of the most important advances in hunting technology in history.  There were many people in my home state of Michigan who believed in activated carbon technology but simply could not afford to buy the very expensive clothing.  Another segment of the hunters believed in carbon technology but were skeptical about whether carbon clothing could be reactivated.  I knew that it could, but I also realized that many people either don't believe it or can't afford the very expensive activated carbon clothing. 

I truly believed that activated carbon was the most powerful means of preventing the escape of smelly gas molecules from the human body.  The main problems were the expense and reactivation skepticism.  My goal became to provide it in a form that could be used in many ways by the average hunter, and is affordable.  There were other similar products available, but the prices were horrendously high.  We are making it available at a very low price of $2.42 per oz. or 14.95 for a 5.5 oz. bottle, with free shipping, alternatively a 2.7 oz. bottle is $9.95.
