WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO
Micron Pure™ develops and licenses air and surface sanitation technologies that quickly and effectively remove over 99.99% of pathogens, viruses, bacteria, germs, and other biological threats. Micron Pure™ reduces airborne bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores to decrease infection rates from airborne pathogens.
WHY IT MATTERS
WHY IT MATTERS
Micron Pure™ creates safe environments for working, learning, and community. Micron Pure™ reduces airborne contamination from person-to-person, periodically helps to inactivate pathogens left on objects that become airborne from an infected person. Complements measures already in place to lower the impact of COVID-19. Enhances the effectiveness of social distancing. Can help reduce infection while vaccines and medicines are developed and tested. Reduces Contamination. Increases protection for high risk and high contamination areas such as hospitals, nursing homes, airports, etc.
TECHNOLOGY
Micron Pure:
The Micron Pure™ device is designed to reduce airborne bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores to decrease infection rates from airborne pathogens. For this study, the Micron Pure™ device was challenged using aerosolized MS2 bacteriophage which has been historically used as a surrogate for influenza and is now being considered as a surrogate for coronaviruses such as COVID-19 due to the size similarity to influenza and RNA genome.
The CDC estimates that the influenza virus is responsible for 140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually. This study evaluated the efficacy of the device against aerosolized MS2 bacteriophage as well as various sizes of polystyrene latex microspheres (PSL) in a stainless steel bioaerosol chamber.
