The illumiPure Air Guardian air purifier eliminates airborne pathogens, infectious bacteria, mold spores, yeast and viruses in 13 seconds. The elimination of these airborne pathogens occurs in the disinfection box, where it is activated with UV-TiO2 oxidation (Titanium Dioxide). Below is a breakdown on how the activated UV-TiO2 oxidation works so efficiently.
- UV-activated TiO2 oxidation can kill a wide range of Gram- negative and Gram-positive bacteria, filamentous and unicellular fungi, algae, protozoa, mammalian viruses and bacteriophages.
- The killing mechanism involves degradation of the cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane due to the production of ROS such as hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. This initially leads to leakage of cellular contents then cell lysis.
- Killing is most efficient when there is close contact between the organisms and the TiO2 catalyst.
- Oxidized = Disassembled
Below is a detailed chart explaining the percentage and time frame our products eliminate viruses and bacteria. The results are verified by SEoul SemiConductor one of the largest electronic manufacturers in the world. The table below has a detailed list of viruses and bacteria the illumiPure Air Guardian fans kill.
