Aerosol Research and Engineering Lab conducted an independent study with the Novaerus NV900 and found it effective in killing the airborne MS2 virus, a surrogate for influenza.

“In a matter of hours, the air showed a 4.4 log reduction, which translates to a 99.99% reduction of the virus in the air,” says Felipe Sobreron, Chief Technology Officer of Novaerus. He continues, “This finding is significant in support of plasma-based air purification technology as a safe and effective approach to infection control measures.”

Facilities from healthcare to hotels and schools are plagued during the flu season. Flu viruses, however, are usually transmitted through droplets coughed or sneezed into the air.

Alone, traditional hand washing and cleaning methods are not enough to prevent and contain outbreaks. During the flu season it is critical to destroy viruses in the air before they are inhaled or land on surfaces. This provides a comprehensive infection defense system for high traffic indoor facilities. Strong enough to destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, spores and allergens. Its safe design runs 24/7 to annhiliate airborne pathogens.
