Micron Pure is an FDA-cleared 510(k) Class II medical device that represents a breakthrough in air purification technology for any building. The system uses a revolutionary closed-loop process that harnesses the power of UV-C light and ozone to eliminate airborne pathogens, bacteria, fungi, and chemical agents—all while people remain safely in the room.

Here's how the technology works: Air is continuously drawn into a sealed catalyst chamber where high-intensity UV-C light (80W at 185 and 250 nm wavelengths) converts oxygen (O₂) into ozone (O₃). fracture. Ozone instantaneously destroys pathogens through carbon-carbon bond cleavage and cell wall oxidation—achieving pathogen destruction in just 1.2 seconds. The treated air then passes through a proprietary catalyst chamber that converts the ozone back into safe oxygen before returning purified air to the environment. The entire process creates zero harmful byproducts and maintains ozone levels at 1 part per billion (PPB) at return air registers—cleaner than ambient outdoor air and far below OSHA's 50 PPB safety threshold.

What this means for occupants is the continuous eradication of all pathogens, from seasonal viruses to wildfire smoke to black mold. It should even be considered by the military and homeland security agencies for defense against chemical or biological threats

Absolutely. Safety is at the core of Micron Pure's design, which is why it earned FDA 510(k) Class II medical device clearance specifically for removing airborne pathogens in spaces with continuous human occupancy. The system has achieved Intertek's UL 2998 "Zero Ozone" designation, confirming that ozone emissions are undetectable at the limits of detection (1 PPB).

Unlike other technologies that expose occupants to potentially harmful UV light or ozone, Micron Pure's closed-loop system keeps all pathogen destruction contained within the sealed reactor chamber. The proprietary catalyst technology ensures that ozone is completely converted back to oxygen before treated air returns to the occupied space. This means residents, workers, healthcare staff, students, military personnel, patients, and institutional staff can remain safely present while the system operates continuously, providing 24/7 protection without interruption.

Micron Pure delivers exceptional, laboratory-verified performance across the full spectrum of biological and chemical threats. Independent third-party testing demonstrates:

Viral Threats: 99.998% removal per pass and 99.9999% removal in a room environment against SARS-CoV-2 (original and Delta strains) and MS2 Bacteriophage (which is 1/4 the size of SARS-CoV-2), tested by the University of Missouri Laboratory for Infectious Disease Research, MRIGlobal, and Innovative Bioanalysis.

Bacterial Threats: 99%+ removal per pass against both Gram-Positive (Staphylococcus) and Gram-Negative (Pseudomonas) bacteria, verified by Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories.

Biological Warfare Agents: 6-7 log reduction (99.99999%+ elimination) against resilient spores like Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), achieving irreversible structural collapse of protective spore coats—something standard chemical disinfectants cannot accomplish.

Chemical Agents: 100% removal (hitting absolute limits of detection) of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH₃), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), with zero hazardous byproducts detected by independent laboratories.

This threat-agnostic capability means a single Micron Pure unit provides comprehensive protection against biological warfare agents, pandemic viruses, healthcare-associated infections, and chemical/toxic industrial compounds.

The fundamental difference is that Micron Pure actively destroys pathogens at the molecular level, while HEPA filters merely trap them physically. This distinction creates critical advantages for military and institutional workforce protection:

HEPA filters rely on physical sequestration, which creates several vulnerabilities: high risk of re-aerosolization during pressure changes or filter replacement; creation of hazardous waste requiring specialized disposal protocols; need for facility evacuation during contaminated filter changes; and inability to neutralize chemical agents or toxic vapors. HEPA filters essentially act as "biohazard sponges" that accumulate dangerous material over time.

Micron Pure's active molecular destruction eliminates these risks entirely. Pathogens are obliterated via gas-phase oxidation in 1.2 seconds, leaving only benign byproducts (oxygen and trace amounts of water vapor). There is zero hazardous waste footprint, no contaminated filters requiring special disposal, and no evacuation needed for maintenance. The system also destroys chemical agents and volatile organic compounds that pass straight through HEPA filters. This dramatically reduces the logistical burden while increasing protection levels—a crucial advantage for deployed military operations and resource-constrained institutional settings.

Micron Pure's modular design and multiple configurations make it exceptionally versatile for force protection applications across diverse platforms:

Field Hospitals: The Micron Pure Mini (100 lbs, 35" H × 21" W × 17" D) integrates seamlessly into Biocontainment Isolation Systems (BCIS), providing continuous pathogen eradication in deployed medical facilities. Coverage of up to 5,000 square feet with 200 CFM airflow massively exceeds the 12 Air Changes per Hour (ACH) requirement for isolated ICU beds while maintaining the mandated -2.5 Pascals negative pressure differential.

Naval Vessels: Configured for Shipboard Isolation Systems (SIS) with appropriate validation for power, fireproofing, and maritime environmental conditions. The compact form factor and plug-and-play operation make integration straightforward.

Medical Transport: The In-Ceiling configuration can be adapted for wheeled vehicles, aircraft, and Personal Protective Transport Systems (PPTS). At just 50 lbs (9" H × 24" W × 48" L), the In-Ceiling unit can be reconfigured to < 25 lbs for single-patient stretcher applications, staying well below MIL-STD-1472 two-person carry limits.

Institutional Facilities: Already deployed with Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Customs and Border Patrol (Department of Homeland Security), and Columbia University's chemical laboratories handling highly caustic compounds.

Micron Pure is also deployed in hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities, ensuring clean air at the molecular level in mission-critical environments.

The technology achieves Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6-8 depending on platform, with TRL 6 already achieved for field hospitals and shipboard applications.

This is where Micron Pure's competitive advantage becomes most dramatic. While competing technologies like UVGI (currently under a EPA order) can actually worsen mold contamination by breaking spores and releasing mycotoxins into occupied spaces, Micron Pure achieves 99.99%+ black mold reduction through complete molecular destruction.

The key is ozone's ability to break carbon-carbon bonds in organic compounds. Black mold spores, mycotoxins, and volatile organic compounds are completely oxidized at the molecular level—not just trapped or broken apart. Independent laboratory testing confirmed 100% removal of ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), hitting absolute limits of detection with zero hazardous byproducts.

This capability is critical for military operations in contaminated environments and for protecting personnel in facilities with poor air quality, water damage, or chemical exposure risks. Peer-reviewed academic research has also demonstrated ozone's high effectiveness against nerve agents, providing CWMD (Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction) resilience that passive filtration systems simply cannot deliver.

Compared with other indoor air quality (IAQ) technologies, Micron Pure offers superior cost performance with lower sustainment cost, greater square footage coverage per unit and unmatched performance.

First, Micron Pure is an FDA-approved 510K device for the eradication of pathogens in the presence of humans, meaning it kills harmful viruses, bacteria, molds, and VOCs while people are in the room. No UVGI device has been approved at this level.

Second, Micron Pure has undergone rigorous independent laboratory testing in actual room-sized facilities—not a shoebox-sized simulation. Many UVGI device "results" are based on mathematical modeling and not live testing against pathogens and other airborne threats.

Third, the Army’s own research specifies that UV light is ineffective against the mycotoxins released by black mold (stachybotrys chartarum).
